DETAILED ANSWERS || 100% GUARANTEED PASS
<LATEST UPDATE>
afterload .......Answer.........the amount of resistance to ejection of
blood
from the ventricle, the second determination of stroke volume
AV node .......Answer.........located in right atrial wall near
tricuspid valve
cardiac outpur .......Answer.........amount of blood pumped by
each ventricle in liters per minute
,age 2 of 40
cardiac stress test .......Answer.........used to evaluate function of
the heart during a period of increased oxygen demand,
initiated by exercise or medication
diastole .......Answer.........period of ventricular relaxation
resulting ventricle filling
preload .......Answer.........degree of stretch of the cardiac muscles
at the end of diastole, when filling volume in the ventricles is the
highest and degree of stretch on muscle fibers is the greatest
pulmonary vascular resistance .......Answer.........resistance of
blood flow out of the right ventricle created by the pulmonary
circulatory system
S1 .......Answer.........closure of the atriovetricular - mitral and
tricuspid valves
,age 3 of 40
S2 .......Answer.........closure of semilunar valves
S3 .......Answer.........early diastole, abnormal, most often due to
volume overload associated with HF
S4 .......Answer.........late diastole, hypertrophy of the vntricle
SA - sinoatrial node .......Answer.........primary pacemaker
summation gallop .......Answer.........abnormal sound created by
the presence of S1 and S2
most muscular chamber of heart .......Answer.........left ventricle, it
must overcome high aortic and arterial pressure
Two types of valves .......Answer.........AV and semilunar
AV valve separate the atria from ventricle
.......Answer.........tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid)
, age 4 of 40
Tricuspid valve .......Answer.........separates the right atrium from
the right venricle
Mitral valve .......Answer.........left atrium and left ventricle
During diastole .......Answer.........tricuspid and mitral vale open,
blood in the atria flows into relaxed ventricles
semilunar valves .......Answer.........pulmonic and aortic valve
pulmonic valve .......Answer.........right ventricle and pulmonary
artery
aortic valve .......Answer.........left ventricle and aorta
when heart rate increases, diastolic time shortened which may
not allow myocardial perfusion .......Answer.........as a result,
patient at risk for myocardial ischemia during tachycardias
especially with CAD
