Q

Which answer best describes the blood flow through a valve experiencing stenosis

A

Fast squirting: like your finger on a garden hose

18
Q

Which heart valve usually experiences insufficiency?

A

Bicuspid

19
Q

What are used in trans catheter procedures

A

Brachial, Femoral

20
Q

Rheumatic fever affects this area of the heart:

A

Aortic SL & Bicuspid valve

21
Q

What happens to the blood flow in a person experiencing Afib?

A

Blood flow slows & remains in an atrium

22
Q

What can result from the blood flow slowing & remaining in an atria during Afib?

A

A blood clot can form

23
Q

If a blood clot forms from Afib, & travels to the coronary arteries of the heart, this could occur:

A

Myocardial infarction (heart attack

24
Q

Name the condition that occurs if a blood clot travels to the brain and restricts the blood flow.

A

Ischemic stroke

25
Q

A myocardial infraction occurs due to a blockage in this part of the heart:

A

Coronary Arteries

26
Q

How does nicotine in cigarettes increase the risk of a heart attack?

A

Shrink/constrict the coronary arteries

27
Q

Why is HDL considered “good” cholesterol?

A

Takes LDL back to the liver to get processed & removed

28
Q

This type of circulation travels from the heart to the lungs, and which side of the heart does it involve?

A

Pulmonary, right side

29
Q

This type of circulation travels from the heart to the body (systems), and which side of the heart does it involve?

A

Systemic, left

30
Q

Which of the major coronary arteries is called the “widow maker” (Labeling Notes p. 2)

A

Anterior descending artery

31
Q

Where is the circumflex coronary artery located?

A

Around the left atrium

32
Q

This type of pacemaker occurs when other areas besides the SA Node want to start the heart beat:

A

Ectopic pacemaker

33
Q

This term means “an irregular heart beat”

A

Arrhythmia

34
Q

This type of arrhythmia means the heart is beating too slow:

A

Bradycardia

35
Q

An artificial pacemaker would be inserted if the following structures are damaged. (select 2)

A

SA and AV node

36
Q

On an EKG, the p-wave can evaluate the following

A

The health of the atria, The SA node has started the electrical route

37
Q

After the P-wave the blood flows from:

A

Atria to ventricles

38
Q

This part of an EKG Lead 2 Record will tell your the health and electrical flow through the ventricle

A

QRS

39
Q

After the QRS series, the blood flows from:

A

Ventricles to SL valves

40
Q

The t-wave tells you:

A

Ventricles are relaxing
