Gugmang Gi-Atay Flashcards
Generates the highest impulse?
SA Node
Only procedure to MEASURE cardiac FUNCTION?
2D Echo
Graphic recording of electrical potential generated by the heart?
ECG
3 components that produce electric currents, initiating cardiac contraction?
- Cardiac pacemaker cells
- Specialized conductive tissue
- Heart muscles
SA Node location?
Upper Posterior Wall of Right Atrium
Located between the Atrium and Ventricles
AV Node
Phases of cardiac electric activation where P WAVE is seen?
Atrial Contraction
Rapid Upstroke
Phase 0
Phase that corresponds to QRS complex
Phase 0
Depolarization
Phase 0
Plateau
Phase 2
Correspond to the ISOELECTRIC ST segment
Phase 2
Active repolarization phase
Phase 3
Correspond to the inscription of the wave
Phase 3
Allows time of the ventricles to relax
PR Interval
Prolonged PR interval
1st Degree AV Block
Lead that serves as electrical ground
Right Leg
Right Ventricles is assess and shows mirror image?
V3R
V4R
Major blood supply of the heart?
Left Anterior Descending (LAD) Artery
Most common site of blood clot in the heart?
Left Anterior Descending (LAD) Artery
Right Coronary Artery Supplies:
Posterior Wall
Right Ventricles
SA Node
Use clenched fist over the sternum describing an Angina
Levine’s Sign
Bradycardia + Hypotension
Bezold Jarisch Reflex
Bezold Jarisch Reflex associated with
Right Ventricular Infarct
Posterior Wall Infarct
Morphine is contraindicated
Bezold Jarisch Reflex
Tachycardia + Hypertension during ana acute MI
James Reflex
Morphine is indicated
James Reflex
James Reflex seen in
Anterior Wall MI
Depolarization of atria in response to SA node triggering
P waves
Allowing ventricular FILLINGS
PR Interval
Ventricular Depolarization
QRS complex
Triggers main pumping contraction
QRS Complex
Beginning of Ventricular Repolarizarion, should be FLAT
ST Segment
Ventricular Repolarization
T Wave
PR Interval normal value
0.12 - 0.20
QT Interval normal values
Males: = 0.45 Females: = 0.47
Absence of P Waves
Atrial Fibrillation
Always SINUS RHYTHM
Presence of P Wave
Biphasic or Inverted P Wave
Left Atrial Enlargement
Will develop LVH and/or Hypertension
Left Atrial Enlargement
New onset of LBBB
Myocardial Infarction
