A+
1. What is Atrial fibrillation?: Irregular, rapid heart beat
2. Do clients with atrial fibrillation have symptoms?: Not always
May be asymptomatic
3. What are the s/s of Afib?: Dyspnea
Fatigue
Palpitations
Lightheadedness
Weakness
Chest pain
Hypotension (hemodynamic shock)
4. What does Afib lead to?: Clot formation --> embolus --> death
5. What is Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)?: abnormally fast heart rhythm due to inappropriate electrical
activity in the upper portion of the heart, the AV node
6. How fast do ventricles contract with SVTs?: >100 BPM
7. How do we treat Supraventricular tachycardia?: CCBs
Beta blockers
Anticoagulants
Catheter ablation
,Valsalva maneuver
8. How is Heart failure diagnosed?: echocardiogram
9. What is Right sided heart failure?: failure of the right ventricle to pump efficiently causing blood to be backed up
10. What are the S/s of R. sided HF?: • Systemic congestion
• Jugular (neck vein) distention
• Enlarged liver and spleen
• Anorexia and nausea
• Dependent edema (legs and sacrum)
• Distended abdomen
