WITH SOLVED QUESTIONS
⩥ Stress testing.
Answer: records and monitors cardiac rhythm during exercise
⩥ Phonocardiograph Technicians.
Answer: operate equipment used to record abnormal heart sounds
⩥ Echocardiograph Technicians.
Answer: use ultrasound equipment to create 2-dimensional ultrasonic
patterns of the heart chambers and valves to detect problems and/or
defects
⩥ Vectorcardiograph Technicians.
Answer: monitor 3-dimensional tracings of the activity of the heart
⩥ Sphygmomanometer.
Answer: blood pressure cuff (used to measure blood pressure)
⩥ The production and loss of heat are generated and controlled in the.
,Answer: hypothalamus and the brainstem
⩥ The average adult oral (mouth) temperature is around.
Answer: 98.6°F
⩥ The average adult rectal (anus) temperature is around.
Answer: (0.5°F to 1°F higher than oral temperature) 99.7°F
⩥ The average adult axillary (arm pit) temperature is around.
Answer: (0.5°F to 1°F lower than oral temperature) 97.6°F
⩥ Systolic.
Answer: contraction of heart, MAXIUM arterial pressure during
contraction of the LEFT ventricle of the heart.
⩥ Diastolic.
Answer: relaxation and dilatation (expansion) of the heart, MINIMUM
arterial pressure during relaxation and dilatation of the heart's ventricles
when the ventricles fill with blood.
⩥ Postural/Orthostatic Hypotension.
Answer: low blood pressure when a person goes from a sitting or lying
position to a standing position
, ⩥ Medications that may cause low blood pressure include:.
Answer: Alpha Blockers, Beta Blockers, Diuretics, Certain
antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants), Drugs for Parkinson's disease,
Sildenafil (Viagra), nitroglycerine
⩥ Postprandial Hypotension.
Answer: sudden drop in blood pressure after eating.
(May affect people with high blood pressure or people suffering
autonomic nervous system disorders).
⩥ Neurally Mediated Hypotension.
Answer: low blood pressure from faulty brain signals, the decrease
blood pressure after standing for longer periods (Mostly affect young
people)
⩥ Shy-Drager Syndrome.
Answer: main characteristic: severe orthostatic hypotension in
combination with very high blood pressure when lying down.
Rare disorder causes progressive damage to the autonomic nervous
system, which controls involuntary functions such as blood pressure,
heart rate, breathing, and digestion.
