Where would you place a stethoscope to hear the closure of tricuspid valve
by the right 5th rib
Where would you place a stethoscope to hear the closure of the aortic valve
2nd and 3rd rib
Where would you place a stethoscope to hear mitral valve closing
5th rib on left
Is the volume the same between the atria and ventricles why or why nor
volume is not the same b/c atria push blood to ventricles and ventricles are bigger
what is the purpose of the chordae tendinae and papillary muscles
end systolic position of AV
An increase in P-R is
an AV node block
An increase in QRS complex is what
bundle branch block
An increase in Q-T interval is
out of phase ventricular contraction
what does an increase in venous blood flow cause
fast ECG
Einthovens law
deflection in 1 lead can be predicted from the deflections of the other 2
