(SV x HR = CO) - ANSWER the amount of blood that pumps out with each beat
An equation for
Cardiac Output - Answer: SV x HR = CO.
An equation for
Pulse Pressure - Answer: Systolic BP - Diastolic BP = PP
What does the Double Product measure? - ANSWER Workload of the Heart
What is the equation for the double product? - ANSWER: Systolic x HR/100
What is left ventricular pressure the same as? - Answer: Systolic pressure.
Plane divides the body into superior and inferior: - ANSWER TRANSVERSE
,The plane divides the body in half.
Anterior and posterior - Answer: Coronal (Frontal)
The plane divides the body into left and right halves. - Answer: Sagittal
Measuring the force exerted on the arteries during cardiac contraction: ANSWER:
Systolic blood pressure.
Measuring pressure on arteries while the heart relaxes: ANSWER: Diastolic blood
pressure
What does this equation represent?
Diastolic+Diastolic+Systolic)/3=- ANSWER Mean Artery Pressure
I + III = II - Answer Einthoven's Law
The maximum heart rate is: - ANSWER 220 - age
A stress test should not be performed if you have unstable angina.
T/F: ANSWER TRUE.
What substance is utilized in the pharmacological stress test? - Answer:
dobutamine.
,BRUCE Protocol increases incline and speed every _ minutes. ANSWER: Every 3
minutes.
Every 2 minutes, the Naughton Protocol raises the incline and pace.
Chronotropic - Answer refers to heart rate.
Inotropic - Answer refers to the force of contraction.
Dromotropic - Answer refers to conductivity.
Modified chest lead MCL I displays ___ activity - ANSWER Atrial activity.
MCL 5 displays ____ activity - Ventricular.
Epinephrine - Answer Cardiac Arrest or V-Fib.
Lidocaine: ANSWER PVCs or Tachycardia
Nitrates/Nitroglycerin/Isordil
(Vasodilators) - ANSWER Chest Pain and Angina
What do Beta Blockers (LOL) do? - ANSWER Lower heart rate.
Inderal, Propanolol, and Atoperol are all beta blockers.
Atropine (positive chronotropic): ANSWER raises heart rate and blood pressure.
, Atropine is used to treat bradycardia, asystole, and AV block.
Digitalis (positive, inotropic)
ANSWER CHF patients with digoxin or lanoxin. This allows the heart to pump
more effectively.
This medicine may induce the ST segment to decrease, resulting in false positive
stress tests. - ANSWER: Digitalis or digoxin.
Verapamil is a negative chronotropic and inotropic medication.
Verapamil - A calcium channel blocker.
