significance: DECREASED CO because decreased preload from the atria: blood not moving well and clot can form (anticoagulant needed)
AV node blocking atrial impulses and only every few can be conducted to the ventricles
atria firing 250-350bpm but ventricles 60-150bpm

52
Q

atrial fibrillation

A

reduced pumping efficiency of the heart–ventricles are not filled well, thrombi can form and cause stroke/pulmonary embolus/peripheral (give anticoagulant or diuretic)

atrial firing 300-400 bpm and multi focal irritated in the atria is quivering and not effective, cant determine ventricle rate

P: no
PR: no
QRS: normal when they happen
T: YES

rhythm: irregular

53
Q

junctional rhythm

A

AV node is pacing the heart at 40-60bpm
passive flow through atria causes risk of clot

P: NONE
QRS: normal
T: INVERTED

54
Q

Supraventricular tachycardia

high HR above 150bpm
less coronary filling
GIVE B BLOCKER or Calcium channel blocker

P: hard to see
QRS: normal!

55
Q

this can lead to ventricular fibrillation

such as a PVC on the T wave

DO NOT EXERCISE

ventricular tachycardia (we shock heart)
LETHAL because not effective CO
60
Q

64
Q

3rd Degree Heart Block

A

complete heart block –no impulse through AV node at all, and depend on the venticels (can result in: decreased CO, hypotension, angina, CHF, cardiac arrest)

atria and ventricles function normally but independently
See P in the T wave

no communication between the P and the QRS (wide QRS)

73
Q

sustained tachycardia

A

3 or more PVC in a row

100-250bpm

74
Q

failure to capture

A

pacemaker implant sends signal that doeesnt cause electrical mechanical action of heart

75
Q

failure to sense

A

pacemaker implant sends signal at inappropriate time

76
Q

what to do in ST depression

A

give O2, fio2 facemask

sit and take BP

77
Q

what to do if 3 PVC in a row

A

nonsustained ventricular tachycarida

STOP exercise
give O2
give nitroglycerin in sitting since it is a vasodilator that will lower BP and SUPINE WILL CAUSE PRELOAD TO INCREASE (risk of pulmonary edema) risk of bradycahrdia

or call 911

78
Q

how does changing position change preload

A

if systemic venous return is suddenly increased (e.g., changing from upright to supine position), right ventricular preload increases leading to an increase in stroke volume and pulmonary blood flow. Increased pulmonary venous return to the left atrium leads to increased filling (preload) of the left ventricle, which in turn increases left ventricular stroke volume by the Frank-Starling mechanism. In this way, an increase in venous return can lead to a matched increase in cardiac output.

79
Q

qualify heart transplant

A

n most medical centers, a Vo2max score of 14 (in ml/kg/minute) or less qualifies you for heart transplant.

Minimum of 6 minutes in sitting or supine position, or until near baseline measures are reached. A period of active cool down may be included in the 6 minute recovery period; for functional (non diagnostic) exercise tests a 1-3minute cool down is recommended, depending on the level of exertion (additional time for heavier exertion) to minimize postexercise effects of venous pooling in the lower extremities.

12 lead EKG every minute

Blood pressure immediately after exercise, then every 1-2 minutes until normotensive or near-baseline measures are reached

Symptomatic ratings each minute as long as they persist after exercise. Patients should be observed until all symptoms have subsided and the EKG is within acceptable limits, as determined by the supervising clinician.

                                            Explanation of rating scales

                                            12 Lead EKG in supine and in position of exercise

                                            Blood pressure in supine and in position of exercise

                                            Assessment of medications, when last taken, and current symptom list

                                Exercise Measures

                                            12 lead EKG during last minute of each stage of exercise

                                            Blood pressure and RPE during last minute of each stage

                                            Other rating scales as appropriate

                                Post test Measures

Minimum of 6 minutes in sitting or supine position, or until near baseline measures are reached. A period of active cool down may be included in the 6 minute recovery period; for functional (non diagnostic) exercise tests a 1-3minute cool down is recommended, depending on the level of exertion (additional time for heavier exertion) to minimize postexercise effects of venous pooling in the lower extremities.

12 lead EKG every minute

Blood pressure immediately after exercise, then every 1-2 minutes until normotensive or near-baseline measures are reached

Symptomatic ratings each minute as long as they persist after exercise. Patients should be observed until all symptoms have subsided and the EKG is within acceptable limits, as determined by the supervising clinician.
