FCCN 1 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS
unstable angina ANSW✅✅this is characterized by chest pain not relieved by rest as a result of
plaque rupture and formation of a clot in the coronary arteries
NSTEMI ANSW✅✅this is characterized by a clot that is intermittently occlusive leading to non-full
thickness infarction of the myocardium
STEMI ANSW✅✅this is characterized by an occlusive thrombus that leads to full thickness
infarction of the myocardium
ischemia ANSW✅✅flipped T-waves and ST depression is a sign of what
injury ANSW✅✅ST elevation is a sign of what
infarction ANSW✅✅deep Q waves form after 24 hours and are a sign of what
1.5 ANSW✅✅ST segment elevation is measured how far away from J point
1 ANSW✅✅ST alarm limit range for patients with ischemia or risk for ischemia
2 ANSW✅✅ST alarm limit range for patients without ischemia or risk for ischemia
V2 or V3 ANSW✅✅QT measurements should be taken where the QT interval is the longest,
usually in leads:
1 ANSW✅✅u waves should be included in QT intervals if found in multiple leads and are at least
what height
antiarrhythmics antipsychotics and antidepressants ANSW✅✅medications oftentimes associated
with lengthened QT intervals
, polymorphic vtach ANSW✅✅prolonged QT can result in what as a result of delayed repolarization
ACE inhibitors and ARBs ANSW✅✅with these medications, blood pressure, electrolytes and renal
function needs to be monitored
antiarrhythmics ANSW✅✅these medications act as positive inotropes
antiarrhythmics ANSW✅✅amiodarone, flecainide, sotalol
beta blockers ANSW✅✅with these medications, one needs to monitor for bronchospasm and
cold hands/feet
inotropes ANSW✅✅these medications act on the strength of the heartbeat
chronotropes ANSW✅✅these medications affect the heart rate
HFrEF ANSW✅✅Heart failure with ejection fraction less than 50%
HFpEF ANSW✅✅Heart failure with ejection fraction greater than 50%
ACE or ARBs beta blockers and diuretics ANSW✅✅main medications for HFrEF
1 ANSW✅✅This class of heart failure is characterized by no symptoms
2 ANSW✅✅This class of heart failure is characterized by symptoms with moderate exertion
3 ANSW✅✅This class of heart failure is characterized by symptoms with mild exertion
4 ANSW✅✅This class of heart failure is characterized by symptoms at rest
