Velocity of conduction through the AV node
What is dromotropicity?
|
Produces peptides and hormones that regulate blood pressure and cardiac function
The heart is an endocrine gland that does what?
|
Hypoxia or impairment of cellular metabolism in tissues
What is the final event observed in hypovolemic or cardiogenic shock?
|
Sodium
Which ion is responsible for depolarizing a fast response cardiac cell?
|
T wave
Which EKG tracing represents ventricular repolarization?
|
70 mmHg
If a blood pressure is measured at 160/90, what is the patient’s pulse pressure?
|
Contractile cells, Conductile cells, Authorhythmic cells
What are the cell types of the intrinsic conduction system?
|
Decrease in blood volume
In hypovolemic shock, the drop in cardiac output is caused by what?
|
AV node → Bundle of His → Bundle branches → Purkinje fibers
When pacemaker cells fire an action potential, the action potential follows what path of the heart’s conduction system (starting at AV node)?
|
QRS complex
Which EKG deflection represents ventricular depolarization?
|
Treppe effect
An increase in heart rate subsequently increases contractility of the heart, what is this occurrence known as?
|
Left - Aortic semilunar valve
Right - Pulmonary semilunar valve
Which valve prevents backflow of blood into the left ventricle? Right ventricle?
|
Passive ventricular filling
In which phase does blood flow passively through open AV valves into ventricles?
|
Calcium and Sodium
Which ions are essential for depolarizing the resting potential of a slow response cell?
|
Atrial depolarization
What does the P wave represent?
|
0.125 mmHg/mL/min
Calculate the vascular resistance of this patient. Renal blood flow = 400 mL/min, Pressure in renal artery = 60 mmHg, Pressure in renal vein = 10 mmHg
|
Intercalated discs
Cardiac muscle fibers are joined by what to allow the heart to contract in a functional syncytium?
|
Isovolumic relaxation
In which phase is there a decline in ventricular pressure causing closure of semilunar valves?
|
Sympathetic, SA and AV nodes and within cardiac tissue
Which control center originates from cardioacceleratory nuclei of the medulla oblongata? Where do these synapses occur?
|
S2
Which heart sound has an aortic and a pulmonary component?
|
CO = 13 L/min
SV = 90 mL/beat MAP = 97 mmHg
HR = 145bpm, End systolic volume = 40 mL, End diastolic volume = 130 mL, Systolic pressure = 130 mmHg, Diastolic pressure 80 mmHg.
Calculate patient’s CO. Calculate patient’s SV. Calculate patient’s mean arterial pressure (MAP). |
Vena cava → Rt Atrium → Rt Ventricle → Pulmonary vein → Lungs → Pulmonary vein → Left Atrium → Left Ventricle → Dorsal aorta → Body → Vena cava
What is the correct order of movement of blood starting at the Vena Cava?
|
Backflow of blood into the left ventricle during ventricular diastole
Describe the clinical situation of aortic valve regurgitation.

S1
Which heart sound results from closure of atrioventricular valves?
