Descriptions to identify an MI
Give this one a try later!
1. the type (NSTEMI, STEMI)
2. Location of injury to ventricular wall (anterior, inferior, posterior, or
lateral)
3. Point in time within process of infarction (acute, evolving, or old)
,Torsades de pointes
Give this one a try later!
- A lethal ventricular dysrhythmia
- Associated with long QT interval
- Treated with magnesium
Fibrous plaques (atherosclerotic lesions)
Give this one a try later!
White to white-yellow; composed of smooth muscle cells, collagen fibers,
plasma, and lipids; found in main arteries and are progressive
Endocarditis primary symptoms
Give this one a try later!
fever & heart murmur
Additional are petechiae, Olsner nodes, Janeway lesions, Roth spots,
headache, stroke, HF, tachycardia, cardio/splenomegaly
Propranolol
, Give this one a try later!
- Prototype class II antiarrhythmic (beta-blockers)
- to slow the ventricular rate of contraction in atrial flutter and atrial
fibrillation
- decrease HR & BP
Atrial fibrillation
Give this one a try later!
- rate is 350-600 bpm
Pericarditis assessment
Give this one a try later!
- Evaluate patient in various positions
- presence of pericardial friction rub (hallmark sign) (creaky/scratch, louder
at exhalation)
- pt has to sit, lean forward, and hold their breath for rub to be heard
T wave
