Answer the following questions as they relate to the process of myocardial disease.

           Be specific.

  • What is happening during the myocardial disease process? What does increased resistance in arterial blood vessels result in?
    • Differentiate between stable and unstable angina.
  • What kind of compensation occurs as cardiac output initially goes down as heart tissue becomes more and more hypoxic?

Discuss in detail chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  • Compare and contrast chronic bronchitis and emphysema (include manifestations, etiologies, diagnosis and treatment).
  • Describe the pathophysiology of COPD (include heart, kidney, respiratory muscle compensations, pH discussion, ventilation/perfusion mismatching)
  • What is the significance of the central chemoreceptors in the brainstem in relation to the body's response to these conditions. Why may it be dangerous to give patients high flow oxygen?
