medication to strengthen heart muscle, lower blood pressure, and remove extra fluid

if left untreated it is fatal
surgeries do not cure syndrome but help restore heart function

96
Q

direct methood

indirect method

97
Q

indirect method of measuring blood pressure

Q

Indirect method of measure blood pressure is also known as

A

auscultatory method

99
Q

Instrument used to apply pressure to the artery in indirect measurement of blood pressure

A

sphygmomanometer

100
Q

Human blood pressure is most commonly measured here

A

in the brachial artery of the upper arm

101
Q

Why is the brachial artery use to measure blood pressure

A

same level as the heart so pressures are close to the pressure in the aorta leaving the heart

102
Q

The cold pressor test is used to demonstrate this

A

the effect of sensory stimulus (cold) on blood pressure

103
Q

The normal reflex response to a cold stimulus is this on blood pressure

A

increase in blood pressure (10 mmHg systolic)

104
Q

The highest blood pressure occurs at this point

A

when the ventricle contracts forcing blood into the artery

105
Q

The lowest blood pressure occurs at this point

A

when the heart is in its relaxation phase and no blood is flowing through the semilunar valves

106
Q

The dicrotic notch results when this occurs

A

the aortic semilunar valves close causing the blood in the aorta to rebound against the arterial walls to produce a slight elevation in pressure

107
Q

ECG stands for

A

electrocardiogram

108
Q

This is first rubbed on the skin to remove oil and dead cells this increase conduction

A

electrolyte jelly (NaCl or KCl)
