Q

When diastolic blood pressure increases (e.g., heart failure),

A

Q

thrills

A

Abnormal vibration possibly do to a valve disorder

38
Q

What side of the stethoscope is best for s1 and s2? and why? s3 and s4?

Q

What are the two heart dysrhythmias we need to call a code on

A

Ventricular tachy w/o pulse and ventricular fib

42
Q

Name two more biomarkers and why

A

c reactive prot- made by liver during inflamation may indicate early MI
and homocysteine- Amino acid made during protein catabolism vit b deficiency higher risk for CAD, peripheral disease, stroke. Testing is recommended for predisposition to CAD
