, 2
Changes in CK-MB - (ANSWER)Released after myocardial necrosis. Specific for
myocardial damage.
Rise: 3-12 hours

Common conditions that cause a murmur - (ANSWER)Aortic dissection, aortic
regurgitation (both acute & chronic), mitral valve regurgitation (both acute &
chronic), mitral valve stenosis
Drugs to decrease afterload/SVR/PVR - (ANSWER)(Arterial Dilators)
Nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, amrinone, alpha (Regitine) & Ca channel blockers
, 3
Drugs to increased afterload/SVR/PVR - (ANSWER)(Vasopressors) Epinepherine,
norepinepherine, dopamine, neosynephrine
Drugs to decrease contractility/SVI - (ANSWER)Beta blockers (atenolol,
metoprolol, propranolol, labetolol, esmolol) and Ca channel blockers
Drugs to increase contractility/SVI - (ANSWER)Positive inotropes, dobutamine,
dopamine, milrinone, and digoxin
Drugs to decrease preload/CVP/PAWP - (ANSWER)Venous Dilators -

blood, hetastarch
Dysrhythmia control - antirhythmics, pacemaker, AICD
Complications when using thrombolytics - (ANSWER)Allergic reaction,
bleeding/hemorrhage, stroke
Failure to capture - (ANSWER)Pacer delivers a stimulus at the appropriate time
but no depolarization occurs. No P or QRS wave after pacer spike.
Failure to fire/pace - (ANSWER)No pacer spikes seen
