Term
cardiac arrythmia
Definition
SA node has an abnormal rate and rhythym it is called ___ ____.
Term
acidosis
Definition
causes depression of nerve to all muscle cells
Term
alkalosis
Definition
causes hypersensitivity in cells
Term
thyrotoxicosis
Definition
increases the amount of T3 and T4
Term
digitalis
Definition
this is a drug that is used to decrease HR but if you use too much of it an arrythmia could occur
Term
sinus tachycardia
Definition
on EKG, normal p,qrs complex, t, but abnormal R-R interval (close together)
Term
sinus bradycardia
Definition
on EKG, normal p,qrs complex, t, but abnormal R-R interval(expanded)
Term
10 BPM
Definition
if you increase the core temperature by 1 degree Farenheit how much does the HR increase by?
Term
18 BPM
Definition
if you increase the core temperature by 1 degree celcius how much does the HR increase by?
Term
lower
Definition
If you increase CR you steal more blood for diastole and ____ the duration of relaxation time
Term
respiratory arrythymia
Definition
during this type of arrythmia (-) pressure puts stress on the cardiac system
Term
SA nodal block
Definition
• NON-FUNCTIONING SA NODE
• NO P-WAVES
• SLOW HEART RATE
• A-V NODAL RHYTHM
- R-R interval expanded
Term
Interventricular block
Definition
impulse transmission block in purkinje fibers and is an electrical alternate and pacemaker is normal to abnormal in this type of block
Term
premature atrial contraction
Definition
this tyep of contraction shows that the SA node is not the pacemaker, compensatory pulse, pulse deficit, and a bigeminal pulse and can cause an inverted p wave and the qrs complexes can be next to each other but period will be extended
Term
ectopic focus development
Definition
CAN BE CAUSED BY:
• MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA
• CALCIFICATION
• TOXIC IRRITATION
Term
premature ventricular contraction
Definition
• NO P-WAVES
• PROLONGED QRS DURATION
• HIGH QRS VOLTAGE
• INVERTED T-WAVES and the main cause is ischemia (speed is much faster)
Term
atrial paroxysmal tachycardia
Definition
FRIGHTENING
– SUPRAVENTRICULAR
– NORMAL QRS – T COMPLEX
– DISTORTED P-WAVES
Term
ventricular proxysmal tachycardia
Definition
- A SERIES OF PVCs
- NO P-WAVES, treated with quinidine and lidocaine
Term
atrial fibrilation
Definition
Lead II abnormality, a bunch of abnormally distorted p waves
Term
atrial flutter
Definition
multiple p waves and the p's are the same
Term
ventricular fibrilation
Definition
QRS complex is all over the map
*Very dangerous, can be DEADLY (blood output is 0)
Term
carotid sinus
Definition
baroreceptor sensitive to high BP
Term
carotid body
Definition
chemoreceptor sensitive to low BP
Term
1000, 1
Definition
defibrillation is ___V/__msec
Term
2.5cm^2, 2000cm^2
Definition
what is the cross sectional diameter at the aorta? what is the cross sectional diameter at the capillary area?
Term
64%
Definition
percent of blood volume that will be in the veins, venules, and venous sins
Term
MABP
Definition
what is responsible for the movement of blood through the vascular system?
Term
93 mmHg
Definition
what is the normal reading for MABP
Term
10-55mg
Definition
what is the mmHg usually present in the capillaries
Term
DP+1/3(Ps-Pd)
Definition
what is the equation for MABP
Term
100
Definition
MABP= ? when it goes from the aorta into the right atrium
Term
0 mmHg
Definition
what is the right atrial pressure
Term
90 mmHg
Definition
what is the systemic pressure gradient equal to
Term
15
Definition
what is the mmHg for MPAP
Term
7-9 mmHg
Definition
what is the pulmonary pressure in the capillaries
Term
10mmHg
Definition
what is the pressure of the pulmonary gradient equal to?
Term
change in p= q*r
Definition
what is ohms law?
Term
anaphalytic shock
Definition
severe vasodilation so that resistance greatly decreases leading to a decrease in BP
Term
increase
Definition
narrowing of the aorta leads to an increase in velocity, flow becomes turbulent, which requires pressure to do what?
Term
turbulent
Definition
if Reynold's # is > 2000 blood flow is ?
Term
r^4
Definition
if there is an increase in the diameter of a tube, you increase the conductance by how much?
Term
laminar
Definition
if reynolds # is <2000 then the flow is
