Anatomy & Blood Flow
This chamber pumps oxygenated blood to the body
left ventricle
This is the natural pacemaker of the heart
the SA node
Cardiac output equals heart rate X this
Normal adult resting heart rate
60-100 bpm
Peripheral edema commonly caused by this type of heart failure
Right-sided
This valve lies between the left atrium and left ventricle
Mitral (bicuspid) valve
The structure that delays the electrical impulse before it reaches the ventricles
The AV node
Normal cardiac output is approximately this range
4-8 L/min
This blood pressure number reflects ventricular contraction
Systolic pressure
Congestion or backflow through this structure leads to pulmonary manifestations
Pulmonary valve and artery
What is the correct order...
Right atrium lungs, right ventricle, pulmonary artery
Right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs
The normal heart rate generated by the SA node is:
60-100 bpm
This refers to the amount of blood returning to the heart
Preload
Pink frothy sputum is a manifestation of this
Left sided heart failure
Crackles, orthopnea, and dyspnea are manifestations of this condition.
Left-sided heart failure
These vessels carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
Pulmonary veins
This structure carries electrical impulses towards the ventricles
Bundle of His
Resistance ventricles overcome to pump blood
Afterload
Cool skin, confusion, and decreased urine output are signs of this
Decreased cardiac output
Weight gain of 4 lbs, in one day would suggest this
Fluid volume excess/overload
This is the only artery in the body that carries nonoxygenated blood
Pulmonary artery
Damage to the SA would require this implant
Pacemaker
5,600 mL/min (5.6 L/min)
Assessment of this vital sign prior to digoxin administration
Apical pulse
JVD, altered LFTs, and hepatomegaly are indicative of this condition
Right-sided heart failure
