- Small cluster of cardiac muscle that initiates contraction of the heart. It is embedded in the upper wall of the right atrium.
- Thick-walled chambers that pump blood away from the heart
- Occurs when an area of the heart muscle stops and dies.
- Powerful muscle spanning the rib cage under the lungs.
- A condition in which the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is reduced.
- Small tubes originating from the bronchi
30 Clues: Carries oxygen • Liquid portion of the blood. • a system used to type blood. • When an area of the brain dies. • Carry blood back towards the heart. • one of the largest artery of the body • Collect oxygen-poor blood from the body • Small tubes originating from the bronchi • Leads to the lungs and divides into tubes. • Plays an important role in blood clotting. • ...

Across
- CVP(normal 2-8 mmHg)
- Amount of blood ejected from ventricle with each cardiac cycle
- Decreases after load (Dobutamine, Nitroglycerin, nitroprussin)
- ventricular depolarization (<0.12)
- Increases contractility, regulates rhythm (a fib, a flutter)
- Normal pacemaker of the heart
- secondary pacemaker (20-40 bpm)
- depolarization from atria to ventricles (0.12-0.20)
- decreases afterload; aids in healing post cardiogenic shock, post MI, or post CABG
- MAP (normal: 70-105 mmHg; must be >60 to perfuse all organs)
- If CVP and PCWP (preload) are low:
- indicates the resistance encountered by the left side of the heart as it pumps blood outward toward the body (Includes SVR)
- SVR - as this increases, CO,CI,SV,and HTN decrease (normal: 900-1400 DYNES)
- fluid build up around heart causing the heart to work harder due to decreased contractility
- PCWP(normal 6-12 mmHg)
Down
- when SBP decreases by >/= 10 mmHg
- If CVP and PCWP (preload) are high:
- Disorder of impulse formation, conduction of impulses, or both
- increases contractility and after load (epinephrine, dopamine, and levo)
- Volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute (SVxHR), normal: 4-8 L/min
- If SVR is high (afterload):
- secondary pacemaker (40-60 bpm)
- As preload increases, stroke volume increases, and cardiac output increases
- atrial depolarization
- Used to help ID CV problems; the pulmonary artery carries blood between the heart and lungs (normal: 20/10 mmHg)
- EJ - indicates how well your left ventricle pumps blood with each heart beat
- Gives a better idea than CO about the heart's ability to perfuse the tissues because it accounts for the body's surface area (Normal: 2.2-4 L/min)
- catheter inserted through right atrium to right ventricle to pulmonary artery
- volume status (includes CVP and PCWP)
29 Clues: CVP(normal 2-8 mmHg) • atrial depolarization • PCWP(normal 6-12 mmHg) • If SVR is high (afterload): • Normal pacemaker of the heart • secondary pacemaker (40-60 bpm) • secondary pacemaker (20-40 bpm) • when SBP decreases by >/= 10 mmHg • ventricular depolarization (<0.12) • If CVP and PCWP (preload) are low: • If CVP and PCWP (preload) are high: • ...
Cardiovascular Terms 2021-02-26
Across
- another name for end diastolic volume (EDV)
- volume of blood ejected by heart per beat
- volume of blood pumped out by the heart per minute
- measures general electrical activity of the heart
- ability of myocardia to generate high amount of force and high velocity
- cardiac muscle; generates force for all heart beats
Down
- opens due to pressure; prevents backflow
- reduces friction and provides lubrication in the heart
- state of increased pressure; when heart is contracting
- state of decreased pressure; when heart is relaxed and filling
- measured from R to R on EKG
11 Clues: measured from R to R on EKG • opens due to pressure; prevents backflow • volume of blood ejected by heart per beat • another name for end diastolic volume (EDV) • measures general electrical activity of the heart • volume of blood pumped out by the heart per minute • cardiac muscle; generates force for all heart beats • ...
