| Learning Activities | |
| Contrast the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease from the altered pump action of the heart. | Valvular Dysfunction |
| Analyze altered cardiovascular compliance and the resulting disease processes. | Hypertension
Peripheral Vascular Disease - Quick check of your understanding of PVD! |
Compare disease processes that result from the effects of altered blood flow. |
Congenital Heart Disease |
Describe the disease processes which
result from altered hematology. |
Leukemia & Lymphoma |
| Evaluate case study data to determine the cellular
pathophysiology of selected diseases.

Acute MI/EKG Changes
| ECG Changes | Location of injury | Coronary artery involved |
|---|---|---|
| II, III, aVF | Inferior wall (may be associated with RV injury, consider right precordial leads) | RCA or dominant distal left circumflex |
| V1-3 | Anteroseptal | LAD |
| V3-5 | Anterior wall | LAD |
| V6, I, aVL | Lateral | Marginal branch off circumflex or diagonal off LAD |
