A

SA node is blocked from atrium and no P wave occurs. AV node takes over as pacemaker

Q

Secondary heart block?

A

Conduuction through AV node is slowed enough to increase PR interval and not cause a QRS complex. Dropped beat.

Q

Most serious arrythmia?

A

V. Fib, uncoordinated contractions of the ventricles resulting in no blood being pumped out.
Strong high voltages can throw back into sinus rythm

Q

What happens to blood flow into ventricle during A. fib?

A

Blood flows passively into the ventricle, the amount of blood is decreased by 20-30%.

Q

What causes negative interstitial fluid pressure?

A

Pumping of the lymphatic system, when fluid enters terminal lymphatic capillaries lymph vessel walls automatically contract to pump fluid into blood circulation

Q

Lymph from the left side of head arm chest lower body enters where?

A

Thoracic duct

17
Q

Increase in volume pressure and lymph flow favors movement of lymph into or out of interstitium?

18
Q

What two factors determine lymph flow?

A

interstitial fluid pressure and activity of lymphatic pumps

19
Q

Left coronary artery supplies the ___ and ___ lateral portions of the ___.

A

Anterior left LV

20
Q

Right coronary artery supplies the __ and the __ part of __.

A

Right ventricle, Posterior, Left ventricle

21
Q

What happens to coronary capillary blood flow in LV during systole?

A

It falls because they are being squeezed by the contracting muscle cutting off blow flow

22
Q

What happens during diastole to coronary capillaries

A

They have rapid blood flow because the muscle is no longer obstructing flow

23
Q

What causes Ischemic heart disease?

A

Atherosclerosis

24
Q

What is the most common type of heart disease and what causes it?

A

Ischemic heart disease caused from insufficient coronary blood flow

25
What causes death after a MI?
Decreased Cardiac output Pooling of blood in pulmonary vessels Fibrilation Rupturing
26
Vfib is most likely to occur after an MI at what intervals?
First ten minutes after MI and One hour after the first ten minutes
