Tests
What is a computerized CT scan that shoots electron beams so fast it freezes the beating motion of the heart?
CT scan
Treatment for 2nd/3rd degree heart block
What is a pacemaker
This form is characterized by an inadequate supply of iron to form normal red blood cells. When the body’s supply of iron decreases, so does the number of red blood cells and, as a result, the hemoglobin. This reduces the body’s ability to carry oxygen to the cells.
Iron Deficiency Anemia
How tall is chavez
6'2
The sac that surrounds the outer wall of the heart
Pericardium
What uses high frequency sound waves to make images of the internal heart structures?
Echocardiogram
Treatment options for premature atrial contraction
What are beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and anti-arrhythmic medicine.
This term is used to identify any abnormal changes in the heart rhythm. Arrhythmias vary in severity from mild to life threatening, as with fibrillation. They are classified according to the origin of the irregularity (e.g., PVC or atrial flutter). The more the heart action is affected, the greater the consequences on the cardiac output and the blood pressure, which in turn determines the clinical significance.
Arrhythmia
What is Chavez' middle name?
Gregory
Muscle wall of the heart
Myocardium
What uses sound waves transmitted through the skin and are reflected by blood cells?
Doppler ultrasonography
Treatment options for premature junctional contractions
What are medications which treat digitalis toxicity
This is complete, sudden cessation of heart action. The condition is rapidly fatal, producing irreversible brain damage after five minutes.
Cardiac Arrest
How many milk cartons did Chavez have on 2/20/25
4
the main trunk of the arterial system of the body
aorta
What uses an ambulatory ECG that records heart activity over a 24-hour period?
Holter monitor
stretches open narrow/blocked arteries
This is a disease of the arteries that surround the heart, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium.
Coronary Artery Disease
What is chavez' favorite color?
Navy blue
a muscular wall that divides the heart into a right and left side
septum
What is a variation of cardiac stress test that also combines info from echocardiogram?
Dobutamine stress test
What is done in a stenting procedure
A small mesh tube is inserted into your body to hold open passages
This is a disease in which the walls of the ventricles of the heart are markedly thickened, sometimes to three times their normal width. The “muscle-bound” heart is stiff and cannot fill with blood and pump efficiently. It is rare and affects fewer than 200,000 in the United States per year. It is recognized as an important cause of heart failure and sudden death. Some prominent victims have been young athletes who collapse and die during sports events. The enlargement is for no apparent reason and is not caused by increased workload as with hypertension or aortic narrowing. (Those problems result in left ventricular hypertrophy.) This disease is not to be confused with athletic heart syndrome.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Whose mailbox did Chavez hit with his truck?
Ethan Wolf
muscular attachments to the undersides of the heart valves from the walls of the ventricles, which open the valves during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.
Papillary muscles
