SU WK 6 Differences of Hypertrophic & Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Discussion

 

I’m working on a nursing multi-part question and need a reference to help me learn.

1. What are the differences between dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy and what type of patient it might affect?

2. How would you as a nurse change your plan of treatment, tests, lab, medication, etc.? 

3. What changes might you see in their EKG tracing?  

4. What is EF or ejection fraction? How is this affected with their disease process? 

5. What is BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) what is the significance and the level?
