Describe how good management can improve both aspects Explain how the cardiovascular system adapts to exercise por Hannah Barton 1 What is increased contractility of the heart a result of? 2 How can stable and unstable angina be differentiated from the history? 3 Why are blood pressure changes minimal during exercise? 4 How can stable angina progress to unstable angina (acute coronary syndrome) 5 How many patients experiencing an acute MI die before reaching the hospital? 6 What is increased preload a result of? 7 How is reperfusion therapy useful in MI? 8 How is blood pressure calculated? 9 Why must splenic contraction increase during exercise? 10 What are some risk factors for the acute coronary syndromes? 11 What is variant angina? 12 Aspirin for secondary prevention can reduce risk of MI, stroke or vascular death by how much…? 13 What is coronary artery disease an umbrella term for? Whether or not they are provoked by exercise 33% Reduces infarct size and can help to prevent death from heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias Cardiac output x systemic vascular resistance Ageing, hypertension, hypercholesteremia, smoking, obesity Angina without the presence of physical plaques; caused by intense vasospasm Up to 30% of RBCs are stored here and so increased contraction ejects more of these into blood stream to transport oxygen Increased sympathetic nervous system activity 25% The plaque narrowing the lumen ruptures causing platelet aggregation, thrombus formation and unopposed vasoconstriction Increased use of skeletal muscle pumps and peripheral vasoconstriction means Conditions involving atherosclerosis restricting blood flow to the heart, causing ischaemia Reduced pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance to blood flow
