36
what is the P wave?
depolarization of atria
37
what is the P-R interval?

38
what is QRS complex?
depolarization of ventricles
39
what is T wave?
repolarization of ventricles
40
what is S3?
usually abnormal
*vibration when ventricle is filling when lots of fluid- beginning or during diastole (heart failure)
also known as ventricular gallop
41
what is S4?
usually abnormal
*softer sound from vibration at end of diastole
42
the sinoatrial (SA) node is considered?
the pacemaker of the heart
43
what is the conduction pathway?
-atria contracts
-signal travels across atria to AV node
-through bundle of His
-down right and left bundle branches
-through purkinje fibers to ventricles
-ventricles contract
44
how many liters of blood does the heart pump throughout the body per minute?
4-6L
45
what is cardiac output?
the volume of blood in each systole (stroke volume) times the number of beats per minute (heart rate)
CO= SV x HR
46
what is preload?
volume
*venous return that builds during diastole
*length the ventricular muscle is stretched at end of diastole before contraction
47
what is afterload?
pressure
*opposing pressure ventricle generates to open aortic valve against higher aortic pressure
48
what side of stethoscope should you use for carotids?
bell
49
what abnormality are you looking for in carotids?
bruit
*means blockage or obstruction
(usually atherosclerosis) results in stroke bc blood cannot get to brain

abdominal aortic aneurysm

zigzag starting at base (top)
71
what is splitting of 2nd heart sound? where is it heard?
more blood flow with inspiration (right valves don't close as quickly as left valves)
*only heard in pulmonic valve area
72
what is the medication requirement for mechanical valves?
must always be on blood thinners
-metal bell increases clotting risks

77
mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation can cause what murmur?
pansystolic regurgitant murmur
78

midsystolic click
80
a diastolic murmur always indicates _____?
heart disease
81
