What is the most common way someone has an MI? Plaque rupture
Most deadly MI: Septal, Anterior, Lateral
What class medication is Diltiazem? Calcium channel blocker
Transient, episodic chest discomfort resulting from myocardial ischemia: Stable angina
TAA can be seen in what leads on an ECG? aVR and posterior leads
ST depression, hyperacute T waves, and flipped T waves are indicative of: Ischemia
ST elevation on an EKG is indicative of: Injury

SA node fails to initiate impulse; multiple dropped beats and cadence is thrown off when it starts back up again: Sinus Arrest
Spodick’s sign is identified on a 12-lead ECG by the presence of: Downsloping of the TP segment
The presence of a tall R wave and ST segment depression in lead V2 signifies: Active injury to the posterior wall of the heart
The residual pressure in the aorta that the left ventricle must overcome to eject blood out of the heart is known as: Afterload pressure
A run of three or more PVCs in a row is known as a: Run of V Tach

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
