Answer: inflammation of the pericardium
●● S/S pericarditis
Answer: friction rub
hypotension
muffled heart tones
JVD
ST elevation in diffuse leads w/upright T waves
chest pain
S/S relieve with sitting forward
,●● S/S arterial vascular disease
Answer: claudication
absence of palpable pulses
●● venous vascular disease
Answer: blockage of, disease of, or damage to veins; most commonly
occurs in extremity veins
●● peritonitis
Answer: inflammation of the peritoneum (membrane lining the
abdominal cavity and surrounding the organs within it)
●● S/S peritonitis
Answer: fever
chills
generalized abd pain that increases w/movement
nausea/vomiting
●● esophagitis
Answer: inflammation of the lining of the esophagus
●● S/S esophagitis
,Answer: reflux/heartburn

●● S1
Answer: the first heart sound, heard when the atrioventricular (mitral
and tricuspid) valves close

pulmonic) valves close
●● pulse pressure
Answer: difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
●● stable angina
Answer: signs of acute coronary syndrome brought on by exercise,
stress, or exertion that usually resolves in 5 minutes; signs usually
relieve with nitro
●● unstable angina
, Answer: signs of acute coronary syndrome persisting longer than 5
minutes and may occur at rest; signs usually do not relieve with nitro
●● anterior wall MI
Answer: -involves LAD artery
-Leads V1, V2, V3, V4 with ST elevation
-supplies blood to left anterior ventricle
-may result in left ventricular pump failure, cardiogenic shock, or death
-increased risk of death
●● lateral wall MI
Answer: -involves circumflex artery
-Leads: I, aVL, V5, V6
-lateral wall of left ventricle
-supplies AV node in 10% of population
-often accompanies anterior or inferior wall MI's
●● inferior wall MI
Answer: -involves RCA
-Leads: II, III, aVF
-Supplies blood to right atrium, SA node, and AV node
-may develop bradycardia, sinus arrest
