Lesson 7 Flashcards
implantable cardioverter defibrillator
surgically placed
enter right wide of the heart
left ventricle is reached through the coronary sinus
stick like line before QRS
sa/av node isn’t firing
wide QRS means
no AV node
demand pacemakers
pacemaker fires only on demand only when needed
hyperkalemia
starts with huge peaked t wave
acidosis
slows conduction
hypokalemia
u wave
alkaline
hypothermia
under 32C
J wave
dilated cardiomyopathy
heart failure
1/3 genetic
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
thick myocardium blocking blood flow
most common cardio myopathy
dilated
heart chambers stretch resulting in heart failure
dilated cardio myopathy causes
genetics CAD diabetes alcohol abuse pregnancy complications
dilated cardio myopathy ages
20-60
hypertrophic cardio myopathy
myocardial cells grow and block blood flow
hypertrophic cardio myopathy causes
genetics
hypertension
diabetes
restrictive cardiomyopathy
ventricles become rigid and cause abnormal diastole
