Parts of the Heart
This is known as the contraction phase.
what is systole?
The BPM is under 60
What is sinus bradycardia?
The atrial depolarization
What is P wave?
These symptoms indicates aortic stenosis and poses a safety concern
Dizziness, syncope
What are C-reative protein (CRP) & (ESR) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The ventricular depolarization
What is the QRS complex?
The potential cause of valvular disease
What is endocarditis?
This procedure is commonly used to drain the excess fluid in pericardial effusion.
What is pericardiocentesis ?
The main function is to pump blood
what are ventricles
The beat has an Irregular pulse, no PR intervals
What is atrial fibrillation aka A-Fib?
ventricular repolarization
What is T wave?
The common symptom for mitral valve stenosis and nursing intervention
What is monitor for left heart failure and shortness of breath ?
The ST segments being elevated can be an indication of....
What is CAD ECG findings.
what is preload, afterload, & contractility
This beat comes with P waves hidden and may cause fluttering in the chest
what are premature atrial contractions aka PACs?
The time for ventricular repolarization to complete
What is QT interval?
The ventricles do not fill properly and the blood is not ejected properly
what is coronary heart failure or CHF?
The treatment for Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
What is vagal maneuvers, adenosine
The main function is to delay impulses
What is the atrioventricular (AV) node?
The beat causes delayed conduction in the AV
what is 1st degree heart block?
This follows ventricular depolarization before the start of ventricular repolarization
what is ST segment?
