What pharmacotherapy has been proven to reduce mortality in patients with aortic valve stenosis?
None
100
Often described as a heavy, tight feeling in your chest. You may also have a burning, choking, or constricting feeling that may spread to your arms, shoulders, or neck.
What is angina?
100
Asystole, state of no cardiac electrical activity, as such no contractions of the myocardium and no cardiac output or blood flow are present. need to carry out _____?
CPR
100
The point at which the QRS complex meets the ST wave.
what is J-point?
100
The accumulation of calcium, salts in a body tissue. It normally occurs in the formation of bone, but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue
What is calcification?
200
A section of aorta from a human donor, with its aortic valve intact, is used to replace the aortic valve and a section of the ascending aorta.
what is aortic homograft?
200
An uncomfortable feeling that your heart is beating rapidly or irregularly.
What is palpitations?
200
Multiple waves appear between each QRS complex and we cannot ascertain whether they are P or T waves
what is atrial flutter?
200
Commonly used for routine monitoring and is useful for detecting sinus and atrial arrhythmias.
What is lead II
200
Restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and may also affect the pressure in the left atrium.
what is aortic stenosis?
300
First line therapy for patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis.
Aortic valve replacement (AVR).
300
Often described as an intense tightening in the chest or feeling of suffocation.
What is shortness of breath?
300
In junctional rhythm the sinoatrial node does not control the heart's rhythm - this can happen in the case of a block in conduction somewhere along the pathway. When this happens, the heart's atrioventricular node takes over as the____?
pacemaker
300
PR depression and ST elevation indicates?pericarditis
300
The aortic valve consists of three tightly fitting, triangular-shaped flaps of tissue called leaflets. Some children are born with an aortic valve that has only one (unicuspid), two (bicuspid) or four (quadricuspid) leaflets — not three
What is congenital heart defect?
400
Is a procedure that restores blood flow to your heart muscle by diverting the flow of blood around a section of a blocked artery in your heart.
What is coronary bypass surgery?
400
Having a sensation of whirling and a tendency to fall; giddy; vertiginous.
What is dizziness?
400
Represents the end of ventricular conduction and the beginning of recovery; a change may indicate MI
what is ST-segment?
400
May be seen with excessive moving; the baseline appears wavy, bumpy and tremulous.
What is artifact?
400
Noises are due to blood passing through abnormal valves, or to abnormal movement of valves.
What is heart murmur?
500
what are the two categories of aortic valve replacement?(AVR)
1.) Tissue (biological) valves
2.) mechanical valves
500
This is caused by the decrease in total peripheral resistance that occurs as blood is shunted to muscles during exertion along with the cardiac output not being able to increase adequately to compensate due to the fixed aortic valve area from aortic stenosis resulting in decreased cerebral perfusion.
Fainting (syncope)
500
First small wave seen on cardiac strip.
What is p-wave.
500
An ectopic ventricular beat that occurs without a preceding P wave.
What is a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) ?
500
Can detect the underlying rate and rhythm mechanism of the heart.
What is Electrocardiogram?
