02.02 Cardiomyopathy for CCRN Review
Included In This Lesson
Study Tools For 02.02 Cardiomyopathy for CCRN Review
Outline
Nursing Points
General
- Cardiomyopathy
- Dilated Cardiomyopathy
- Treatment = Digoxin
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
- AKA hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
- AKA idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis
- Large ventricular septum
- Blocks filling of ventricle with blood = less cardiac output
- Treatment
- Beta-blocker
- Calcium channel blocker
- Decrease contractility to allow more fill
- Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
- Lower chambers of the ventricles are tight and do not expand properly as they fill with blood =so the chambers do not fill with enough blood
- Dilated Cardiomyopathy
