Cardiac

QuestionAnswer
The heart is contained within closed cavity called the ___________ Mediastinum
Heart rate below 40-60 beats per minute. (Abnormally slow, below 60 beats per min) Bradycardia
Fast heart rate, usually more than 120 beats per minute | treated with pacemaker Tachycardia
Heart rate of 240 to 450 beats per minute Atrial Flutter
Chaotic disorganized stimulation of the ventricles that does not pump the blood Ventricular Fibrillation
Treated with cardiac ablation Ventricular Fibrillation
Chaotic, disorganized stimulation of the atrium that prevents atrial contraction (which helps fill the ventricle with blood) Atrial fibrillation
Uncoordinated muscular activity in the heart muscle, which results in quivering rather than pumping action Fibrillation
reduced blood supply to tissue, which may be the result of obstruction within the blood vessels or external pressure, which acts as a tourniquet Ischemia
Device that produces electrical impulses that stimulates the heart, process is called ___________________ Pacing the Heart
The Sinoatrial (SA) node initiates the cardiac cycle and is sometimes called the heart's ________________ Pacemaker
An artificial pacemaker is implanted in the body to correct cardiac arrythmia caused by _________________________ disease of the conduction system
Cardioplegia solution is used to ________________________ stop the heart's pumping action
During coronary artery bypass surgery, the surgeon occludes the ascending aorta and inserts the indwelling catheter for infusion of ____________________ cardioplegic solution and venting of air
Cardiac catheterization is an ________________ procedure and involves insertion of a cardiac catheter into the heart chambers and large vessels via a peripheral artery or vein. Interventional radiology
Outer layer of the heart Epicardium
Middle layer of the heart Myocardium
Inner layer of the heart Endocardium
The Mitral (bicuspid) valve is located between the ____________ and ______________ LEFT ATRIUM | LEFT VENTRICLE
Tricuspid valve located on the ___________ of the heart between the ventricle and the atrium right side
The aortic valve maintains one-way blood flow from the __________ to the Aorta Left Ventricle
Anatomical position of the heart in the body Middle of the chest | slightly behind and to the left of the breastbone
Which part of the heart is responsible for pumping blood into the ascending aorta? Left Ventricle
The most common incision used for surgical procedures of the heart and great vessels in the Thoracic cavity Median Sternotomy
During Aortic valve replacement a _________________ incision is most commonly made to open the aorta. Transverse
A midline incision from the sternal notch 2-3" below the xiphoid is called a ________________ Median Sternotomy
Orthotopic transplantation involves ___________________________ replacing one heart with another
__________________ demonstrates movement of blood through the valves and can be used to measure ejection fraction and end systolic and end diastolic volumes Ventricle Angiograph
The phase of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract s called ________________ diastole
2 Classifications of aneurisms are ___________ and ________________ Saccular | Fusiform
An electronic cardiac device used in patients who are susceptible to ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia is an ______________________ Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
During coronary artery bypass surgery, the surgeon occludes the ascending aorta and inserts the indwelling catheter for infusion of __________________________ Cardioplegic solution and venting of air
Removal of the native heart and replacement with a donor heart is indicated for patients with __________________ Cardiac disease. End Stage
__________________ is a procedure to increase blood flow to the heart in patients whom bypass surgery or medical management is not feasible. Trans Myocardial Revascularization
The phase of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract is called _________________ Diastole
The ICD may be implanted through thoracotomy or a subxiphoid or median sternotomy incision, although most are inserted _____________ Transvenously
Currette used during cardiac surgery Cobb Currette
The coronary artery is opened with a #11 knife blade (or beaver blade), and the incision is extended with Dietrich or fine _________ coronary scissors Potts
The Rumel tourniquet, commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, is a short length of rubber tubing either commercially prepared or cut from a straight ________ urinary catheter Robinson
Absence of a heartbeat; cardiac standstill _____________ Bradycardia
Lidocaine 1% is commonly used in the treatment of __________ Atrial Fibrillation
Treated with Cardiac Ablation __________________ Ventricular Fibrillation
Treated with defibrillator Atrial Fibrillation
Heart rate over 120 beats per minute _____________ Ventricular Tachycardia
Heart rate 240 to 450 beats per minute _____________ Atrial Flutter
Located on the right side of the heart between the ventricle and the atrium _________ right ventricle
pumps oxygenated blood to the body _____________ Left ventricle
Between the left atrium and left ventricle ______________ bicuspid (mitral) valve
A diseased Mitral valve is replaced to prevent blood from regurgitating here _________________ Left Atrium
Replaced with a prosthetic valve through right atriotomy ___________ Tricuspid valve
Received deoxygenated blood from the body ____________ Right Atrium
Connected to the pulmonary artery by the pulmonary valve ___________ Right Ventricle
Disease may be caused by rheumatic heart disease ____________ Bicuspid (mitral) valve
