EKG practice test
The fibrous sac covering the heart, which is in contact with the pleura is the : - Answer:
pericardium
The heart ventricle with the thicker myocardium.... - Answer: left
The pulmonic and aortic valves open during systole or diastole? - Answer: systole
The large blood vessel that returns unoxygenated blood from the head and neck to the right
atrium is called... - Answer: superior vena cava
The coronary sinus, which opens into the right atrium, allows return from which layer of the
heart? - Answer: myocardium
The saw tooth pattern is indicative of which rhythm? - Answer: atrial flutter
The mitral valve is located between the... - Answer: left atrium and left ventricle
This part of the conduction system of the heart is located at the superior portion of the inter
ventricular septum and has the ability to function as a pacemaker with an intrinsic firing rate of
40-60 beats per minute. - Answer: bundle of his
This represent the time it take for electrical impulses to travel from the atria to the AV node,
bundle of his, bundle branches and to the purkinje fibers. - Answer: QT interval
Which is an indication of stress testing?

B. acute myocardial infarction
C. severe hypertension
, EKG practice test
D. evaluation of chest pain in a patient with normal baseline EKG. - Answer: Evaluation of chest
pain in a patient with normal baseline EKG

what are the functions of the musculoskeletal system? - Answer: support and movement
Wet floors, heavy lifting can cause falling, sprains and strain, these are all examples of which
hazard? - Answer: physical
What is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure to determine indirectly the presence of severity of
coronary artery disease and the heart muscle lack of blood supply? - Answer: stress test
A stress test is performed by... - Answer: exercise and resting
This type of testing is done by administering medication that cause increase in HR while hooked
to an EKG monitor. - Answer: pharmacological stress testing
