100
This artery supplies blood to the inferior wall of the left ventricle.
What is the right coronary artery?
100
This term describes the contraction of the heart.
What is systole?
100
These are ions with a positive charge?
What is cation.
100
This is the normal pacemaker of the heart.
What is sinus node?
100
This is an imbalance of coronary supply and demand.
What is ischemia?
200
This valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle.
What is the mitral valve?
200
This occurs during ventricular diastole and contributes up to 30% of cardiac output.
What is atrial kick?
200
These three cations are responsible for depolarization?
What are Potassium, Sodium, and Calcium.
200
Rate of discharge for this pacemaker is 20-40 bpm.
What is purkinje system?
200
These are three access sites for an EP study.
What are the Femoral, basilic, internal jugular vein?
300
These veins are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
What is pulmonary vein?
300
These components comprise stroke volume.
What are preload, afterload, contractility?
300
The ability of cardiac pacemaker cells to generate their own spontaneous electrical impulses.
What is automaticity?
300
The pause at this location allows for atrial kick.
What is AV node?
300
This patient may not tolerate rate responsive pacing.
What is rate related angina?
400
This structure in the heart usually closes soon after birth.
What is foramen ovale?
400
This neurotransmitter is released by parasympathetic nervous system.
What is acetylcholine?
400
This happens during phase 4 of the action potential.
What is the resting phase?
400
This portion of the conduction systems connects the right and left atrium.
What is Bachmans Bundle?
400
This drug is the most important in the setting of an acute MI.
What is asprin?
500
This electrical structure connects the right and left ventricle.
What is the moderator band?
500
This is the normal circulating blood volume ?
What is 5-8 liters.
500
What electrolyte deficiency results in torsades de pointes.
What is serum magnesium?
500
This is the accessory pathway for reentry in WPW.
What is the Bundle of Kent?
500
This cardiac glycoside has a positive inotropic effect.
What is digitalis?
