The cardiovascular system is made up of how many systems?

2 systems - the systemic and pulmonary systems

100

Normal O2 sat of the right heart is approximately this percentage.

75%

100

This means the necrosis or death of the myocardial cells.

infarction

100

This is a factor that affects diastolic function.

wall thickening

100

Cardiac tamponade cannot be diagnosed if this is absent.

pericardial effusion

200

The heart, located in the thoracic cavity, has a top part called what and a bottom part called this.

Base and apex

200

A normal IVC diameter measures this.

1.2 to 2.3 cm

200

With this type of cardiomyopathy, there is a chance of sudden death among young adults.

hypertrophic

200

In addition to wall thickening, wall motion, and ventricular end diastolic pressure, this is another factor that affects diastolic function.

chamber size

200

With a diagnosis of cardiac tamponade, there must be a systolic collapse of this.

right atrial

300

Blood enters the heart into this through the vena cavas.

right atrium

300

Expiration or exhaling usually causes a decrease in these 3 things.

venous return, stroke volume, and cardiac output
300

This is categorized as heart failure with a preserved (or normal) EF.

diastolic heart failure

300

According to the diastolic function and dysfunction flow chart, an LA volume larger than this is a positive factor for diastolic dysfunction.

34ml/m(2)

300

A pulsed wave Doppler can be evaluated of these valves when assessing for cardiac tamponade.

mitral and tricuspid valves

400

During these stages, all 4 valves are closed.

IVCT and IVRT

400

The left heart is associated with this circulatory system.

systemic

400

This type of tumor is usually found in the heart attached to the intra-atrial septum on the left atrial side.

myxoma

400

For diastolic dysfunction, the tricuspid regurgitation must be over this amount.

2.8m/s or 280 cm/s

400

The IVC must be dilated with what percentage of collapse in order to consider cardiac tamponade.

greater than 50%

500

The apical view or window consists of how many different views?

four

500

Name the 3 layers of the heart.

epicardium, myocardium, endocardium

500
When the main artery (aorta) has a narrowing in the arch, it is often called this.

coarctation of the aorta

500

This is described as a failure of the ventricle to relax and allow normal filling.

diastolic dysfunction

500

In the presence of cardiac tamponade, there is usually a diastolic collapse of this.

right ventricle
