How many ml's of blood does the heart pump per minute
What is 5L of blood per minute
What are veins
These are released into the bloodstream when the heart muscle is injured for any reason
What is Cardiac Enzymes
each enzyme has its own peak level and duration length
This triad is associated with Peripheral Vascular Disease
What is Virchow's triad
Hypercoagulability, impaired blood flow with increased in blood clotting, and damage to blood vessels
This heart rhythm includes all fast arrhythmias where the heart rate is greater than 100 BPM and the ventricles and the oxygenated blood does not reach all body tissues, leading to cell death
What is Ventricular Tachycardia
This is the amount of blood ejected during each heartbeat
What is Stroke Volume
This is the force that blood exerts against the walls of the aorta and its branches
What is Blood pressure
This is a test used to diagnose valve disorders, cardiomyopathy, evaluate the structures of the heart, and measure the ejection fraction
What is a Transthoracic echocardiography
This occurs most commonly in the iliac and femoral veins
This is the normal rhythm of the heart that is controlled by the heart's natural pace maker, called the Sinoatrial Node (SA node)
What is Normal Sinus Rhythm
This is the amount of blood ejected each minute
What is Cardiac output
What is systole when referring to blood pressure
What is the pressure is the greatest during a ventricular contraction
This is hardening of the arteries commonly occurring with aging
What is Arteriosclerosis
What are enlarged and distorted in shape by accumulations of pooled blood
What are Varicose Veins
This heart rhythm is normal sinus rhythm but the heart rate is below 60 BPM
What is Sinus Bradycardia
This is the percentage of blood ejected from the L ventricle
normal is 50-70%
What does the diastolic pressure tell us
What is the pressure that is the least during ventricular relaxation
This is narrowing of the arteries due to lipid deposits (plaques)
What is Atherosclerosis
This is what results from a thrombus being dislodged and lodges in a pulmonary vessel
This cardiac rhythm is usually seen the first few minutes before cardiac arrest
What is Ventricular Fibrillation
What carries oxygenated blood away from the heart in a forward fashion only
What are Arteries
This is a method to identify effective perfusion of vital organs
What is Mean Arterial Pressure
Want MAP 65 or greater if lower means profusion isn't occurring
This is narrowing or obstruction of peripheral blood vessels and loss of function in the arms, neck, abdomen, or lower extremities
What is Peripheral Vascular Disease
These are the 5 P's of a Neurovascular Assessment
What is: Pain
pulse
pallor
paresthesia
paralysis
This condition is also called ventricular standby, or flat-lining
What is Asystole
