Chapter 5 Cardiology Flashcards
What is the most common location on the body to take a pulse?
Radial
Acute Coronary syndrome
Endocardium is NOT affected by acute coronary syndrome.
Tricuspid
Heart valve between the right atrium and right ventricle
What blood test does NOT help diagnose a myocardial infarction (MI)
Lipid profile
Which procedure is done to provide the myocardium with a new source of blood supply when a coronary artery is occluded?
Coronary artery bypass graft
Congestive heart failure (chf) (all)
Inability of the heart to pump sufficient amounts of blood.
How do you read a sphygmomanometer?
Pump to cuff to 180mmhg, release the cuff slowly, the first knock is systolic pressure when the knock disappears its the diastolic pressure (120/80)
What is regurgitation?
Blood flows back in to the left atrium with each contraction.
Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs and enters the heart in?
Left atrium.
When the coronary artery is partially blocked with atherosclerosis there is myocardial ischemia, this will cause?
Angina perctosis
Sclerotherapy
Procedure in which a sclerosing drug (liquid or foam) is injected in a varicose vein
Defibrillation
Ventricle defibrillation
Pericarditis
Cardiac tamponade
3rd degree heart block
Complete heart block.
Rheumatic heart disease
Vegatation stenosis
Drug treatment for left sides heart failure
2 types of diuretic drug and a drug to strengthen the heart
Anueurysmectomy
Surgical removal of a large aneurysm and replacement with synthetic tubular graft
Mitral valve
Is located between left atrium and left ventricle
SA node
Pacemaker
Peripheral artery disease
Intermittent claudication
Which section of the electrical conduction system. Of the heart is located just after the AV node?
Bundle is his
Sick sinus syndrome
Permanent pacemaker
Right sided heart failure
Jugular vein adema
Drugs that break up blood
Thrombotic
