Q

conduction system of heart

A

The pacemakers and gap junctions are the route for the heart muscle depolarization wave; it does not move randomly, rather it travels in an coordinated pattern with organized timing to ensure that heart works as an effective pump.

24
Q

contractility,

A

the contractile strength achieved at a given muscle length

25
Q

afterload

A

the pressure that the ventricles must overcome to eject blood

26
Q

myocardial infarction,

A

heart attack; death of area of heart muscle from lack of O2

27
Q

angina pectoris,

A

Heart pain from ischemia of cardiac muscle

28
Q

arrhythmia,

A

irregular heart rhythm

29
Q

junctional rhythm,

A

The SA node is nonfunctional, P waves are absent, and heart is paced by the AV node at 40-60 beats/min

30
Q

fibrillation,

A

condition of rapid and irregular or out of phase contractions in which control of heart rhythm is taken away from the SA node by rapid activity in other heart regions.

31
Q

heart block,

A

damage to AV node interferes with the ability of the ventricles to receive pacing impulses.

32
Q

murmurs,

A

abnormal heart sounds due to blood striking an obstruction causing it to become turbulent.

33
Q

congestive heart disease,

A

heart is an inefficient pump and blood circulation is inadequate to meet tissue needs.

34
Q

coronary artery disease,

A

fatty buildup that clogs the coronary arteries

35
Q

ventricular septal defect,

A

superior part of the inter-ventricular septum fails to form, allowing blood to mix between two ventricles.

36
Q

coarctation of the aorta,

A

a part of the aorta is narrowed

37
Q

tetraology of Fallot,

A
multiple defects
•	Pulmonary trunk too narrow and pulmonary valve stenosed
•	Hypertrophied right ventricle
•	Ventricular septal defect
•	Aorta opens from both ventricles
38
Q

tachycardia,

A

abnormally fast heartbeat (more than 100 beats/min)

39
Q

bradycardia

A

heart rate slower than 60 beats/min

40
Q
