vasodialates
87
what is a myocardial infarction?
death of an area of the myocardium due to interruption of blood supply
88
What happens during a myocardial infarction?
the normal contractile muscle dies and is replaced by scar tissue that does not contract
89
What is the most common cause of a myocardial infarction?
thrombus formation in the coronary artery
90
The impulses to contract the heart are controlled by
the nervous system
91
Cardiac excitation begins in the
sinoatrial node
92
where is the sinoatrial node located
in the wall of the right atrium
93
Each impulse or action potential travels through both
atria and cause them to contract
94
The impulse moves from the SA node to the
atrioventricular node
95
where is the atriventricular node located
the superior portion of the interventricular septum
96
From the atriventricular node, the impulse goes to
the bundle of his
97
From the bundle of his, the impulse travels to
the right and left branch bundles within the interventricular septum
98
From the left and right branch bundles, the impulse travels
to the purkinje fibers
99
The purkinje fibers take the impulse
to the myocardium of the ventricles and cause them to contract
100
What is the pacemaker of the heart?
the sinoatrial node
101
What is an ectopic pacemaker?
when a site other than the SA node becomes the pacemaker
102
What happens when there is an ectopic pacemaker?
irregular beats of the heart

autorhythmic
106

108
What is an EKG?
a recording of the electrical activity of the heart
109
what does the P wave measure?
atrial depolarization
110

114
what is ventricular repolarization?
relaxation of ventricles
115
Why can't you see the atria relaxing on an EKG?
because it is hidden by the large QRS complex
116

the conduction time from the beginning of atrial excitation to the beginning of ventricular excitation
117
What would cause the P-Q interval to be longer than normal?
coronary heart disease and rheumatic fever causing scar tissue
118
what is the Q-T interval?
the beginning of ventricular depolarization to the end of ventricular repolarization

heart rate over 100 beats per minute
122
what is bradycardia?
heart rate under 60 bpm
123
What is a normal heart rate?
75 bpm
124
One heartbeat is considered to be
1 cardiac cycle
125
In each cardiac cycle, pressure changes occur
within the chambers as the atria and ventricles contract and relax
126
The blood in the heart flows from
an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure
127
What is a silent heart attack?
when a patient didn't know they have had a heart attack
128
The two atria will contract while
the 2 ventricles relax
129
the two ventricles contract while
the two atria relax
130
what is a systole?
phase of contraction
131
what is a diastole?
phase of relaxtion
132
During an atrial systole,
the cuspid valves open allowing blood into the relaxed ventricles
133
After an atrial systole, the ventricles have a systole where
the cuspid valves are closed and the semilunar valves open. The blood is then pushed to the lungs from the right ventricle and to the body by the left ventricle
134
A cardiac cycle consists of
a systole and a diastole from both atria and both ventricles
135
what are the two heart sounds?
lubb | dupp
136
what is a lubb
the sound of the blood when the AV valves close
137
what is a dupp?
sound of the blood when the semilunar valves close
138
What is a heart murmur?
abnormal sound heard before or after the lubb-dupp
139
What causes a heart murmur?
a valve not closing completely or abnormal valve anatomy
140
A heart murmur is not necessarily a
pathology
