100
The ventricles fill most during this interval on the EKG.
What is the P-R interval?
100
The heart's natural pacemaker
What is the SA node
100
Valve clicks on Doppler waveforms represent this
What is IVCT and IVRT
100
This is the most common type of benign cardiac tumor.
What is myxoma?
100
This medication is used to reduce the rate and strength of the ventricular contraction.
What is a Beta Blocker
200
These vessels carry oxygenated blood to the myocardium.
What is the coronary arteries?
200
Atrial contraction corresponds to this portion of the EKG
What is the P wave?
200
WHen a murmur increases during auscultation, it is described as this.
What is crescendo?
200
Sonographic appearance of AS would include all of the following except this? Thickened aortic cusps, diastolic doming of the cusps, LV enlargement, increased peak systolic velocity.
What is diastolic doming? (doming of a stenotic valve occurs during valve opening. Aortic valve is open during systole)
200
This lab checks the patient's ability to clot appropriately.
What is D dimer?
300
This law states that the greater the load, the stronger the ventricular contraction.
What is the Frank Starling Law?
300
This Rhythm is
What is Atrial Fibrillation?
300
This leaflet is represented by the D to E excursion on M-mode.
What is the Anterior mitral valve leaflet?
300
This benign cardiac mass is usually located behind the RA.
What is a pericardial cyst?
300
This lab test is used to diagnose the severity of heart failure.
What is BNP?
400
This coronary artery would be obstructed if the RV free wall was akinetic.
What is the Right Coronary Artery (RCA)
400
This EKG represents
What is Ventricular tacycardia
400
MR can be documented from all the following views EXCEPT? Apical 4 chamber, Apical 3 chamber, PSAX at the level of the aorta, Subcostal, PLAX
What is the PSAX at the level of the aorta?
400
This is the most sensitive method of diagnosing a thickened pericardium.
What is Cardiac MR?
400
This medication is used to reduce the rate at which calcium is diffused in the myocytes.
What is calcium channel blocker?
500
The straining phase of the Valsalva maneuver causes a increase/decrease in venous return.
What is decrease?
500
A __________ in potassium level will cause the QRS complex to widen.
What is increased?
500
All of the following characteristics indicate pericarditis except? Wide Spread ST elevation on EKG, Increasing PCE, Pericardial friction rub, Typical chest pain.
What is Wide spread ST elevation elevation?
500
A tumor that originates in the kidney and travels to the heart via the IVC is considered this type of tumor.
What is a secondary malignant tumor?
500
Filling of the coronary arteries occurs during this phase of the cardiac cycle.
What is Ventricular diastole?
