1st degree heart block
p-r interval is greater than 1 large box treat with atropine
2nd degree heart block
p wave present, occasionally without QRS, treat with atropine, grab electronic pacemaker
3rd degree heart block
when the atrium & the ventricles are beating independently
,AAA symptoms of rupture
warmth in abdomen or back
Palpable mass but do not palpate it
Decreasing BP
Increasing HR
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
A condition in which the walls of the aorta in the abdomen weaken and blood leaks into the layers of the
vessel, causing it to bulge.
,• Abnormal fast heart rate of more than 100beats per minute:
.- Compensatory response to increased demandfor cardiac output or reduced stroke volume.
- Sympathetic activation
- Decreased parasympathetic activity
Greater than 100 but less than 120 BPM
Sinus Tachycardia
ACCUMULATION OF PERICARDIALFLUID WITHOUT CLINICAL
Cardiac tampanode
amount of blood the heartpumps from each ventricle per minutemeasured in liters per minute
Cardiac output
, amount of ventricular stretch at the end ofdiastole.
-initial stretching of the ventricles prior tocontraction.
-the heart loading up for the next big squeeze of the ventricles during systole.
Preload
YOU CAN GIVE FLUIDS TO INCREASE THIS
• An abnormal accumulation of lipid, or fattysubstances, and fibrous tissue in the lining of arterialblood
vessel walls
.• These substances block and narrow the coronaryartery, resulting in decreasing blood flow to
themyocardium
Atherosclorisis
Aneurysm can also occur in
the peripheral vessels
