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?

Disorders of Circulatory System Read the statements given below and select the correct option: I. A defect in the region of fossa ovalis leads to the formation of ostium secundum type ASD. II. Malformation of the cusps of aortic valve causes pressure hypertrophy of the left ventricle and atrium. III.

Angina pectoris is a symptom rather than a disease. It's Latin name translates to "pain in the chest." Angina pectoris occurs when the muscle tissue of the heart does not have enough oxygenated blood, resulting in discomfort or pain under the sternum. Do an online search and answer the follow questions: 1. What disease(s) causes angina pectoris? 2. What happens during an angina episode? 3. What type of treatment might be prescribed by the physician? 4. What tests might be ordered by the physician to determine the cause for angina pectoris? Please do not provide more than 2-3 sentences for each question.

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 During her F/U visit, you notice that Mrs. Pender has developed purpura on her arms & lower legs. When you ask her about these “purple spots” she states that she started noticing them about a week ago. 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? 2.Mrs. Pender’s renal function test results show mild kidney impairment. What changes can the nurse anticipate regarding the patient’s medication regimen? 3.The patient asks the nurse, “Why did you have to check the function of my liver?” What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
