- 2. It is defined as a heart rate <60/min, is usually a benign rhythm that occurs most commonly due to an adverse drug reaction.
- 5. It is a function of heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV).
- 6. blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, are called?
- 7. Is the phylogenetic remnant of the sinus venosus of lower vertebrate hearts.
- 9. Is an anticholinergic medication with parasympatholytic properties.
- 10. the heart becomes less responsive to sympathetic stimulation, possible secondary to declining receptor function.
- 11. is one of the most important of the vital signs also known as MAP.
- 14. It is the preferred catecholamine for symptomatic bradycardia refractory to atropine.
- 15. It raises the heart rate principally by increasing the slope of the pacemaker potential.
- 19. is one of the most important of the vital signs.
- 20. It is the mammalian heart region that ordinarily generates impulses at the greatest frequency.
Down
- 1. It controls various aspects of cardiac function, including the frequency at which the heart beats. (abbreviated)
- 3. when it is released the vagal activity increases.
- 4. It is defined as a heart rate >100/min is an ominous prognostic sign in the critically ill and injured patient.
- 8. It may be beneficial in the treatment of bradycardia associated with β-blocker or calcium channel blocker toxicity.
- 12. An alpha-2 receptor agonist.
- 13. is the “least vital” of all the vital signs
- 16. The presence of ___, heart failure, or other symptoms accompanying bradycardias is an indication for pacemaker implantation.
- 17. A short-acting cardioselective beta-blocker.
- 18. It induces bradycardia by blocking calcium and potassium channels in cardiac cells.
