Anatomy
Name one of the four layers of the heart
endocardium, myocardium, epicardium
An electronic device that provides electrical stimuli to heart muscle
Simple noninvasive test that measures the heart's electric activity
ECG or EKG
Fast heartbeat exceeding more than 100 beats per minute
Tachycardia
Device used to auscultate heart
Stethoscope
Name one of the four chambers of the heart
right atrium,right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
Percent of end of diastolic volume ejected with each heartbeat
ejection fraction
Measures how well your heart functions during excercise
Excercise stress test
Slow heartbeat less than 60 beats per minute
Bradycardia
Often described as a lub dub sound
Normal heart sounds
Name one of the atrioventricular valves
tricuspid and mitral
The amount of blood pumped by the ventricle in liters per minute
cardiac output
Vasodilating agents are given to mimic exercise
Pharmacological stress test
Regular rhythm of a health heart
Pulse point on the chest that gives the most accurate reading of hear rate
Apical pulse
Where is the SA node located
right atrium
The amount of blood pumped ejected with each heartbeat
Stroke Volume (SV)
Noninvasive ultrasound used to measure ejection fraction
Electrocardiogram
A life-threatening rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood, a shockable rhythm
Ventricullar fibrillation
Whooshing or swishing noise
murmur
Where is the AV node located
right atrium
The formula used to calculate cardiac output
CO=SV x HR
Insertion of thin flexible into the blood vessel and threads though heart
Cardiac Catheterization
Rhythm with an absence of electrical activity,often called "flatline"
Systole
