1 normal side effects of NTG 2 electric conduction of the heart
3 LDL 4 T wave
Don't know?
Terms in this set (85)
electric conduction of the heart SA node -> AV node -> bundle of His -> Purjinke fiber
what does synchronization of the the ventricles to fill completely before ventricular
electric conduction of the heart ejection, maximizing cardiac output
allow?
P wave atrial depolarization
, QRS complex ventricular depolarization
T wave ventricular repolarization
preload degree of stretch of the cardiac muscle fibers at the
end of diastole
contractility ability of the cardiac muscle to shorten in response
to electrical impulse
after load the resistance to ejection of blood from the ventricle,
arteriole vasoconstricition
ejection fraction the percent of end diastolic volume ejected with
each heartbeat
clinical manifestations of decreased -chest pain
cardiac output -dyspnea
-peripheral edema and weight gain
-fatigue
-dizziness
-changes in LOC
modifiable risk factors lifestyle factors that can be changed to reduce risk
non modifiable risk factors things that cannot be changed like age, family
history, race
LDL primary transporter of cholesterol and triglycerides
into the cell
what does an increase in LDL cause? increases deposition of cholesterol into arterial walls
which increases risk for CVD
LDL goal < 100 mmHg
HDL transports cholesterol towards excretion
