Cardio Anatomy 1
The part of the heart where the aorta and pulmonary trunk arise
Base
The nose, oral cavity, pharynx and larynx make up this part of the respiratory system.
Upper respiratory tract
A therapist needs to know this zone to provide an effective training program.
Minimum intensity
The medical term for a bluish skin color at the skin, nail bed, & lips, indicating <85% arterial oxygen saturation.
Cyanosis
This subjective activity intensity measurement scale ranges from 6-20 and should correlate with HR if multiplied by 10.
Borg Rate of Perceived Exertion
This is ~5 cm below the medial sternal ends of the clavicles at the level of the 2nd rib
Sternal angle or "Angle of Louis"
This is the medical term for "voicebox."
Larynx
This formula is used to determine age predicted maximal heart rate.
220- age (years) = Maximal HR
The thick & protien filled swelling that appears in distal extremities and remains indented with pressure application.
Pitting Edema
Other physiological parameters (BP, RR, temperature, SpO2%%) should be quickly evaluated if this fails to happen as a normal response to exercise.
Increased Heart Rate
Pericardium
There are this many generations of the structures within the tracheobronchial tree.
23
This self-paced field assessment measures the distance covered by the patient in a predetermined period of time.
Six-Minute Walk Test
The backflow/regurgitation of blood through a valve in the heart.
Murmur
An increase in systolic pressure during normal exercise should yield this type of response with increasing work level.
Linear
This visceral layer of the heart contains the coronary arteries.
Epicardium
This type of pressure in the minute space between the membranes keeps the lungs inflated.
Negative
Men that are older than 45 and women older than 55 OR have 2 or more cardio risk factors fall into this exercise risk category.
Moderate Risk
The sharp & sudden onset of leg pain with walking.
Claudication
A progressive fall in systolic pressure of 10-15 mm Hg or significant change in cardiac rhythm during exercise would be considered this and warrant termination of activity.
Inappropriate exercise response.
This artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart.
Pulmonary artery
The primary function of the respiratory system is to conduct air for gas exchange, move mucus upward with cilia, elicit cough reflex to clear airways and this additional function.
Assist with humidification and warming of air or trapping small particles to clean air with mucosal lining.
This treadmill test consists of rapidly progressing incremental intensity used to assess the presence and severity of coronary artery disease.
Cardiac Stress Test
Orthopnea
This is the length of time required to take a heart rate measurement for someone with a known cardiac condition.
1 minute
