Cardiac review

4. Can have a pulse or not have a pulse
5. Early cardiac contractions that are wide and bizarre
6. Treatment for asystole
8. Medication given for Ventricular arrhythmias
10. Medication given for decreased cardiac output
11. Condition where the valve regulating the blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart, is narrowed
12. Gatekeeper between the top and bottom chambers of the heart
14. The treatment for Ventricular fibrillation
15. This denotes the contraction of the ventricles
16. This denotes the contraction of the atria
18. Determines the amount of myocardial fiber stretch
20. This denotes the relaxation of the ventricles
21. Medication frequently given to heart failure patients
25. Treatment for symptomatic Afib with RVR
26. The bottom chambers of the heart are quivering
28. Heart rate times stroke volume
29. Class of medications that block the effects of adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) on the body's receptors, primarily in the heart and blood vessels.

1. Common cause of left-sided heart failure
2. refers to the resistance to blood flow in the systemic circulation
3. Class of drug that can treat htn, angina, migraines, and arrythmias
7. Indication of infective endocarditis
9. Regular rhythm arising from the intrinsic pacemaker of the heart
13. Normal range 0.12-0.20
16. The nurse must assess this before administering digoxin
17. Condition that allows blood to flow backward into the left atrium
19. The top chambers of the heart are contracting fast and erratically
22. Heart must overcome this to eject blood into the aorta
23. Condition where the valve between the heart and the body narrows and restricts blood flow from the left ventricle
24. facilitate rapid and efficient electrical conduction throughout the heart, particularly in the ventricles, ensuring coordinated contraction.
27. Medication given for symptomatic bradycardia
