What are the typical sites of pain radiation during myocardial infarction?

The left shoulder

The toe and the left leg

Jaw, teeth, mandible

Dorsal and lumbar areas

Indicate these states that are potentially modifiable major risk factors for Atherosclerosis:

High-fat diet and sedentary life style

Familiar hypercholesterolemia

Alcohol and cigarette smoking

Obesity and lack of physical activity

Indicate correctly the typical Left-sided heart failure symptoms

Peripheral edema

Renal insufficiency

Neck vein distension

Pulmonary congestion

What is/are the mechanism/s for development of Printzmetal’s Angina?

Local hardening of coronary arteries

Local thrombosis in coronary artery

Fatty plaque in coronary artery

Short-time local narrowing of the coronary arteries caused by contraction of the smooth muscle tissue in coronary arteries

Indicate only correct descriptions of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification of Chronic Heart failure:

Class III: marked limitation of activity. Dyspnea with minimal exertion (e.g. Walking slowly upstairs)

Class IV: severe limitation of activity. Symptoms present even at rest. This is end-stage heart failure

Class II: slight limitation of activity. Dypspnea and fatigue with moderate exertion (e.g. Walking upstairs quickly)

Class I: no limitation of physical activity

What are the Clinical Findings in Heart Failure? Indicate only the incorrect statements:

Reduced cardiac output leads to general fatigue

Decreased pulmonary veins pressure leads to fluid collection in lungs

Increased cardiac output leads to decreased peripheral organ perfusion

Dyspnea occurs on any exertion and physical activity

Indicate the potential cause/s of increased cardiac output as a result in the non-progressive compensatory phase of SHOCK

Decreased venous return through R-A-A system activation

Heart muscle contractility augmentation

Activation of sympathetic nervous system

Increase of heart rate

Among the typical Right-sided heart failure symptoms you will not find these:

Hepatomegaly

Fluid pleural cavities in X-ray exam

Cool and pale lower extremities

Swollen ankles

Indicate the possible symptoms and signs associated with angina pectoris:

Dyspnoe (tachpnoe or bradypnoe)

First and second heart sound

Higher BNP levels In blood

Pulmonary congestion

A patient's weekly blood pressure readings for 2 months have ranged between 124/84 and 139/88 mm Hg, with an average reading of 132/86 mm Hg. The general family medicine doctor knows that this blood pressure falls within which blood pressure category?

Stage 1 hypertension

optimal blood pressure

Prehypertension (high normal pressure)

Normal blood pressuresysshock

What are the characteristics of Systolic dysfunction in course of Cardiac Failure

Decrease stroke volume (SV)

Inability to pump blood foreword to the peripheral parts of the body to cover the body's demands

Decreased total cardiac output

Almost always associated with DIASTOLIC dysfunction in parallel as well

Indicate risk factors of development of Ischemic Heart Disease

Cigarette smoking

dyslipidemias

Diabetes mellitus

Increasd concentration of calcineurin inhibitors in peripheral blood

Which conditions are not the typical components of metabolic syndrome?

Chronic gastritis

Increased plasminogen concentration

Increased fibrinogen concentration

Orthostatic hypotension

Choose potential heart-related causes of Ischemic Heart Disease:

Increased diastole time in cardiac cycle

Increased coronary resistance

Cardiac muscle calcification

Bradycardia

What are the potential metabolic complications resulting from the increased NaCl intake to the organism:

Increased release of catecholamines

Increased production of stones in the gallbladder

Vasodilation

Decreased insulin resistance in peripheral tissue

What are the characteristics of Systolic dysfunction in course of Cardiac Failure

Almost always associated with DIASTOLIC dysfunction in parallel as well

Decreased total cardiac output

Decreased stroke volume

Inability to pump blood forward to the peripheral parts of the body to cover the body's demands

A patient's weekly blood pressure readings for 2 months have ranged between 142/93 and 149/95 mm Hg, with an average reading of 146/94 mm Hg. The general family medicine doctor knows that this blood pressure falls within which blood pressure category?

Stage 1 hypertension

Normal blood pressure

Optimal blood pressure

Prehypertension (high normal pressure)

Indicate the potential mechanism/s of hypotensive effect after body weight normalization:

The decrease of peripheral tissue resistance for insulin in the body of obese person

The decrease of autonomic nervous system activity in the body of obese person

The increase of cardiac output in the body of obese person

The decrease of hyperinsulinemia state in body of obese person

Indicate the correct statements about the hypertension (HT)

Secondary HT is less frequent disease than primary HT

Excessive iron consumptions as microelement is a strong risk factor for HT development

One-gene mutation are less frequent found in HT pathogenesis than polygenic defects

Genetic factors create the molecular background only for development of primary HT

Indicate the correct statements about the cigarette smoking in hypertension (HT) development

Reduced the action of hypotensive drugs

Decreases the blood rheological rates

Reduced the ammonia content in blood

Increases the risk of development of malignant, very heavy HT

Select the proper causes of increased oxygen demand for myocardial muscle:

Left ventricle hypertrophy

Tachycardia

Hypothyroidism

Night rest at home
