Cardiac Flashcards
What is the sinus tachycardia formula?
The formula for maximal sinus rate is 220 - age= Classification Physiological sinus tachycardia. anything above this rate is SVT
What is the normal cardiac output?
4-8 PLM
Normal ranges for the SA node?
Normal ranges for the AV junction?
Normal ranges for the Purkinje fibers?
SA node = 60-100
AV junction = 40-60
Purkinje fibers= 15-40
EKG Cardiac Cycle.
Depolarization of the Atria?
Delay at the AV node to allow filling of the ventricle?
depolarization of the ventricles?
beginning of ventricle repolarizing?
repolarizing of the ventricles?
P wave
PR interval
Q, R, S complex
ST Segment
T wave
SVR Formula
[ (MAP-CVP)÷CO]X80
Where and what is the J point in reference to EKG?
The J (junction) point in the ECG is the point where the QRS complex joins the ST segment. It represents the approximate end of depolarization and the beginning of repolarization as determined by the surface ECG.
In reference to EKG timing.
1 large box vertically is _______mm?
1 small box is _______mm?
5mm vertical
1 mm
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the?
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right ventricle and atrium of the heart as well as sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes.
What is an OMI? Pertaining to cardiac
Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (OMI): A branch of the ACS algorithm representing near or total occlusion with insufficient collateral circulation causing active infarction Non-Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (NOMI): No occlusion, or sufficient collateral circulation to avoid active infarction
OMI location and artery in Leads
leads II III aVF =
I II aVF= Inferior RCA supplies blood to the SA, AV node, and right ventricle in 90% of the population.
OMI location and artery in Leads
VI V2 V3 V4
Anterior,Left main/ LAD supplies blood to the entire left side
OMI location and artery in Leads
I aVL V5 V6
I and aVL= high lateral/LCX feeds high lateral wall
V5 V6= LCX/ left marginal left diagonal. feeds the low lateral wall.
OMI location and artery in Leads
aVR
Left main insufficiency
Characteristics of a physiologic q wave
< 0.4 sec in with
< 2mm in depth
< 25% of R wave height
Physiological q wave is normal
Characteristics of a pathologic q wave
> 0.04
2mm in depth
25% of R wave
Indicates an old MI scarring does not allow electrical impulse so there is a delay
What are the ECG contiguous leads?
.Contiguous leads refers to leads that direct neighbors and reflect the same anatomical area; such as anterior leads (V1–V6), inferior leads (II, aVF, III) and lateral leads (I, aVL). For example, leads V3 and V4 are contiguous; V1 and V2 are also contiguous; aVL and I are also contiguous; V3 and V5 are not contiguous]
what are reciprocal leads?
Reciprocal change is a very important ECG finding, not only supporting the diagnosis of STEMI but also indicating a high-risk patient. Reciprocal change is defined as ST-segment depression occurring on an ECG which also has ST-segment elevation in at least 2 leads in a single anatomic segment.
In a 12 lead, the first lead you look at is?
What are you looking for?
V1 you are looking for a BBB is QRS< .12 or 120 Ms
aVL and lead III are _______ of each other
when ST elevation is in lead aVL look at lead III for reciprocal changes in opposite deflection
Recipical changes can only be seen on the ________wall and _________wall
High lateral wall I and aVL an inferior wall II III aVF
Will pericarditis show reciprocal changes on an EKG?
No there will be global STE and no reciprocal changes on the EKG this is a STEMI imposter
