The mitral and tricuspid valves are also known as ________ valves.

atrioventricular (AV)

300

in the resting state a given cardiac myocyte has a ________ membrane potential.

negative

300

This pre-excitation syndrome is characterized by retrograde conduction via the Bundle of Kent and is seen on an ECG by a gradual upward slope of the R wave.

WPW

300

ST Segment depression in leads V1, V2, V3 and V4 would most likely indicate this patient is experiencing cardiac ischemia in the _______ side of the heart.

posterior

400

The physical divider of the ventricles.

interventricular septum

400

Cardiac depolarization begins with a sudden influx of ______.

Sodium 

400

S-T Segment elevation in all leads may indicate a condition known as pericarditis. This is inflammation of the ________.

pericardium

400

In the presence of an Inferior STEMI, it is likely the right ventricle is involved as well. This is because portions of both are supplied by which coronary artery?

Right coronary artery

400

Epinephrine induces a positive _______, ___________, and ________ effect.

chronotropic, inotropic, and dromotropic

500

The atria of the heart are separated from the ventricles by the ___________; this contains the trunks of the nutrient vessels of the heart, and is deficient in front, where it is crossed by the root of the pulmonary trunk.

coronary sulcus

500

absolute refractory period

500

This method of identifying a STEMI in the presence of a LBBB is based upon the criteria of: Concordant ST elevation > 1mm, Concordant ST depression > 1 mm, Excessively discordant ST elevation > 5 mm. This method is proven to be 90% specific.

500

Cardiac preload is the end diastolic pressure that stretches the right or left ventricle of the heart to its greatest geometric dimensions under variable physiologic demand. This is know as the ______________ law.

Frank–Starling law

500

Sodium Channel Antagonist. Attenuates phase 4 diastolic depolarization, decreases automaticity, decreases action potential duration, and raises ventricular fibrillation threshold; inhibits conduction of nerve impulses from sensory nerves
