claudication - correct answer pain in the muscle during exercise that subsides with rest; due to inadequate blood supply
ischemic rest pain - correct
... [Show More] answer more severe symptoms of diminished blood flow; occur when limb not dependent; BP decreased (sleeping)
acute arterial occlusion - correct answer A sudden blockage of arterial blood flow that occurs because of a thrombus, embolus, tumor, direct trauma to an artery.
Symptoms include 6Ps : pallor, pain, pulselessness, paresthesia, paralysis, and polar
Primary Raynauds - correct answer Less severe
Ischemia due to digital arterial spasm
Common in young women
May be hereditary, bilateral; hx of symptoms for 2 years w/o progression/ evidence of cause
Benign condition with excellent prognosis
Secondary Raynauds - correct answer Worst form
Also known as obstructive raynauds syndrome
Normal vasoconstriction responses of arterioles superimposed on a fixed artery obstruction.
Ischemia constantly present**
May be the first manifestation of Buergers disease.
Buerger's disease - correct answer Occurs in men < 40years, associated with heavy smoking, patients present with occlusions of distal arteries = rest pain & ischemic ulcers
pallor - correct answer result of deficient blood supply; skin pale.
Rubor - correct answer suggests dilated vessels or vessels dilated secondary to reactive hyperemia; skin is reddened
Cyanosis - correct answer blue discoloration of the skin caused by a lack of adequate oxygen in the blood
Arterial Lesions/Ulcers - correct answer Ulcerations located: tibial area,foot, toes
Deep and more regular shaped
Quite painful as compared to venous ulcers
Can lead to gangrene: death of tissue due to deficient or absent blood supply
capillary filling - correct answer An increase in what time can denotes decreased arterial perfusion
what type of elevation/dependency changes occur with arterial disease? - correct answer Cadaveric pallor (white) during elevation
Ruborous red discoloration with dependency (dependent rubor)
what pulses can be palpable in body? - correct answer Aorta, femoral, popliteal, DPA, PTA
NOT your Peroneal artery!!!
A fistula, post-stenotic turbulence, or a patent dialysis access site - correct answer A palpable thrill or vibrations over a pulse can indicate what?
Coarctation of Aorta - correct answer 1.Congenital anomaly; congenital narrowing or stricture of thoracic aorta
2.Clinical findings: HTN due to ↓Kidney perfusion, manifests as LE ischemia (↓ pulses and/or segmental pressures)
Arteritis - correct answer 1.Affects the tibial and peroneal arteries [Show Less]
