Q

Korotkoff 1st sound

A
  1. Snapping sound first heard at the systolic pressure. Clear tapping, repetitive sounds for at least two consecutive beats is considered the systolic pressure.

Q

Korotkoff 5th sound

A

sound is silence as the cuff pressure drops below the diastolic blood pressure. The disappearance of sound is considered diastolic blood pressure – two mm Hg above the last sound heard.

24
Q

gallop rhythm

A

3rd heart sound due to rapid ventricle filling; blood rushing into ventricle

25
Q

atrial gallop

A

4th heart sound heard when there is increased ventricle resistance to atrial filling

26
Q

friction rub

A

extra cardiac sound, also; rubbing together of inflamed viscera

extra cardiac sound, also; rubbing together of inflamed viscera

extra cardiac sound, also; rubbing together of inflamed viscera

extra cardiac sound, also; rubbing together of inflamed viscera Fibro pirulent exudate

27
Q

EKG

A

noninvasive way to gain info about electrical activity of heart and

28
Q

P Wave

A

atrial depolarization

29
Q

Wide Pwave

A

hypertrophy of the muscle so depolarization is taking longer (contracting)

30
Q

Inverted P wave

A

impulse is not starting at the SA node, look for a slower HR as well

31
Q

P-R Interval

A

Transmission of impulse thru atria, naturally slowed at the AV node; determines Heart Block; NORMAL 0.1-0.2

32
Q

1st degree heart block

A

longer than normal p-r interval (0.1-0.2)

0.4 seconds

33
Q

2nd &3rd degree heart block

A

longer time to get through to SA node. 3rd degree completly blocked impulse not getting to SA node

34
Q

Longer/wider PR interval

A

Heart block is occurring, block of conduction not physical block. Length corresponds to what degree of heart block

35
Q

QRS complex

A

Ventricle depolarization

36
Q

QRS wider

A

hypertrophy of the muscle so depolarization takes longer

37
Q

QRS Double

A

ventricles not synchronized; bundle branch block in one ventricle

38
Q

ST Segment

A

Time btw depolarization and repolarizing; isoelectric

39
Q

Depressed ST segment

A

myocardial ischemia

40
Q

elevated st segment

A

Myocardial infarction

41
Q

T wave

A

ventricle repolarization

42
Q

Twave inverted

A

ischemia; pt needs oxygen

43
Q

Twave flattened

A

Hypervolemia less K+

44
Q

spiked T wave

A

ventricle is repolarizing more quickly; correlated with INCREASED K+ HYPERKALEMIA

45
Q

4 Determinants of Myocardial Oxygen demand

A

Rate, Force, Muscle Mass, Ventricle Wall Tension

46
Q

Rate

A

greater HR, greater demand O2

47
Q

Force

A

more forcefully contracted, the more O2 it needs

48
Q

Muscle Mass

A

more muscle; more O2 it needs

49
Q

Ventricle Wall Tension

A

more tension muscle exerts the more O2 it requires

50
Q

Cardiac Ischemia

A

demand of oxygen is greater than supply

51
Q

MI affects which ventricle

A

Left

52
Q

Coronary atherosclerosis most likely to develop where?

A

hardening of the arteries ususally not in straightaway happens where vessles curve or branch

53
Q

Explain the development of Atherosceirotic lesions

A

caused by lipid and fibrous calcium deposited in the vessels; slowly narrows the vessels; vessel loses ability to dilate in order to increase O2 supply in Left Ventricle for this tissue

54
Q

4 Risk factors for Coronary artherosclerosis

A

Age, Race (African American), Family(runs in family may be d/t environment), Sex (F: immune before menopause- after menopause >risk than males. Younger female w/ CAD more likely to die

55
Q

1 symptom for pre-memopause women for CAD

A

Nausea

56
Q

Other risk factors for CAD

A

hyperlipidemia(cholesterol & triglycerides

57
Q

VLDL to CAD

A

very low density lipoproteins – little bit of protein and whole lot of triglyceride); triglycerides unclear how they give increase for coronary artery disease

58
Q

LDL to CAD

A

Lots of Cholesterol & little protien High LDL=High Risk for CAD

59
Q

HDL to CAD

A

Litlle Cholesterol and lots of protien; High HDL=No CAD or little risk
