EKG FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE COMPLETE SOLUTION
Endocardium myocardium epicardium - What are the 3 layers of the heart wall?
Myocardium - Middle of the heart that contracts
Pulmonary veins - What carries oxygenated blood?
Atrium - upper chamber of the heart
Aortic and Pulmonic - What are the two semilunar valves? They have half moon shaped cusps
Automaticity, excitability, Conductivity contractility - primary characteristics of cardiac cells
Polarization - What describes cardiac cells at rest
S-A node - The normal pacemaker of the heart
Heart rate times stroke volume - cardiac output equals
Purkinje fibers function - Initiate electrical impulse and serve as pacemaker
Limbs and chest - 12 lead electrodes are applied to
Telemetry monitor - Monitor that allows patient activity
Compare Patient's pulse rate with monitor - To verify each heartbeat is being detected
Elevated - If an ST segment is 1 mm or more above the baseline it is considered what?
Won't be seen - If they leave comes off a patient's chest, the wave form
Hypertension and dyspnea - A patient with symptomatic sinus bradycardia at a pulse rate of 40 bpm
typically experience what?
Pacemaker - Treatment for symptomatic sick sinus syndrome?
Atrial tachycardia - Digoxin toxicity is the most common cause of what?
Valsalva maneuver or carotid sinus massage - What may be used to treat atrial tachycardia?
slower - When treating a patient with a atrial fibrillation you may find the radial pulse is______than the
apical pulse
Atrial and ventricles - Where in the chamber or the leads placed for dual chamber's
