100
SA Node
What is located in the upper right corner of the atrium?
100
About the size of a human fist.
What is the size of a human heart?
100
Represents the end of ventricular conduction and the beginning of recovery; a change may indicate MI
What is ST segment?
100
The amount of blood pumped out of a ventricle after one contraction
What is stroke volume?
100
Continuous information about heart's electrical activity to monitor cardiac status.
What is telemetry?
200
Extends from the Bundle Branches into the Endocardium and into the myocardial tissue.
What is purkinje fibers?
200
Located between the left atria and left ventricle
What is mitral valve?
200
2nd Degree type 2 heartblock
What rhythm has a dropped QRS?
200
Commonly used for routine monitoring and is useful for detecting sinus and atrial arrhythmia.
What is lead II?
300
Main function is to delay impulses by 0.04 secounds to keep the ventricles from contraction too quickly.
What is the AV node
300
The 4 valves of the heart.
What is the tricuspid, mitral,aortic,& pulmonic?
300
Normal sinus rhythm
What is Regular heart rate between 60-100 beats per minute?
300
The period of the cardiac cycle when both the atria and ventricles are contracting.
What is Systole?
300
Direction that time is measured on telemetry strip.
What is Horizontal?
400
located between left & right bundle branches and AV node.
What is Bundle of His
400
The muscular wall of the heart consisting mainly of cardiac muscle.
What is myocardium?
400
Premature Ventricular Contraction
What is a relatively common event where the heartbeat is initiated by Purkinje fibres in the ventricles rather than by the sinoatrial node
400
The period when neither the ventricles or atria are contracting.
What is diastole?
400
First small wave seen on cardiac strip.
What is p-wave?
500
Please state the correct path of electrical impulses through the heart.
What is SA,AV,Bundle of His, Bundle Branches, Purkinje Fibers?
500
The sac that surrounds the heart.
What is pericardium?
500
Atrial Flutter
What is the "saw tooth" or "picket fence" appearance of waveforms before QRS
500
The amount of blood the heart pumps in one minute.
What is cardiac output?
500
May be seen with excessive moving; the baseline appears wavy, bumpy and tremulous.
What is artifact?
