HS 3500 Exam 1 questions with verified answers
20 Ans✓✓✓ What percent of deaths are accounted by coronary heart
disease?
9% Ans✓✓✓ What is the survival rate in adults that have a cardiac
arrest?
absence of disease Ans✓✓✓ Historic definition of health
acute upper respiratory tract infection Ans✓✓✓ What pulmonary
disease?
- most common
- "cold"
- viral
- lasts 10-12 days
- no real treatment, treat symptoms
analogy Ans✓✓✓ one of the criteria to determine causation, similar
risk influences a similar disease
anemia Ans✓✓✓ lack of a normal number of hemoglobin due to a low
production (low iron), bleeding, or a shortened life cycle (bone marrow
issues)
,angina pectoris Ans✓✓✓ chest pain that results when the heart does
not get enough oxygen
can be a symptom or a chronic condition
arrythmia Ans✓✓✓ Abnormal heart rhythm
asthma Ans✓✓✓ Pathophysiology of what pulmonary disease?
- chronic inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles
- bronchospasms and air trapping
asthmatic bronchitis Ans✓✓✓ 3rd stage of COPD
when asthma is complicated with bronchitis
damage = spasms
asystole Ans✓✓✓ the absence of a heartbeat
at birth, age Ans✓✓✓ When does atherosclerosis begin and what is a
risk factor for it?
, Atherosclerosis Ans✓✓✓ condition in which fatty deposits called
plaque build up on the inner walls of the arteries
atrial fibrillation Ans✓✓✓ rapid, random, ineffective contractions of
the atrium
- ventricle unaffected
-reduces stroke volume
-blood sits in atria-> thrombi form-> circulates and gets stuck elsewhere
atrial flutter Ans✓✓✓ organized, atria contract with SA node fires but
AV node doesn't pass the signal on
atrophy of the heart and chest pain at high ex intensities Ans✓✓✓
What can a partial blockage of the coronary arteries lead to (2 things)?
AV block Ans✓✓✓ prolonged PQ interval, conduction through AV node
is slow
- atrium electricity doesn't reach ventricle
biological plausibility Ans✓✓✓ one of the criteria to determine
causation, Known biological mechanisms can convincingly explain a
cause-and-effect relationship
