What causes bradycardia? - CORRECT ANSWER
>>>>a blocked pathway at or below the AV node
Scar tissue from prior MI or medications
Wolfe-Parkinson-White Syndrome - CORRECT
ANSWER >>>>most common reentry tachycardia
Delta waves between PR and QRST spike
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) - CORRECT
ANSWER >>>>arteries weaken and areas of the
artery balloon outward
caused by atherosclerosis and HTN
S/S of AAA - CORRECT ANSWER >>>>pulsating
abdominal mass

flank/back pain
once it ruptures, symptoms worsen: severe pain,
worsening dyspnea, cardiovascular collapse due
to life threatening bleeding
Diagnosis of AAA - CORRECT ANSWER >>>>if
symptoms present, we can do CT, MRI, and
arteriography (angiography)
Treatment of AAA - CORRECT ANSWER
>>>>lowering BP to prevent rupture
using statins and antiplatelet therapy
smoking cessation
if aneurysm is >5 cm, it requires surgery
Atherosclerotic Heart Disease - CORRECT
ANSWER >>>>The end result of the accumulation
of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary
arteries that supply the muscle of the heart with
oxygen and nutrients

the valve can be unicuspid, bicuspid, or tricuspid
with partially fused leaflets
rheumatic aortic stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER
>>>>symptoms develop between age 30-70
tissue inflammation results in adhesions and
fusing of the commissures
fibrosis and calcification of the leaflet tips can
occur because of turbulent flow
