Q

Discuss the significance of normal blood pressure and hypertension

A

Hypertension is right now is not problem, but 20 to 30 years you may have good canditate for MI

a strained heart weakens and tends to enlarge.
Increased blood pressure also scars and hardens the arteries, making them less elastic
Hypertension usually has: no early warning signs; Blood pressure checked at least once every two years.
If blood pressure is too high, then you can lower it through: diet, weight management, exercise and if necessary with medication.

Used to assess heart’s ability to conduct impulses as quantitively and qualitively.

Q

ECG: PURPOSE

A
  1. Use of ECG is to determine HR
  2. Arrhythmias (rhythm) ectopic (non-sinus) beats
  3. Heart disease (Myocardial Ischemia and Infarction)
  4. Chamber Hypertrophy (Hypertension vs. Left Ventricular Hypertrophy with Training)
  5. Conduction
28
Q

Describe the electrical conduction system in the heart.

A

The signals move slowly through a small mass in the atria, creating a small, round, upright wave (P wave) representing atrial depolarization. The signals move rapidly through a large mass in the ventricles, creating a large, upright spike (R wave) representing ventricular depolarization. The final large, rounded upright wave (T wave) represents ventricular repolarization.
