A

Tough fibrous double walled sac that surrounds and protects the heart. It has two layers that contain a few milliliters of a serous pericardial fluid does ensure a smooth friction free movement of the heart muscle

P-R interval
From beginning of P wave to beginning of QRS complex (Time necessary for atria depolarization plus time for impulse to travel through AV node to ventricles)
26
QRS complex
Depolarization of ventricles
27
T wave
Repolarization of ventricles
28
How do you calculate cardiac output?
Cardiac output equals volume of blood in each systole or stroke volume times the number of beats per minute
29
What are some hemodynamic changes with aging? | 
Overall size of heart does not increase with age but left ventricular wall in thickness increases No change in Diastolic pressure occurs with age A rising systolic pressure with a relatively constant diastolic pressure increases pulse pressure No change in resting heart rate occurs with aging Cardiac output at rest is not changed with aging Decreased ability of hard to augment cardiac output with exercise
30
Does the incident of coronary artery disease increase or decrease sharply with advanced age
Increases and accounts for about half of all deaths in older people
31
An increase in physical activity of older adults is associated with reduced risks of death from what?
Cardiovascular disease and respiratory illness
32
What are five major risk factors for heart disease and stroke
Hypertension, smoking, serum cholesterol, type two diabetes, obesity
33
For a person middle age or older who is showing signs of cardiovascular disease auscultate each carotid artery for the presence of bruit. How do you perform this?
Lately apply Bell of stethoscope over carotid arteries at three levels The angle of the jaw, mid cervical area, base of neck,
34
How to estimate jugular venous pressure
35
Precordium
Auscultation Sound radiates with blood flow direction valves areas are: Second right into space is the aortic valve area Second left interspace: Pomonic valve area Third left interspace: Erb’s point Left lower sternal border: tricuspid valve area Fifth interspace at around left midclsvicular line: mitral valve area
36
Grade 1 murmur
Very faint, heard only after listener has tune in
37
Grade 2 murmur
Quiet but hurt immediately after placing the stethoscope on the chest
38
Grade 3 murmur
Moderately loud
39
Grade 4 murmur
Loud, with palpable thrill
40
Grade 5 murmur
Very loud, with thrill. May be heard when the stethoscope is partially off the chest
41
Grade 6 murmur
Very loud with thrill. May be heard with stethoscope entirely off the chest
42

43
S3 and S4 heart sounds
44

47
+3 pitting edema
Deep pitting, indentation remains, legs look swollen.
48
+4 pitting edema
Very deep pitting, indentation lasts a long time, leg very swollen.
49
Manual compression test of varicose veins
While person is standing, test length of varicose being to determine whether its valves are competent then place one hand on lower part of varicose vein and compressed being with your other hand about 20 cm higher competent means present a wave transmission and your distal lower fingers will feel no change

Apical and mitral area
51
Second heart sound is heard loudest at the ??
Base of the heart

S4 can indicate
Hypertrophy

61
Blumberg sign
Rebound tenderness, sign of peritoneal inflammation, present if the patient experiences sharp discomfort over the inflamed site when pressure is released
62
Murphy’s sign
Inspiratory arrest, pain is present on deep inspiration when an inflamed gallbladder is palpated by pressing the fingers under the rib cage. Positive for cholecystitis
63
Iliopsoas muscle test
Lift the supply in patient’s right leg straight up flexing at the hip then push down over the lower part of the right thigh as the person tries to hold the leg up. Positive for pain with appendicitis
64
Obturator test
Lift a supply in patient’s right leg, flexing at the hip and 90° at the knee. Hold the ankle and rotate the leg internally and externally pain is a listed with appendicitis
