Electrocardiograph

24
Q

The first heart sound

25
The second heart sound
Dup
26
Extraneous heart sounds due to turbulent backflow of blood through a valve that does not close tightly
Heart murmurs
27
Contractile phase of the cardiac cycle
Systole
28
Relaxation stage of the cardiac cycle
Diastole
29
The amount of blood pumped out a ventricle per beat
Cardiac output
30
The frank-starling law of the heart states that the critical factor controlling stoke volume is the degree of stretch of cardiac mucle cells immediately before they contract
Preload
31
Contractile strength increases if there is an increase in cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration
Contractility
32
Ventriclar pressure that must be ovecome before blood can be ejected from the heart
Afterload
33
When one side of the heart fails
Pulmonary congestion
