Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 5CCS
54-Year-Old Female with a Defective Heart Valve
Dr. El-Sheikh is a 54-year-old Egyptian female who complains of weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. Her heart rate is 96 beats/min, and her blood pressure is 148/54 mm Hg. You notice that she nods her head with every heartbeat, and her radial pulse is very strong and abrupt. Her heart sounds are abnormal, with a long diastolic murmur at the right sternal margin in the second intercostal space.
Her doctor orders an echocardiogram, which shows that Dr. El-Sheikh has severe aortic regurgitation (backflow of blood through an incompetent valve) and an enlarged left ventricle.
5. The additional muscle in Dr. El-Sheikh's enlarged left ventricle means that it requires more oxygen. Which arteries are most important for supplying this ventricle?

67-year-old diagnosed with an irregular heart rhythm. For the past month, she has been taking the following medications for management of her heart condition:
Digoxin 0.25mg once daily
Warfarin (Coumadin) 5mg once daily

The provider has ordered serum LFTs & renal function tests
1.Based on the knowledge of drug pharmacokinetics, how should the nurse explain to the patient the possible cause of the purpura?

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.

He presented to this ED with shortness of breath and was found to have had an acute myocardial infarction of the anterior wall of his heart showing an ST elevation that had previously been left untreated. He developed several complications, including renal failure from a combination of cardiogenic shock and toxicity from the dye used for emergency catheterization of his heart. Hemodialysis was started during this hospitalization because of his renal failure. After spending almost a month in the hospital and developing severe deconditioning, he was discharged to a subacute rehabilitation facility. Examination While he was there, he was noted to have symptoms consistent with mild depression, as well as a prior history of a major depressive episode in 2019.
