Question
Answer
Cardiac output (CO)   Blood ejected by a ventricle in one minute   Presence of artheromas in large blood vessels is a sign of what   Atherosclerosis  
🗑
Stroke volume (SV)   Volume of blood pumped out of ventricle/contraction   LDL   Bad Cholesterol  
🗑
Preload   Amount of blood delivered to heart by venous return   Good Cholesterol   HDL  
🗑
Afterload   Force required to eject blood from ventricles Determined by peripheral resistance in arteries   A deficit of oxygen to meet myocardial needs occurs from   Angina Pectoris  
🗑
ADH increases blood volume by   H2O reabsorption through kidney, increasing blood volume   Angina Pectoris treatment would be   rest and administration of coronary dilators  
🗑
Aldosterone increases blood volume by   by increasing reabsorption of Na+ and H2O, increased blood volume increases BP   Obstruction of the coronary artery causes what to happen   Myocardial Infarction  
🗑
Digoxin   Treatment for heart failure Antidysrhythmic drug for atrial dysrhythmias   Warning signs of a heart attack include   Feeling of pressure in chest, Sudden shortness of breath, Anxiety  
🗑
Atrial contraction   depolarizes in P wave   ECG measures what   conductivity of heart  
🗑
Ventricle repolarizations happens in what wave   T wave   What would be a good treatment for a myocardial infarction   oxygen therapy  
🗑
Ventricular contraction and Atrial Repolarization happens in what wave   QRS Wave   Coronary Heart Disease can lead to   heart failure, serious arrhythmias, sudden death  
🗑
What centers control heart rate and contractions   cardiac center in medulla   Deviation from normal cardiac rate or rhythm, from damage to conduction system or systemic   Cardiac Arrythmias  
🗑
Beta-adrenergic receptors   block increases in rate and force of contraction   Reduced efficiency of pumping in Arrythmias are due to   Rapid heart rate that prevents adequate filling  
🗑
Factors that Increase Heart Rate   Body Temp, Fever, Excersize   A heart block occurs in   AV node  
🗑
Cardiac cycle   alternating sequence of diastole (relaxation) and systole (contraction)   Congestive Heart Failure   Occurs when heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet metabolic needs  
🗑
Exchanging of O2 and CO2 in the lungs is what circulation   Pulmonary   Left sided heart failure causes   less blood reaching organs – “forward” effect – congestion pulmonary circulation  
🗑
Exchanging of nutrients and wastes between blood and cells is what circulation   Systemic   Right sided heart failure causes   less blood to left side heart, backup effect, congestion, in systemic circulation  
🗑
Vasoconstriction is increased by what two hormones   Epinephrine and Norepinephrine   Congenital Heart Defects   develop during 1st 8 weeks of embryonic life  
🗑
Antihypertensive drugs   lower blood pressure   Valvular Defects cause   Congenital Heart Defects  
🗑
What kind of drug would be given to someone with high blood pressure and CHF   Diuretic   What can happen as a result to open heart surgery   Pericarditis  
🗑
Diuretics   Remove excess sodium and/or water   Rheumatic Fever results from   an untreated infection that leads to acute systemic inflammation  
🗑
Degenerative changes in small arteries and arterioles leads to what   Arteriosclerosis   A friction rub is an effect of   rubbing of outer layer of tissue against walls due to pericarditis  
🗑
A common high blood pressure disorder is   Hypertension   Hypertension is caused by   arterial vasoconstriction  
🗑
ACE inhibitors, Reduction of sodium intake, Weight reduction are effective treatments for what disorder   Hypertension   Three mechanisms that increase CO are   Increased contractility, increase venous return, increased blood volume  
🗑
Which disorder causes a more severe and persistent chest pain: Angina Pectoris or Mycordial Infarction   Myocardial Infarction   Three causes for dysrhythmias include   inflammation, electrolyte imbalance, hypoxia  
🗑
Why is untreated hypertension dangerous   because congestive heart failure or strokes may occur      
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
