potassium and calcium - answerthe two electrolytes needed in order for the heart to
function normally
acute myocardial infarction - answerPACs are rarely dangerous, but in a patient with
this condition, it can serve as an early sign or heart failure or electrolyte imbalance.
downward - answeras an electrical current travels to a negative pole on an ECG, the
waveform deflects in which direction?
late ventricular depolarization - answerwhat does the S wave represent on the ECG
tracing?
5 - answerhow many leads does a 24 hour holter monitor have?
right atrium OR right ventricle - answera single chamber pacemaker has one lead into
which of the two chambers of the heart?
many different foci - answerthe patient is experiencing VFIB, where do the electrical
impulses come from?
lead II, III, AVF - answeron a 12 lead ECG, where would we look when trying to assess
for AJR?
pre-cardiac transplant patient - answerWhen is a biventricular pacer used?
PR interval - answerWhat part of the ECG tracing starts with the atrial depolarization
and ends with ventricular depolarization?
0.36-0.44 seconds - answerwhat is the normal QT interval length?
medical history, meds, patient id, diagnostic results, date and time of test, symptoms
and reason for test, informed consent docs, patient instructions - answerwhat should the
ECG tech include in the patients chart entry?
, hyperkalemia, deep relaxation, increased intracranial pressure, valsalva maneuver,
hypothyroidism, hypothermia, sleep, glaucoma, carotid sinus massage, vomiting,
cardiac disease, certain drugs. - answerbradycardia can be caused by?

med effect, dysphonia, altered mental status, speech ability, foreign language, time
constraint, inability to meet face to face, illness, racial/cultural differences, CVA,
psychological illness. NOT SERUM GLUCOSE LEVEL - answerwhat are the barriers in
patient-doctor communication?
