Q

ECG

A
  1. Atria begin depolarizing (P wave)
  2. Atrial depolarization complete
  3. Ventricular depolarization begins at apex and progresses superiorly as atria repolarize (QR waves)
  4. Ventricular depolarization complete (S wave)
  5. Ventricular repolarization begins at apex and progresses superiorly (T wave)
  6. Ventricular repolarization is complete, heart is ready for the next cycle

Q

Factors Affecting Stroke Volume

A

Preload: INCREASES
Contractility: INCREASES
Afterload: DECREASES

17
Q

Systolic Pressure

A

Peak arterial BP attained during ventricular contraction

Atrial relaxation occurs during systole

18
Q

Diastolic Pressure

A

Minimum arterial BP occurring during the ventricular relaxation between heartbeats
Ventricular relaxation, atrial relaxation, atrial contraction
