Mod 3

Question 1

Pain upon exercising that dissipates during rest

Answer 1

Stable Angina

Question 2

Young athlete dies after exerting force and exercise for short periods of time

Answer 2

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Question 3

Atrial Fibrillation

Answer 3

An abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Often it starts as brief periods of abnormal beating which become longer and possibly constant over time.

Absent P waves on an EKG

Question 4

Pericardial Knock

Answer 4

Found in Constrictive Pericarditis

Question 5

Right Side Heart Failure

Answer 5

Peripheral congestion & edema

Question 6

Left Side Heart Failure

Answer 6

Pulmonary congestion and suffocation

Question 7

Pulsus Paradoxus

Answer 7

Paradoxic pulse or paradoxical pulse, is an abnormally large decrease in stroke volume, systolic blood pressure and pulse wave amplitude during inspiration. The normal fall in pressure is less than 10 mmHg. When the drop is more than 10 mmHg, it is referred to as pulsus paradoxus.

Question 8

Jugular Venous Distention

Answer 8

Obstructed SVC

Question 9

Mitral Valve

MV Regurgitation

Answer 9

B/W left atrium and left ventricle.

Leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve each time the ventricle contracts. Allow blood to flow in 2 directions during the contraction.

Question 10

Cardiac Tamponade

Answer 10

Cardiac tamponade is a clinical syndrome caused by the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space, resulting in reduced ventricular filling and subsequent hemodynamic compromise. The condition is a medical emergency, the complications of which include pulmonary edema, shock, and death.

• Tachycardia, JVD, hypotension, pulsus > 10 mmHG
• Diastolic collapse of right-sides chambers

Question 11

Pericarditis

Answer 11

Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium (the fibrous sac surrounding the heart). Symptoms typically include sudden onset of sharp chest pain. The pain may also be felt in the shoulders, neck, or back. It is typically better sitting up and worse when lying down or breathing deeply.

Question 12

Constrictive Pericarditis

Answer 12

Dyspnea, fatigue, JVD, edema, neck veins (Kussmaul’s sign), pericardial knock

• Caused by: cardiac surgery, viral infection, acute pericarditis, RA, CTD

Question 13

Bradycardia

Answer 13

Problems with the sinoatrial (SA) node, sometimes called the heart’s natural pacemaker. Problems in the conduction pathways of the heart that don’t allow electrical impulses to pass properly from the atria to the ventricles. … Damage to the heart from heart disease or heart attack.

Question 14

Tachycardia

Answer 14

Damage to heart tissues from heart disease.

Abnormal electrical pathways in the heart present at birth (congenital heart conditions, including long QT syndrome)
Disease or congenital abnormality of the heart.
Anemia.
Exercise.
Sudden stress, such as fright.
High or low blood pressure.
Smoking.

Atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation

Question 15

Supplies the L atrium and left ventricle

Answer 15

Left Circumflex Artery

Question 16

Supplies the R Ventricle, L Ventricle and inter ventricular septum

Answer 16

Left Anterior Descending Artery

Question 17

Supplies the L Ventricle

Answer 17

Left Marginal Artery

Question 18

Supplies the R ventricle and the apex

Answer 18

Right Marginal Artery

Question 19

Supplies the R atrium and R ventricle

Answer 19

Right Coronary Artery

Question 20

Lub Heart Sound

Answer 20

The “ lub” is the first heart sound, commonly termed S1, and is caused by turbulence caused by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valves at the start of systole.

Question 21

Dub Heart Sound

Answer 21

The second sound,” dub” or S2, is caused by the closure of aortic and pulmonic valves, marking the end of systole.
