Q

benefit of B blockers in AMI care

A

decreases myocardial O2 demand
prevents catecholamine induced arrhythmias
reduced mortality

17
Q

origin of hypercalcemia

A

most common life threatening disorder associated with cancer
10-20% of cancer patients
malignant cells release factors that cause Ca release from bones

18
Q

symptoms of hypercalcemia

A
muscle weakness
tiredness 
confusion
unstable gait
constipation
decreased appetite
increased urination
bone pain
19
Q

effect of hypercalcemia on someone with normal K levels

A

decrease Na+ current and decrease excitability by shifting Na+ activation curve to more positive threshold
