• Hypertension . CORRECT ANSWER: this condition is determined only if the
patient has had elevated blood pressure readings over a significant period and
under varied conditions
• atherosclerosis . CORRECT ANSWER: the buildup of plaque in the arteries
• Systolic blood pressure . CORRECT ANSWER: a measure of the amount of
pressure that blood presses against the arteries and vessels as the ventricles of
the heart contract
• Diastolic blood pressure . CORRECT ANSWER: a measure of the same pressure
when the heart is relaxed
• Diuretics . CORRECT ANSWER: also known as "water pills", stop kidneys from
reabsorbing water and electrolytes, and increased water loss lowers the blood
volume, which lowers the blood pressure
• Beta blockers . CORRECT ANSWER: are beta receptor antagonists that act on
the beta receptors in the heart, causes decreased heart rate and cardiac output
and lowers the blood pressure, medications end with suffix -lol
• Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors . CORRECT ANSWER: decrease
the fluid volume and also cause peripheral vasodilation resulting in lower blood
pressure, medications end with suffix - pril
,• Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) . CORRECT ANSWER: Lower blood
pressure by blocking the angiotensin II enzyme from causing vasoconstriction,
medications end with suffix -sartan
• Calcium channel blockers . CORRECT ANSWER: hinder the calcium ion influx in
the vascular smooth muscle of the heart, resulting in heart muscle relaxation
decreasing blood pressure, medications end with suffix -pine
• Vasodilators . CORRECT ANSWER: work by directly dilating the blood vessels to
produce rapid and significant reduction in blood pressure, all Nitro-medications
are vasodilators
• Congestive heart failure (CHF) . CORRECT ANSWER: happens when the heart
can't pump blood efficiently to deliver an adequate supply of blood to the
metabolizing tissues, usually because of water and sodium retention
• Hyperlipidemia (or high cholesterol) . CORRECT ANSWER: is the increase in
circulating concentration of cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides, or
phospholipids
• Cholesterol . CORRECT ANSWER: is classified as steroid-based and is a primary
component of the cell membrane
• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) . CORRECT ANSWER: one of the two main types
of cholesterol, which is also known as "bad cholesterol"
,• HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) . CORRECT ANSWER: one of the two main types
of cholesterol, which is also known as "good cholesterol"
• HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors . CORRECT ANSWER: also called statins, are the
mainstay of treating hyperlipidemia, and inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase,
thus decreasing the cholesterol production and reduction of LDL levels
• Coronary artery disease (CAD) . CORRECT ANSWER: also known as
atherosclerosis, is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary
arteries
• myocardial infarction (MI) . CORRECT ANSWER: heart attack
• thrombus . CORRECT ANSWER: blood clot
• Dysrhythmia . CORRECT ANSWER: a commonly used term to define
disorganized or abnormal heart rhythm
• What is the formula for Wavelength? . CORRECT ANSWER: Wavelength (λ) =
velocity / frequency
• What is the formula for Pressure? . CORRECT ANSWER: Force (N) / Area (m^2)
• What is the formula for Speed? . CORRECT ANSWER: Displacement (m) / Time
(s)
• What is the formula for Velocity? . CORRECT ANSWER: Distance (m) / Time (s)
, • What is the formula for Acceleration? . CORRECT ANSWER: Velocity change
(m/s) / Time (s)
• What is the formula for Density? . CORRECT ANSWER: Mass (kg) / Volume
(m^3)
• What is the formula for Stiffness? . CORRECT ANSWER: Pressure (N/m^2) /
Volume change
• What is the formula for Work (J)? . CORRECT ANSWER: Force (N) x
Displacement (m)
• What is the formula for Power (W)? . CORRECT ANSWER: Work/Energy (J) /
Time (s)
• What is the formula for Period? . CORRECT ANSWER: 1 / frequency
• What is the formula for Impedance? . CORRECT ANSWER: Density x Propagation
Speed (PS)
• What is the formula for Pulse Duration? . CORRECT ANSWER: Period x # of
cycles
• What is the formula for PRP? (Pulse Repitition Period) . CORRECT ANSWER: 1 /
PRF (Pulse Repitition Frequency)
