Cardic diseases

Abnormal involuntary contraction of atria muscle causing arrythmia.

A-fib

disease in popliteal artery causing insufficient blood supply to LE muscles

Intermittent Claudication

Heart quivers instead of pumping d/t disorganized electrical activity in the ventricles.

V-fib

Results in cardiac arrest with loss of consciousness and no pulse

V-fib

Occurs during a heart attack (MI) and if not treated will result in death

V-fib

sensation of pressure or discomfort occurring at a PREDICTABLE level of exertion or stress

stable angina

pressure or discomfort that is more intense and lasts longer

unstable angina

patches of plaque build up and narrow the inner walls of arteries- over time can restrict blood flow, causing a blood clot

Atherosclerosis

blood clot forming in the deep veins, usually LE

DVT

causes irreversible necrosis to the portion of the heart supplied by the artery

Myocardial Infarction

weakening of heart pump causing a backup of fluid

congestive heart failure

develops after other conditions have damaged or weakened the heart

congestive heart failure

Over 140 systolic and 90 diastolic

High blood pressure (HTN)

plaque deposits in peripheral arteries, mainly LE

PAD

artery disease most common in femoral and popliteal arteries

PAD

Exercise testing to evaluate patients with both cardiac and

respiratory problems

Stress test

chronic incurable damage to lymphatic system that affects normal flow of lymph fluid

lymphedema

abnormal development of lymphatic system

primary lymphedema

result of some other complication that damages lymphatic system

secondary lymphedema
