What is an albumin deficiency called?
what is Hypoalbuminemia?
What is an extra heartbeat that starts in one of the heart's lower chambers? Appears as a wide and oddly shaped beat followed by a pause.
What is a Ventricular Premature Complex (VPC)?
What hormone regulates blood glucose levels? It's essential for managing conditions like diabetes mellitus (naming one of the two hormones is okay)
What is insulin and glucagon?
What does the P wave indicate?
What is atrial depolarization?
What drug is an anticholinergic? It increases the heart rate and is short acting (~1 hour)
What is atropine?
What is albumin?
What is a protein?
What is a rapid heart rhythm originating from the atria. Complexes appear narrow. P waves may be present but difficult to see.
What is Supraventicular Tachycardia (SVT)?
What hormone is released during stress? It stimulates heart action and increases blood glucose.
What is epinepherine?
What does the QRS indicate?
What is ventricle depolarization?
What drug is used to protect the heart (if hyperkalemic), treats hypocalcemia, strengthens heart contractions? Used to treat eclampsia or post op parathyroidectomy
What is Calcium Gluconate?
Where is albumin produced?
Where is the liver?
What arrhythmia occurs when some electrical signals from the atria do not reach the ventricles?
What is AV block? or 2nd degree AV block?
What hormone is produced primarily in the kidneys? It stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
What is erythropoietin?
What does the T wave indicate?
What is ventricle repolarization?
What medication is used to reduce acid build up in tissues?
What is Sodium Bicarbonate?
*~* DAD JOKE DOUBLE JEOPARDY*~* What was a more important invention than the first telephone?
The second one.
What arrhythmia occurs when the electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles are completely blocked? (usually requires a pacemaker to fix the electrical issue)
What is 3rd degree AV block?
What hormone regulates calcium and phsphorous levels in the blood?
What is the parathyroid hormone?
What is the heart's 'natural pacemaker'?
What is the SA node?
What mediation is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax the heart and blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the heart's workload? Treats AFib, atrial flutter or SVT
What is diltiazem?
What is albumin's main role in regulating fluid balance?
What is: it helps maintain osmotic pressure, drawing water into the the blood vessels
What arrhythmia occurs when the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly and rapidly?
What is atrial fibrillation?
What hormone (also known as the antidiuretic hormone - ADH) is a hormone that regulates the body's water balance, blood pressure and salt concentrartion?
What is vasopressin?
What is the 5 step pathway (cardiac conduction system) that a heart's electrical impulse travels through? (name all 5 parts of the pathway)
What is: SA node, AV node, Bundle of His, bundle branches, purkinje fibers?
