A

60-100 bpm

35
Q

normal AV node rate?

A

40-60 bpm

36
Q

normal ventricle heart rate?

A

20-40 bpm

37
Q

Describe normal conduction in 3 steps:

A
  1. Electrical impulse starts in sinoatrial node (SA)
  2. Travels to atrioventricular node (AV)
  3. Proceeds through left & right bundle branches of the Purkinje fibers
38
Q

What are 3 Parasympathetic Neurohormonal Influences on Cardiac Function?

A
  1. Reduces HR
  2. Decrease speed of conduction thru AV node
  3. Decrease force of atrial contraction
39
Q

What are 2 Sympathetic Neurohormonal Influences on Cardiac Function?

A
  1. Myocardium: increases contractility (inotropy)

2. Sinus node: increases rate of contraction (chronotropy)

40
Q

P wave (or PR interval) corresponds to:

A

atrial depolarization (contract)

41
Q

QRS complex corresponds to:

A
ventricular depolarization (contraction)
atria repolarize
42
Q

T wave (or ST segment) corresponds to:

A

ventricular repolarization (relaxation)

43
Q

QT interval corresponds to:

A

ventricular depolarization and repolization

44
Q

ST elevation/depression

A

the segment above or below the isokinetic line (only visible from 12 lead EKG)

45
Q

Name the parasympathetic cardiac receptor(s):

A

PNS Receptors

  1. SA node
  2. atrial muscle
  3. AV node
46
Q

Name the sympathetic cardiac receptor(s) and example of neurohormones involved:

A

SNS: Beta 1 adrenergic receptors

Eg epinephrine and norepinephrine

47
Q

What is inotropy?

A

increased contractility (due to SNS stimulation of myocardium)

48
Q

<p>

| What is chrontropy?</p>

A

<p>

| increased rate of contraction (due to SNS stimulation of sinus node)</p>
