EMTS Paramedic Cardiology Exam Questions & Answers.
1. Rhythms with
A-Fib, Sinus Arrhythmia, Wandering Pacemaker, 2nd degree type 1
irregu- lar R-R ?
2. Rhythms with no
SVT, Junctional escape, Idioventricular, Asystole
P waves ?
3. What does
It is a type of Polymorphic Tachycardia
Torsades de
pointes look like?
- A PAC is when you have another full contraction (heartbeat) (P,
4. How can you tell
QRS, T) that
the
difference between a starts right after you have already have a full contraction
(heartbeat) (P, QRS,
PAC, PVC, PJC? T).
-A PVC, you will have a QRS complex that is greater than 0.12
seconds.
-A PJC is a QRS complex that is 0.12 seconds or less, but does not
have a P wave.
5. Preload Amount of Blood, stretch or pressure in the left ventricles at end
diastole
6. Afterload AKA- Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
resistance in which the left ventricle must pump to open aortic valve and
push blood into systemic circulation
7. What is idiot version :
Starlings Law? -increase in blood volume filling heart
-cause increase in contractile force of heart
-Result: increase in stroke volume
8. Factors of Stroke Vol- Preload
