DYSRHYTHMIA STUFF AHN 447 UPDATED WITH 100% VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS!!



We want the sinus node pacing the heart.



Depolarization- _______

Repolarization- ________ and refilling - (answer)Contraction; relaxing



At rest there is a _____ charge inside the cell and a positive charge outside the cell



Na+ is most plentiful ______ the cell and K+ is most plentiful inside the cell.



When the muscle depolarizes Na rushes ___ and K rushes ___ in a wave pattern - (answer)negative;
outside; in; out



For a cell to depolarize it must be ______ stimulated and the ions (K and Na) must change places.



Repolarization is the ions going back to their normal _____ state (K in and Na out)

This is a slower movement than depolarization (rapid movement)



Absolute refractory means excitability is ______ and we cannot stimulate it to depolarize -
(answer)electrically; resting; zero



Primary pace-maker is the SA node

-Normal rate is ___-____



The second pacemaker is the AV node

-Normal rate for AV node is ___-___

SOLUTIONS!!



The last pace maker is the purkinje fibers

-Rate of __-__ - (answer)60-100 ; 40-60; 20-40



P-wave= atrial depolarization

-Right at the end of diastole the atria contract "____ ____"

-30% of CO comes from atrial kick



AV node slows down the impulse for ______ filling.

The flat part is where atrial contraction occurs is also where the AV node is holding onto that impulse to
allow for ventricular filling



QRS= ventricular depolarization.

-As soon as they depolarize they have to contract whether they are full or not.



T-wave= ventricular repolarization. When the ions are going back to their original state.



There isn't an atrial repolarization because is hidden by the QRS. - (answer)atrial kick; ventricular



Oversized __ _____ means they have an infarct in the past - (answer)Q wave



Normal time intervals:



PR= ___-___

•Represents atrial depolarization and mechanical contraction of the atria



QRS= anything less than ____ seconds (<0.12 sec)

•Represents ventricular depolarization - (answer)0.12-0.20; less than 0.12

SOLUTIONS!!




If there is no QRS after a P wave then the conduction got blocked in the ___ node



For a NSR we have to have a p followed by QRS



In newly infarcted patients we don't want sinus tachycardia because the diastole doesn't have time to fill
the coronaries - (answer)AV



Hyperthyroidism - feel hot and sweaty

Excess t3 and t4 is causes the heart to beat fast and hard



___ ____ blocker to lower HR for these patients



Sepsis we will give BB too - (answer)BB 1 specific



Sinus tachy we treat the ______ of the tachycardia and not just give the BB in the reg population -
(answer)cause



Sinus bradycardia



-NSR except for slowed rate

-Coronary perfusion is really good here

-If it gets too low we lose CO

-Valsalva can cause this to slow the HR

-Vagus nerve is _________.

-Normal in a aerobic athlete. - (answer)parasympathetic
