What's The Rhythm
Ya Gotta Know
100
Location of the heart, space between lungs in chest
MEDIASTINUM
100
Fibers in the ventricles that transmit impulses to the right and left ventricles, causing them to contract
PURKINJE FIBERS
100
Valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
TRICUSPID VALVE
100
Irregular rhythm with narrow QRS and no P wave
afib
100
NAME THE ECTOPY
BIGEMINY PVC
200
Fast, different P shapes
MULTIFOCAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA
200
This illness weakens the valves between the chambers of the heart; it can require heart surgery and result in death
RHEUMATIC FEVER
200
Prevent back flow of blood
VALVES
200
Name the rhythm:
atrial fibrillation
200
Blood leaves which ARTERY to go to the LUNGS?
pulmonary artery
300
Myocardial tissue has death to area because of insufficient blood flow
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
300
Valve positioned between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
PULMONARY VALVE
300
Widening of blood vessels
VASODILATION
300
3 P WAVE SHAPES
IRREGULAR
NARROW QRS
HR > 100
MAT, MULTIFOCAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA
300
Where does blood from the lungs enter the heart?
pulmonary vein
400
Also called Bicuspid
Entrance valve
Between left atrium and left ventricle
Has two cusps
MITRAL VALVE
400
What the heck is the problem here?
PAC
400
Lower chambers of the heart
VENTRICLES
400
NAME THE CIRCLED ITEM:
COUPLET PVC
400
What is measured along the vertical axis of the EKG?
voltage
500
Sound of problem with valves closing
MURMUR
500
Name that ectopic beat
PVC
500
Narrowing of blood vessels
VASOCONSTRICTION
500
This atrial rhythm can be regular or irregular and has a sawtooth pattern to its waves
ATRIAL FLUTTER
500
For 300 extra points, list the blood flow through the heart, with AT LEAST 12 steps. Blood enters the heart through:
SVC / IVC > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle >
pulmonary valve > pulmonary trunk > pulmonary arteries > (LUNGS) >
pulmonary veins > left atrium > bicuspid valve > left ventricle >
aortic valve > aorta > out to body
