the QRS wave is

Answer 10

ventricular contraction

the T wave is

Answer 11

rest/refill

Question 12

most common causes of PVCs

Answer 17

a heart disease that impairs diastolic filling and stretch

Question 18

rhythm with a rate >151 and P wave crashes into T wave is…

Answer 18

SVT

Question 19

chaotic appearing ventricular rhythm is…

Answer 19

v fib

Question 20

left ventricle HF can lead to…

Answer 20

right sided heart failure, hypertrophy, and dilation

Question 21

Aschoffs bodies and strep A are specific to this heart disease

Answer 21

rheumatic fever/ rheumatic heart disease

Question 22

Compensatory mechanisms for heart failure

Answer 22

RAAS system, hypertrophy, dilation

Question 23

what heart disease has diffuse inflammation that leads to ventricular dilation?

Answer 23

dilated cardiomyopathy

Question 24

what is a genetic heart disease, where early detection is key?

Answer 24

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Question 25

HFrEF (pathophys)

Answer 25

ventricular systolic defect/LV contraction failure → dilation and hypertrophy → decreased EF =heart failure with reduced ejection fraction=systolic heart failure

Question 26

HRpEF (pathophys)

Answer 26

ventricular diastolic defect/defective filling → high filling pressure due to non compliant LV → decreased filling → decreased volume → decreased SV → decreased CO → fluid congestion can be due to hypertension =heart failure with preserved ejection fraction=diastolic heart failure
