CHF Treatment and Rehab
consisted of bed rest until 1980s digitalis and diuretics use to increase pumping effect of heart & increase fluid excretion therapy combined with Alactone surgical treatments: replace damaged heart valves repair myocardial aneurysm damage replace the heart TERM 2
Exercise
DEFINITION 2 reduced PA, accelerates a patient's physical capacity best to have form of PA and vasodilator drug therapy during rehabilitation regular moderate exercise for low-risk patients and symptom limited patients TERM 3
Exercise Prescription
DEFINITION 3 marked exercise tolerance = brief intervals multiple exercise sessions throughout day recognize symptoms of cardiac decompensation TERM 4
Exercise
Benefits
DEFINITION 4 Yields improvements in: functional capacity exercise tolerance muscle metabolism dyspnea level and ventilatory response risk for arrythmias quality of life greater dominance of vagal (parasympathetic) tone TERM 5
Aneurysm
DEFINITION 5 abnormal dilation in the wall of an artery, vein, or cardiac chamber develop when the vessel wall weakens from trauma, congenital vascular, infection, or atherosclerosis classified by their origin discovered by X-rays
Heart Valve
Diseases
Stenosis Insufficiency Prolapse TERM 7
Stenosis
DEFINITION 7 Narrowing or constriction that prevents heart valves from opening fully; may result from growths, scars, or abnormal calcified deposits TERM 8
Insufficiency
DEFINITION 8 occurs when a heart valve closes improperly and blood moves back into a heart chamber; also called "regurgitation" TERM 9
Prolapse
DEFINITION 9 occurs when enlarged valve leaflets in the mitral valve bulge backwards into the left atrium during ventricular systole TERM 10
Valvular Abnormalities
DEFINITION 10 increase the heart's workload causing it to pump harder to force blood through a stenosed valve or to maintain cardiac output if the blood seeps backward into one of its chambers in the diastole phase; rheumatic fever causes scarring and deformity
Cardiac Nervous System Diseases
Affect the heart's electrical conduction system and include: Dysrhythmias Sinus Tachycardia Sinus Bradycardia TERM 17
Dysrhythmias
DEFINITION 17 known as Arrhythmias cause heart to beat too rapidly (tachycardia) cause heart to beat too slowly (bradycardia) heart beats with extra contractions that lead to fibrillation produce changes to circulatory dynamics that cause hypotension, heart failure, and shock negative results usually occur after a stroke induced by increased physical exertion or other stressful conditions TERM 18
Sinus Tachycardia
DEFINITION 18 a resting heart rate above 100 beats per minute TERM 19
Sinus Bradycardia
DEFINITION 19 indicates a resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute occurs frequently with endurance athletes and young adults generally represents a benign dysrhythmia by actually benefiting cardiac function by producing a longer ventricular filling time during the cardiac cycle TERM 20
Cardiac Disease Assessment
DEFINITION 20 Health screening may incude: medical history physical examination laboratory assessment pertinent physiologic testing
Health Screening
needed to optimize safety during exercise testing and program participation assessment of specific risk factors accomplishes the following: identifies and excludes persons with medical contraindications to exercise identifies persons requiring in-depth medical evaluation identifies persons with clinically significant disease who require medical supervision when testing TERM 22
ACSM Risk Stratification
DEFINITION 22 Low Risk men < 45, women < 55, asymptomatic with </= 1 risk factor Moderate Risk men>/= 45, women >/= 55, or have > 2 risk factors High Risk individuals with >/= 1 sign/symptoms of CVD or pulmonary disease or known dieases TERM 23
Cardiovascular Disease
DEFINITION 23 cardiac, peripheral vascular, or cerebrovascular ailment TERM 24
Pulmonary Disease
DEFINITION 24 obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, or cystic fibrosis TERM 25
Metabolic Disease/Disorder
DEFINITION 25 diabetes, thyroid disorder, renal, or liver ailments
