endocarditis - Answer-inflammation of the endocardium (the lining of the cavities of the heart and connective tissue bed) hypertension - Answer-greater then 140/90 diuretics - Answer-an agent that promotes excretion of urine digitalis - Answer-a pharmacologic agent used to treat congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal tachycardia of the atria ischemia - Answer-deficiency of blood to a body part due to functional constriction or obstruction of a blood vessel p wave - Answer-a wave on ekg that represents contraction of atria t wave - Answer-represents repolarization of the ventricles qrs complex - Answer-reflects activity that produces ventricular contraction ectopic foci - Answer-a displaced central point of origin for a cardiac dysrhythmia supraventricular foci - Answer-central points of origin of dysthymias, which are located above the level of the ventricles in the atria ventricular foci - Answer-a displaced point of origin for a dysthymia that is in the ventricles arrest rhythms - Answer-cardiac rhythms in which there is cardiac arrest. some arrest rhythms such as pulseless ventricular tachycardia are accompanied by a rhythm display, but there is no contractioncompensatory pause - Answer-a long beat that compensates for a shorter beat which contains either an atrial or ventricular premature contraction supraventricular tachycardia - Answer-rate of 150-250 BMP, narrow QRS complex paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia - Answer-sudden attacks of rapid heartbeats atrial fibrillation - Answer-irregular and rapid ventricular rate atrial flutter - Answer-atrial contractions are regular but rapid, 200-320 BPM junctional rhythms - Answer-cardiac dysrhythmia in which the ectopic pacemaker is in the area of the AV junction premature ventricular contractions (PVC) - Answer-premature contraction of the heart that is independent of the normal rhythm and arises in response to an impulse in the ventricle multifocal premature ventricular contractions (PVCS) - Answer-PVCs for which there are two or more ectopic foci that generate PVCs of different configurations run of couplets - Answer-3 or more pvcs ventricular tachycardia - Answer-140-200 bpm, wide QRS complex with no p waves ventricular fibrillation - Answer-contractions of ventricle muscle fibers due to rapid excitation of myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the ventricle asystole - Answer-flatlinepulseless electrical activity - Answer-when a normal rhythm appears on ekg screen although there is no contraction of the heart 3 R to identifying abnormal ekg - Answer-rhythm, rate, regularity AV block - Answer-a microscopic collection of heart muscle fibers involved in the electrical activity of the heart emphysema - Answer-enlargement of the alveolar sac in the lungs, trouble getting oxygen dyspnea - Answer-breathlessness or difficulty in breathing, usually associated with heavy cigarette smoking corticosteroids - Answer-steroids produced by the adrenal cortex and involved in in body's response to stress and anti-inflammatory purposes glucocortcoids - Answer-hormone that responds to stress bronchitis - Answer-temporary inflammation of bronchial tubes
