Do you hear what I hear?
100
A vessel that carries blood away from the heart.
What is an artery?
100

Distended jugular veins indicates this type of central venous pressure

What is increased?

100
The preferred cardiac rhythm.
What is normal sinus rhythm.
100
The SA node is often referred to as this.
What is pacemaker of the heart?
100
The condition where cardiac auscultation reveals an irregular rhythm with a corresponding cardiac tracing that does not have p-waves.
What is atrial fibrillation?
200
Located between the right atrium and right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
200
The symptom that refers to swelling caused by fluid leaking into surrounding tissues.
What is edema?
200

The primary consideration when preparing to administer thrombolytic therapy to a patient who is experiencing an MI is this.

What is a time since onset of symptoms?

200
The term that describes the release of the electrical charge causing the heart muscles to contract.
What is depolorization?
200

The Dub sound is caused by this.

What are aortic and pulmonic valves closing?

300
The only artery that carries unoxygenated blood.
What is the pulmonary artery?
300

Recording of the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac muscle is measured and recorded by this.

What is electrocardiography (EKG)?

300

High pressure causes these to open, ejecting blood out of the ventricles.

What are the semilunar valves (pulmonic and aortic valves)?

300

This endures for approximately two-thirds of the cardiac cycle, during which time ventricles fill.

What is the diastole?

300
The swishing sound when a valve does not close completely.
What is a murmur?
400
Feeds the coronary arteries.
What is the aorta?
400
Sounds like Kentucky and is associated an adult with congestive heart failure.
What is an S3 heart sound?
400
Aortic area, pulmonic area, Erb's point, Mitral and Tricuspid area all describe this.

What is traditional areas of auscultation?

400
The slight delay here allows the ventricles to fill.
What is the AV node?
400
The heart sound associated with hypertension.
What is S4?
500
The major artery that provides blood and oxygen to the SA node and AV node.
What is the right coronary artery (RCA)?
500
Heart rate, contractility, preload, and afterload.
What is are the four influences on cardiac output?
500

Due to it's proximity to the heart, this pressure waves pulsation (pulse) coincides closely with ventricular systole.

What is the carotid artery pulse?

500

The interval that demonstrates the complete conduction cycle of the ventricles and varies with heart rate.

What is the QT interval?

500
Change is speech that may indicate a stroke or TIA.
What is slurred?
