1. Mr. Garcia had a myocardial infarction. Explain what happened to his heart muscle and vascular system. What is a STEMII? 2. Mr. Garcia's chest pain resolved after two sublingual NTF at 3-minute intervals and 2 mg of IV morphine. In the cardiac catheterization lab he was "found to have a totally occluded distal right coronary artery and a 70% occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. The left anterior descending artery was patent. Angioplasty of the distal right coronary artery resulted in a patent infarct- related artery with near normal flow. A stent was left in place to stabilize the patient and limit infarct size. Left ventricular ejection fraction was normal at 42%, and a posterobasilar scar was present with hypokinesis." a. Explain angioplasty and stent placement. Define occluded occlusion. b. What is the purpose of this medical procedure?

When Rose initially arrived in the emergency department, she was tachycardic, tachypneic, and anxious. She reported sharp chest pain and severe dyspnea with a pulse oximetry reading of 88% on room air. Before being transferred to your unit, Rose had a chest tube placed on the left side, after a chest x-ray showed a pneumothorax resulting from multiple rib fractures. She is currently ordered oxygen at 4 LPM via nasal cannula. (Learning Objectives 4, 5, 6, 10) 1. Describe the purpose of a chest tube for a client with a pneumothorax. 2.

Cardiovascular Case Histories A 32-year-old nurse who had rheumatic fever as a child noticed a persistent tachycardia and light-headedness. Upon examination, chest x-rays showed an enlarged left atrium and left ventricle. ECG analysis showed atrial fibrillation. There was also mild pulmonary edema. Cardiac evaluation resulted in the following information: Cardiac output (CO) 3.4 L/min Blood pressure (BP) 100/58 mm Hg Left atrial pressure (LAP) 16 mm Hg (normal 8-10) Right ventricular pressure (RVP) 44/8 mm Hg (normal 25/4) Heart Rate (HR) = 120 bpm Heart sounds revealed valvular regurgitation. Based on the information provided, which A-V valve is incompetent, allowing the regurgitation? How did you determine this? If the other A-V valve were incompetent instead of this one, would the CO (L ventricle), and BP be different? If so, how? Would you expect the LAP to be normal? Pulmonary hypertension can develop with L sided heart…
