CV System Diagnostic & Therapeutic Procedures

Diagnostic and

Therapeutic Procedures

Including Pharmacology and Abbreviations

Learning Intention

We will be learning about diagnostic & therapeutic procedures of the CV system

Success Criteria

• Correctly use word parts that relate to the cardiovascular system

• Describe common diagnostic & therapeutic procedures of the CV system, including stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, cardiac enzymes, electrocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, CPR, AED, PTCA, stent, CABG, antilipidemic, antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, & thrombolytics AND explain which pathological conditions these procedures would be used to diagnose and treat

• Define these abbreviations- ECG, EKG, CPR, AED, CABG, HTN, CAD, CHF, MI

Study Guide

Diagnostic Procedures

Stethoscope:

● Instrument for listening to body sounds

○ Heart
○ Lungs
○ Intestines

Sphygmomanometer:

● Instrument for measuring blood pressure (BP)
● AKA- blood pressure cuff

Cardiac Enzymes:

● Blood test
● Measures levels of cardiac enzymes

○ Increased level of enzymes = heart damage

Which pathological condition could cause heart
damage

**hint- you learned about this the other day!

○ (ie- myocardial infarction)

Electrocardiogram: (ECG, EKG)

● Records the electrical
activity of the heart
● Shows abnormal heart rhythm

Cardiac Catheterization:

● Thin-tube catheter passed through a blood vessel to the

heart

● Detects blockages

Therapeutic Procedures

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation:
(CPR)

● Used during cardiac arrest
● Combination of chest
compressions and
artificial respirations

Defibrillation:

● Procedure that converts serious irregular heartbeats

by giving electric shocks

**Automated External Defibrillator (AED)- portable defibrillator
used by nonmedical personnel

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty:

Decode each word the best you can!

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty:

● Treats coronary artery narrowing
(atherosclerosis)

● Balloon catheter inflated inside
narrowed blood vessel

Intracoronary Artery Stent:

● Small metal coil placed
in a vessel to treat
atherosclerosis

Coronary Artery Bypass: (CABG)

● Open-heart surgery
● Blood vessel from another area in the body is grafted in

order to bypass blood around a blocked coronary artery
