EKG's
This lab indicates myocardial injury
Troponin
this disorder is characterized by wet ulcers, skin that is dark, thick and hard, peripheral edema and varicose veins
Venous disease (PVD)
This electrolyte imbalance is associated with tall, peaked T waves and can progress to widened QRS complexes and cardiac arrest.
Hyperkalemia
This condition occurs when the heart cannot pump effectively, leading to symptoms like edema, crackles, and shortness of breath
Heart Failure
this condition is characterized by dry ulcers, pallor, cool skin, weak pulses
Arterial disease (PAD)
This electrolyte imbalance may lead to a shortened QT interval and increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
Hypercalcemia
This complication of untreated heart failure results in fluid backing up into the lungs, causing severe dyspnea and pink, frothy sputum
pulmonary edema
This term describes the amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in one contraction and is a key factor in cardiac output.
Stroke volume
This rhythm originates in the atria, produces a “sawtooth” pattern on ECG, and may have a regular or irregular ventricular rate.
atrial flutter
This ECG change—ST segment elevation—is most indicative of this acute cardiac event
myocardial infarction (STEMI)
This type of stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to a part of the brain
ischemic stroke
This life-threatening irregular rhythm produces no effective cardiac output and requires immediate defibrillation.
ventricular fibrillation
A patient presents with chest pain relieved by rest, caused by temporary myocardial ischemia without permanent damage—this condition is known as this.
stable angina
A patient presents with sudden unilateral weakness, facial droop, and slurred speech—this tool is used for rapid stroke assessment in the clinical setting.
