2 Main A Exercise

What is the purpose of a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft?

• To increase cholesterol levels in the blood

• To worsen heart function

• To improve blood flow to the heart muscle

• To reduce blood flow to the heart muscle

Explain the procedure of Coronary Angioplasty.

• Coronary Angioplasty involves removing the plaque from the artery using a vacuum device

• Coronary Angioplasty involves inserting a catheter with a balloon at the tip into the blocked artery, inflating the balloon to compress the plaque against the artery walls and injecting medication directly into the blocked artery

• During the procedure, the patient is required to hold their breath for an extended period of time

• Coronary Angioplasty involves inserting a catheter with a balloon at the tip into the blocked artery, inflating the balloon to compress the plaque against the artery walls, and then placing a stent to keep the artery open.

When is a Permanent Pacemaker typically implanted?

• When a patient's heart rate is too fast

• When a patient's cholesterol levels are elevated

• When a patient's blood pressure is too high

• When a patient's heart rate is too slow or irregular

Describe the process of Cardiac Catheterization.

• Cardiac Catheterization involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel and threading it to the heart to perform diagnostic tests and treatments.

• Cardiac Catheterization is a non-invasive procedure

• Cardiac Catheterization involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel and removes blockage.

• Cardiac Catheterization involves removing plaque from the arteries

What is the goal of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention?

• To close off coronary arteries

• To open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries

• To reduce cholesterol levels

• To increase blood flow to the heart

What are the potential risks associated with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery?

• Allergic reaction, Infection, bleeding, blood clots, kidney problems, stroke, death

• Nausea and vomiting Infection, bleeding, blood clots, heart rhythm problems, kidney problems

• Infection, bleeding, blood clots, heart rhythm problems, kidney problems, stroke, memory loss

• Infection, bleeding, blood clots, heart rhythm problems, kidney problems, stroke, death

How does Coronary Angioplasty help improve blood flow in the heart?

• By reducing blood flow to the heart

• By widening the blocked artery in the heart, improving blood flow & restoring circulation to the heart muscle.

• By causing further blockages in the arteries

• By increasing cholesterol levels in the arteries

What are the common indications for needing a Permanent Pacemaker?

• Symptomatic bradycardia, complete heart block, sick sinus syndrome, and certain types of heart failure.

• Symptomatic bradycardia, complete heart block, sick sinus syndrome and high blood pressure

• Symptomatic bradycardia, complete heart block, sick sinus syndrome, and coronary artery disease

• Symptomatic bradycardia, complete heart block, sick sinus syndrome, and atrial fibrillation

What are the main uses of Cardiac Catheterization in diagnosing heart conditions?

• Taking X-rays, performing ultrasounds, analyzing blood samples

• Performing surgery, prescribing medication, conducting physical therapy

• Measuring blood flow, pressure, and oxygen levels, collecting blood samples, injecting contrast dye for imaging

• Administering vaccines, monitoring blood pressure, conducting genetic testing

What are the advantages of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention over traditional bypass surgery?

• Higher risk of infection

• Less invasive, quicker recovery time, no open-heart surgery required

• Requires longer hospital stay

• More expensive
