HIM 361 CH 11 EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS ALL CORRECT
Failure of proper conduction of impulses from the SA node through the AV node to the
atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His). - Answer-bradycardia and heart
block (atrioventricular
block)
Implantation of an artificial ___________ overcomes arrhythmias and
keeps the heart beating at the proper rate. - Answer-cardiac pacemaker
Rapid but regular contractions, usually of the atria. - Answer-flutter
Very rapid, random, inefficient, and irregular contractions of the heart (350 beats or
more per minute). - Answer-fibrillation
is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, - Answer-Atrial fibrillation (AF)
uncomfortable sensations in the chest from missed heartbeats - Answer-palpitations
is a small electrical device that is implanted inside the chest (near the collarbone) to
sense arrhythmias and
terminate them with an electric shock - Answer-implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
(ICD)
may be found in workplaces, airports, and other public places and are used in an
emergency situation to reverse ventricular fibrillation - Answer-Automatic external
defibrillators (AEDs)
Abnormalities in the heart at birth. - Answer-congenital heart disease
Narrowing (coarctation) of the aorta - Answer-coarctation of the aorta
(CoA)
Passageway (ductus arteriosus) between the aorta and the pulmonary
artery remains open (patent) after birth. - Answer-patent ductus
arteriosus (PDA)
Small holes in the wall between the atria (atrial septal defects) or the
ventricles (ventricular septal defects). - Answer-septal defects
, septal defects can require __________ to close the hole between heart chambers if the
defects do not close spontaneously. - Answer-open heart surgery
Congenital malformation involving four (tetra-) distinct heart defects. - Answer-tetralogy
of Fallot
(fă-LŌ)
The four defects of tetralogy of Fallot are: - Answer-•Pulmonary artery stenosis.
•Ventricular septal defect.
•Shift of the aorta to the right.
•Hypertrophy of the right ventricle.
Pulmonary artery is narrow or obstructed. - Answer-Pulmonary artery stenosis
Large hole between two ventricles lets venous blood
pass from the right to the left ventricle and out to the aorta without
oxygenation. - Answer-Ventricular septal defect
Instrument to measure blood pressure. - Answer-sphygmomanometer
Aorta overrides the interventricular septum.
Oxygen-poor blood passes from the right ventricle to the aorta - Answer-Shift of the
aorta to the right.
An infant with hypertrophy of the right ventricle is described as a "blue baby" because of
the extreme degree - Answer-cyanosis
Heart is unable to pump its required amount of blood. - Answer-congestive heart failure
(CHF)
Disease of the arteries surrounding the heart. - Answer-coronary artery disease
(CAD)
CAD usually is the result of __________. This is the deposition of fatty
compounds on the inner lining of the coronary arteries - Answer-atherosclerosis
(blocking of the coronary artery by a clot) - Answer-thrombotic occlusion
decreased blood flow - Answer-ischemia
death - Answer-necrosis
Blood flow is
decreased or stopped entirely, leading to death of a part of the myocardium. This
sequence of events constitutes a __________, or
