21
Q

3 major components of a healthy ECG

A

P wave
QRS complex
T wave

22
Q

Atrial depolarization

A

P wave

23
Q

Ventricular depolarization

A

QRS complex

24
Q

What occurs at the same time

A

Atrial repolarization

25
Q

Ventricular repolarization

A

T wave

26
Q

ECG ________ and _______ are regions between waves

A

Segments and intervals

27
Q

From beginning of P wave to begining of QRS complex

A

PR interval

28
Q

What does a delay in the PR interval indicate

A

Heart block

29
Q

Elevation of __________ Indicates a heart attack

A

ST segment

30
Q

Period of time and set events that occur during one complete beat of the heart

A

Cardiac cycle

31
Q

Contraction

A

Systole

32
Q

Relaxation

A

Diastole

33
Q

What is the 5 stages of the cardiac cycle

A

Total diastole
Atrial systole
Early ventricular systole
Late ventricular systole
Early ventricular diastole

34
Q

-Myocardium is completely relaxed
-blood passively fills chambers of the heart
-AV valves open and SL valves are closed

A

Total diastole

35
Q

-Contraction of atrial adds blood to ventricular volume
-130ml
-AV valves are open and SL valves are closed
-aortic pressure decreases as blood flows into systemic circuit

A

Atrial systole

36
Q

-Refered to as isovolumetric contraction phase
-ventricles contract and ventricular pressure increases
-AV valves close and produce S1 heart sound
-since all 4 valves are closed there is no change in ventricular volume

A

Early ventricular systole

37
Q

-Ventricular ejection phase
-ventricular pressure increases as SL valves open; AV valves remain closed
-blood is ejected into pulmonary trunk and aorta
-atria is relaxed

A

Late ventricular systole

38
Q

-The second phase of ventricular diastole
-ventricles continue to relax and pressure decreases
-When ventricular pressure decreases lower than atrial pressure AV valves opeen

A

Late ventricular diastole

39
Q

Normal heart sounds are produced by the closure of ___________ or __________

A

atrioventricular valves or semilunar valves

40
Q

First heart sound is produced by

A

AV valves

41
Q

Second heart sound is produced by

A

SL valves

42
Q

Illustrates the pressure within the atria, ventricles and aorta during the cardiac cycle

A

Wiggers diagram

43
Q

The amount of blood ejected by each ventricle per minute

A

Cardiac output

44
Q

Average Cardiac output of an adult

A

5L/min

45
Q

Both ______ and _______ can be regulated to control cardiac output

A

Heart rate and stroke rate

46
Q

Only part of the end of diastolic volume EDV is ejected

A

Ejection Fraction
