heart Exam Questions And Answers {100%verified}
1. Flow of blood Deoxygenated blood enters into the heart through the
through the heart superior and inferior vena cava
Blood travels into the right atrium and flows through the
tricuspid valve into the right ventricle
Blood is pushed through the pulmonary valve into the pul-
monary artery and lungs when the right ventrical contracts
and picks up oxygen
Oxygenated blood is then carried back to the heart by
the pulmonary veins into the left atrium through the mitral
valve and into the left ventricle
Contraction of the left ventricle forces the blood through
the aortic valve, through the aorta, and out to the entire
body
2. What is fibrilla- uncoordinated contraction of cardiac muscle fiber/ atrial
tion of the heart? less serious than ventricular fibrillation (VF more threat-
ening)/ corrected through defibrillation
3. Modifiable risk Smoking, HTN, DM, obesity, diet, activity level, hyperlipi-
factors for CAD demia
4. Non-modifiable age, gender, family history
risk factors CAD
5. Cardiac output The volume of blood ejected from the left side of the heart
in one minute./ heart rate x stroke volume (L/min)
6. ECG electrocardiogramthe process of producing an electrocar-
diogram, a recording - a graph of voltage versus time - of
the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed
on the skin.
Measure- pressure/absence of certain wave forms, size of
waves, time intervals of the cardiac cycle

, heart Exam
Abnormal/problems - heart is enlarged, certain regions
are damaged
7. stroke volume end diastolic volume - end systolic volume
8. P wave atrial depolarization
9. QRS wave ventricular depolarization
10. T wave bv ventricular repolarization
11. Cad coronary artery disease,
Diagnosed- stress testing, electrocardiogram, echocar-
diography, electron beam configuration,
Treated- drugs, Coronary Artery Bypass grafting, Percun-
taneous translummial coronary angioplasty, stents
12. aneurysm ballooning of a weakened portion of an arterial wall
13. angina pectoris chest pain that results when the heart does not get enough
blood flow
14. arrhythmia irregular heartbeat
15. arteriosclerosis hardening of the arteries
16. atheroscerosis a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of
the buildup of fatty materials
17. Brandycardia slow heart rate
18. cardiac arrest cessation of heart activity
19. cardiomyopathy disease of the heart muscle
20. congestive heart A condition resulting from the heart's inability to pump out
failure all the blood that returns to it; blood backs up in the veins
leading to the heart, causing an accumulation of fluid in
various parts of the body
