EMT cardiology FISDAP study guide

EMT cardiology FISDAP study guide Septum - correct answer Divides the right and left chambers of the heart superior vena cava - correct answer transports blood from the upper portion of the body to the right atrium of the heart inferior vena cava - correct answer carries blood from lower regions of the body to right atrium of the heart right ventricle - correct answer pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs tricuspid valve - correct answer valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle pulmonary artery - correct answer Carries deoxygentated blood from the heart to the lungs pulmonary veins - correct answer carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart left ventricle - correct answer pumps oxygenated blood to the body left atrium - correct answer receives oxygenated blood from the lungs right atrium - correct answer Receives deoxygenated blood from the body mitral (bicuspid) valve - correct answer valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle. SA node - correct answer pacemaker of the heart, where normal electrical impulses begin AV node - correct answer region where electrical impulse in the heart is slowed to allow blood time to pass from the atria to the ventricles sympathetic nervous system - correct answer flight or fight; speeds heart rate, dilates blood vessels in muscle, increases respiratory speed and depth, constricts blood vessels in digestive system parasympathetic - correct answer feed and breed; slows heart & respiratory rate, constricts blood vessels in muscles, dilates blood vessels in digestive system cardiac output - correct answer heart rate x stroke volume stroke volume - correct answer The amount of blood ejected from the heart with each ventricular contraction. blood consists of - correct answer plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets Ischemia - correct answer an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, for this chapter to the heart muscles. Atherosclerosis - correct answer condition in which fatty deposits called plaque build up on the inner walls of the arteries thromboembolism - correct answer A blood clot that has formed within a blood vessel and is floating within the bloodstream. acute myocardial infarction - correct answer A blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. Also called a heart attack. acute coronary syndrome - correct answer A term used to describe a group of symptoms caused by myocardial ischemia; includes angina and myocardial infarction. angina pectoris - correct answer when the heart's need for oxygen exceeds its supply, usually during periods of physical or emotional stress where the heart is working hard tachycardia - correct answer 100 bpm Bradycardia - correct answer 60 bpm Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) - correct answer abnormal heart rhythm which results in quivering of ventricles SHOCKABLE Ventricular tachycardia - correct answer a very rapid heartbeat that begins within the ventricles (150-200bpm) can deteriorate into v fib asystole - correct answer absence of all heart electrical activity cardiogenic shock - correct answer the heart lacks the power to force proper volume of blood through circulatory system cardiogenic shock signs/symptoms - correct answer anxiety; pale, cool, clammy skin; high pulse rate; rapid shallow breathing; nausea/vomiting Cardiogenic shock treatment - correct answer semifowler, oxygen, assist ventilations (if needed), blankets, prompt transport to ED congestive heart failure (CHF) - correct answer ventricular heart muscle is permanently damaged and can no longer keep up with the return flow of blood from the atria, leads to left ventricle failure left ventricular correct answer Divides the right and left chambers of the heart superior vena cava - correct answer transports blood from the upper portion of the body to the right atrium of the heart inferior vena cava - correct answer carries blood from lower regions of the body to right atrium of the heart right ventricle - correct answer pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs tricuspid valve - correct answer valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle pulmonary artery - correct answer Carries deoxygentated blood from the heart to the lungs pulmonary veins - correct answer carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart left ventricle - correct answer pumps oxygenated blood to the body left atrium - correct answer receives oxygenated blood from the lungs right atrium - correct answer Receives deoxygenated blood from the body mitral (bicuspid) valve - correct answer valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
