Location of the heart, space between lungs in chest
MEDIASTINUM
Fibers in the ventricles that transmit impulses to the right and left ventricles, causing them to contract
PURKINJE FIBERS
Valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
TRICUSPID VALVE
Irregular rhythm with narrow QRS and no P wave
afib
NAME THE ECTOPY
BIGEMINY PVC
Fast, different P shapes
MULTIFOCAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA
This illness weakens the valves between the chambers of the heart; it can require heart surgery and result in death
RHEUMATIC FEVER
Prevent back flow of blood
VALVES
Name the rhythm:
atrial fibrillation
Blood leaves which ARTERY to go to the LUNGS?
pulmonary artery
Myocardial tissue has death to area because of insufficient blood flow
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Valve positioned between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
PULMONARY VALVE
Widening of blood vessels
VASODILATION
3 P WAVE SHAPES
IRREGULAR
NARROW QRS
HR > 100
MAT, MULTIFOCAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA
Where does blood from the lungs enter the heart?
pulmonary vein
Also called Bicuspid
Entrance valve
Between left atrium and left ventricle
Has two cusps
MITRAL VALVE
What the heck is the problem here?
PAC
Lower chambers of the heart
VENTRICLES
NAME THE CIRCLED ITEM:
COUPLET PVC
What is measured along the vertical axis of the EKG?
voltage
Sound of problem with valves closing
MURMUR
Name that ectopic beat
PVC
Narrowing of blood vessels
VASOCONSTRICTION
This atrial rhythm can be regular or irregular and has a sawtooth pattern to its waves
ATRIAL FLUTTER
For 300 extra points, list the blood flow through the heart, with AT LEAST 12 steps. Blood enters the heart through:
SVC / IVC > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle >
pulmonary valve > pulmonary trunk > pulmonary arteries > (LUNGS) >
pulmonary veins > left atrium > bicuspid valve > left ventricle >
aortic valve > aorta > out to body
