Right axis deviation
What is lead 1 down and aVF down
Extreme right axis deviation
What is normal PR interval
<0.2
What is normal QRS

What is another formula for CO
(Pa-Pv)/TPR
What is lusitropy
Speed of relaxation
How is lusitropy related to inotropy
Inverse
In hypovolemic shock, we don’t want to stimulate what response

What is normal mean arterial pressure
About 93
Pulse pressure is related to
Compliance
What does aortic stenosis cause in pulse pressure
Decrease b/c systolic pressure is decreased
Blocking serotonin receptors causes what
Vasodilation
What is the difference between active and reactive hyperemia
Reactive is due to an ischemic event being cleared
Active is normal through exercise or other means
What does β1 do systemically
- Increase HR
- increase contractility
- increase nodal conduction
- increase renin secretion
- increase lipolysis
