Structure & Function
Name this blood that flows from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
What is coronary blood flow?
This sound represents the closing of the semilunar valves.
What is S2?
Too much of this mineral can lead to muscle twitches and cramps, followed by muscular weakness and a slow, irregular heart rate, weak pulses, and reduced blood pressure.
What is hyperkalemia?
What are venography studies?
Name this medication, also known as a water pill, that treats hypertension.
What is a diuretic?
Name this middle serous membrane that lines the fibrous layer of the heart.
What is the parietal pericardium?
The aortic area can be heard in this location.
What is the second ICS, right of the sternum?
Name this enzyme may rise 4 to 6 hours after cardiac cells are damaged and peaks in 15 to 20 hours, then usually returns to normal in 24 to 36 hours.
What is CK-MB?
Name this diagnostic test that may identify abnormalities related to conduction, rate, rhythm, heart chamber enlargement, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and electrolyte imbalances.
What is an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
Name this medication that inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending portion of the loop of Henle.
What are loop diuretics?
Name the end product that coronary circulation provides throughout the myocardium.
What is oxygenated blood?
List all the heart's auscultation points.
What are the Aortic, Pulmonic, Erb's point, Tricuspid, and Mitral?

Meals
Name this amino acid that is reduced in the blood when eating green leafy vegetables and grains fortified with folic acid, as well as vitamin B.
What is homocysteine?
Name this ultrasound procedure that records the motion of the heart structures, including the valves and chambers, as well as the heart size, shape, and position.
What is an echocardiogram?
Name these medications that inhibit the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the early distal tubule of the nephron.
What are thiazides and related diuretics?
Name the end product that coronary circulation returns to the right atrium via the coronary sinus.
What is deoxygenated blood?
What is S4?
Name the condition when there is too little of this essential mineral, causing cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, and tachycardias.
What is hypomagnesmia?
Name this diagnostic tool, which is useful for identifying ischemia and heart damage as well as other conditions affecting the heart.
What is a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?
Name the side effects caused by OTC diuretics.
What are dehydration and electrolyte imbalances?
This valve prevents the backflow of blood into the left atrium during ventricular systole.
What is the mitral valve (aka AV valve or bicuspid valve)?
Name the condition that occurs from inflammation of the pericardium.
What is pericardial friction rub?
Lipids include these three additional biological molecules.
What are triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids?
What is cardiac catheterization?
Name the electrolyte imbalance that would develop for a patient taking a loop or thiazide diuretic.
What is hypokalemia?
