What can be the possible directions for cardiac axis?
-30° to +110°
Btw which limbs is the potential diff measured with standard limb leads I/II/III?
I: Right and left arm,
II: Right arm and left leg
III: left arm and left leg
What is the effect of strophanine-G on the stimulus conduction in the AV node?
Delays stimulus: negative dromotropic
Draw a pulse pressurewave and name its peaks.
….
List the main steps of determining the cardiac axis
Measure R-wave in each lead,
construct vectors,
direction of integral vector is c.a.
Where epinephrine is produced
Adrenal medulla
What type acetylchlorine receptors are present in the heart?
Muscarinic Ach receptors
What type of of ionchannels does verpamil block?
Ca2+ channels
List 4 of the effects of the acetylchlorine on the heart?
Negative chronotropic
Bathmotropic
Dromotropic
Inotropic effect
Why does atropine inhibit the acetylchlorine effect on the muscarine Ach receptors?
Binds to receptor without stimulating
Describe a normal PQ segment
AP trough AV. Not enough to create detectable differences. Isoelectric line
How can the hardness of the pulse be determined?
the power needed to compress it
