Cardiovascular Flashcards
(23 cards)
P wave
Atrial depolarization
QRS complex
Ventricular depolarization
T wave
Ventricular repolarization
QT interval
Period of ventricular depolarization + repolarization
PR segment
AV node conduction
ST segment
Isoelectric
Correlates with plateau of ventricular AP
U waves
Hypokalemia
Tall t waves
Hyperkalemia
Prolonged QT interval
Hypocalcemia
Shortened QT interval
Hypercalcemia
Stable resting membrane potential
-90 mV
Produces changes in contractility
Inotropic effect
Produces changes in rate of relaxation
Luistrophic effect
Produces changes in rate of relaxation
Chronotropic effect
Produces changes in heart rate
Chronotropic effect
Produces changes in conduction velocity
Dromotrophic effect
Inotropes affect
Stroke volume
Chronotropes affect
SA node
Dromotroped affect
AV node
Dromotropes affected by
Inward calcium current
Beta-1 stimulation of the heart would cause
Stronger, briefer & more frequent contractions
S1
AV valves close
S2
SL valves close
