Distended jugular veins indicates this type of central venous pressure
What is increased?
The primary consideration when preparing to administer thrombolytic therapy to a patient who is experiencing an MI is this.
What is a time since onset of symptoms?
The Dub sound is caused by this.
What are aortic and pulmonic valves closing?
Recording of the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac muscle is measured and recorded by this.
What is electrocardiography (EKG)?
High pressure causes these to open, ejecting blood out of the ventricles.
What are the semilunar valves (pulmonic and aortic valves)?
This endures for approximately two-thirds of the cardiac cycle, during which time ventricles fill.
What is the diastole?
What is traditional areas of auscultation?
Due to it's proximity to the heart, this pressure waves pulsation (pulse) coincides closely with ventricular systole.
What is the carotid artery pulse?
The interval that demonstrates the complete conduction cycle of the ventricles and varies with heart rate.
What is the QT interval?
