Q

MVP - is “click” closest to S1 or S2:
Increased preload
Decreased preload
Anxious

A

S2, S1, S1

click happens when at a certain LV volume (more blood means more time before it hits that level of empty). Anxiety increases HR, decreasing preload.

A

long PR vs increasing PR until dropped P vs Randomly dropped QRS vs random P and QRS complexes

27
Q

Increased BaroR caused by? leads to?
