Cardiology Fisdap Questions with VERIFIED Answers (Guaranteed
Success)
Q1: Stimulation of Beta 1 receptors result in an increase of what?
Answer: Heart: Inotropy, Chronotropy, Dromotropy Kidneys: Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System =
Vasoconstriction = Increase blood pressure
Q2: Which node is located at the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium, is typically
supplied by the Right Coronary artery, and fires at a rate of 60-100 bpm.
Answer: SA Node
Q3: Atrial depolarization characterized by smooth, round, upright deflection less than 0.11 secs long
and less than 2.5mm tall is referred to as what on the ECG?
Answer: P wave
Q4: Carvedilol (Coreg) Metropolol (Lopressor) Atenolol (Tenormin) Propranolol (Inderal) Bisoprolol
(Zebeta) Acebutolol (Sectral) Comolol (Brevibloc)
Answer: Beta Blockers - used for blood pressure and cardiac problems
Q5: Epinephrine Norepinephrine Vasopressin Dopamine Phenylephrine Dobutamine
Answer: Vasopressors
Q6: The middle of phase 3 to beginning of phase 4 in the cardiac cycle where cardiac cells are partially
refractory and partially repolarized and certain cells can be depolarized in response to electrical
stimulus.
Answer: Relative Refractory Period (Partial flush of the toilet)
Q7: When end diastolic volume increases, stroke volume increases as well. (When more blood is in the
ventricles, the cardiac muscle stretches like rubber band and creates more forceful contraction)
Answer: Starlings Law
, Q8: Intrinsic Rate for Ventricles (Purkinje Fibers)
Answer: 20-40
Q9: Intrinsic Rate for AV Junction
Answer: 40-60
Q10: Treatment for Beta Blocker Overdose
Answer: Glucagon: 1-5mg IV/IO (1st Line Drug) Calcium Chloride: 500mg - 1g IV/IO
Q11: Why do we give Nitro for chest pain? Class MOA Indications
Answer: Nitrate Vasodilator and Antianginal Relaxes vascular smooth muscle = vasodilation and
venous pooling which Reduces Preload/Afterload and Dilates Coronary Arteries which increases
myocardial perfusion. Cardiac Chest Pain Acute Pulmonary Edema
Q12: What is our dose for nitro, and what are the contraindications?
Answer: 0.4mg sublingual 15mg/1inch paste 1g patch Systolic <90mmHg PDE5 inhibitors x 48hrs Head
Trauma/Hemorrhage signs Poor Systemic Perfusion
Q13: Swelling of affected limb, pain and tenderness, inflammation/redness, warm to touch on affected
limb, pain on dorsiflexion (Homan Sign) are all signs of?
Answer: DVT
Q14: Treatment of DVT
Answer: Supportive Care, Position of Comfort, Establish IV, Cardiac Monitor, Pulse Ox, O2, Monitor
vitals for embolism. Do not massage affected limb.
Q15: The pressure gradient that drives coronary blood pressure. The difference between aortic
diastolic pressure and left ventricular end diastolic pressure that perfuses the coronary arteries.
Answer: Coronary Perfusion
