These are the two major branches of the left coronary artery.
What is Circumflex and Left Anterior Descending?
The flat line that represents electrical silence on an EKG?
What is the isoelectric baseline.
The three leads that represent the inferior wall of the left ventricle.
what is lead II, III and avf?
What is False Statement?
This EKG suggests reduced oxygen but reversible damage?
What is T wave inversion or ST depression?
On an ekg, this determines the age of an acute infarction.
What is ST Elevation?
This portion of the EKG is most important when identifying ischemia.
What is the ST segment or T wave?
The second stage of coronary artery disease.
What is Injury?
A Heart Injury is a condition that cannot be reversed.
What is a false statement?
Myocardial cell death Am I reversible?
What is infarct? Not reversible
On an ekg, this marks when the age of an infarction cannot be determined.
What is T Wave Inversion?
The narrowing of the coronary arteries is caused by this.
What is Atherosclerosis?
The first stage of coronary artery disease
What is Ischemia?
An infarction is a condition that can be reversed.
What is a false statement?
ST depression in V5-V6 during chest pain.
What is ischemia? Reversible.
What is the criteria for Injury?
This must be seen in leads that represent the wall in order to diagnose an infarction.
What are significant Q waves in at least 2 leads?
The third stage of coronary artery disease
What is Infarction?
The ST segment or T wave is most important when diagnosing ischemia.
What is a true statement?
ST elevation followed by a Q wave.
What is infarction? Irreversible.
The lack of sufficient oxygenated blood and is shown on the 12-lead EKG by St-t depression and or T-wave inversion.
What is Ischemia?
This will show on a 12 lead EKG when an infarction is present.
What are significant Q waves?
The death of myocardial tissue is referred to as
What is Infarct?
The small boxes on an ekg represent 0.04 seconds.
What is a true statement?
ST elevation in II, III & AVF for 15 minutes.
What is potential reversible injury? Remember "Time is Tissue"
