What is Epinephrine
100

Atorvastatin

What is an antilipemic?

100

This electrolyte is lost with loop diuretics 

What is potassium

100

Pumps blood through the lungs (pulmonary circulation)

What is the Right Heart?

100

Can be systolic or diastolic. Also known as congestive heart failure

What is left sided heart failure?

200
Type of organism most commonly seen in septic shock
What is gram negative
200

Treats coronary artery disease by decreasing the oxygen demand of the heart and increases oxygen supply in variant angina by relaxing spasms in coronary arteries.

What is nitroglycerin

200
This type of diuretic works in the distal duct renal tubules and promotes potassium retention and sodium and water excretion
What is potassium sparing diuretic
200

Atrial systole, Beginning of ventricular systole, Period or rising pressure, Beginning of ventricular diastole, Period of falling pressure

What are the five phases of the cardiac cycle?

200

Most commonly caused by a diffuse hypoxic pulmonary disease, can result from an increase in left ventricular filling pressure that is reflected back into the pulmonary circulation

What is right sided heart failure?

300
Class used most often to treat dysrhythmias following an MI
What is sodium channel blocker
300

cardiac glycoside that increases force of myocardial contraction to increase cardiac output

What is Digoxin

300

Acts on proximal portion of the distal convoluted tubules in the kidneys by blocking reabsorption of sodium and chloride

What is a thiazide diuretic?


300

SV x HR = 

What is cardiac output?

300

This type of lipoprotein takes cholesterol from the liver to be removed from the body

What is HDL?

400
Drug given to bust a clot and example
What is a thrombolytic such as TPA
400
Decreases cardiac workload by slowing heart rate and decreasing blood pressure by blocking an adrenergic receptor
What is a beta blocker
400

Bananas, citrus fruits, and potatoes

What are foods rich in potassium?

400

Special vascular system that picks up excess fluid and returns it to the blood stream

What is the lymphatic system

400

IV inotropic/sympathomimetic used to treat heart failure

What is dobutamine?

500

Progressive dysfunction of two or more organ systems resulting from an uncontrolled inflammatory response to severe illness or injury

What is multiple organ dysfunction syndrome

500

This medication is contraindicated in patients with asthma

What is Propranolol?

500

This type of arthritis may result due to taking a thiazide diuretic

What is gout?

500

Represented by the QRS on an electrocardiogram

What is ventricular depolarization?

500

Due to inadequate venous return over a long period of time due to varicose veins or valvular incompetence, these can develop

What is venous stasis ulcer?
