- 3. This abbreviation describes one of the most common dysrhythmia resulting in no clear P waves, irregular ventricle responses and high risk for blood clots.
- 5. Myocardial __________ is a compensatory measure the heart does with heart failure leading to increased muscle size to provide greater and stronger contractions, but it ends up causing a greater oxygen need.
- 7. This measures the blood flow through coronary arteries and needs to be between 60-70mm Hg to maintain perfusion of major body organs
- 9. An atrial gallop can be heard in patients with HTN, ______, MI, ventricle hypertrophy or pulmonary stenosis
- 10. A Heart failure teaching MAWDS, the D stands for _____ with a focus on limiting sodium and fluid intake
- 13. permanent pacemakers have a lithium battery and a life span of ____ years (spell not #)
- 14. Hypertensive _______ is a medical emergency where the BP can be greater than 200/150 leading to kidney failure, heart failure or stroke.
- 16. swishing sounds that are heart when an artery or vessel is partially obstructed. no longer heard if it is more than 90% obstructed.
- 17. this abnormality occurs in nail beds of patients with congenital heart defects and right sided heart failure
- 18. involves formation of plaque within the arterior walls. The pathophysiology is not known, but it is thought to occur from inflammation.
- 19. _____ Disease is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension.
- 20. In Right sided heart failure this is a symptom that presents from severe liver congestion leading to an increased abdominal girth.

- 1. Sinus ________ can occur from a variety of factors and may not be symptomatic. They include vomiting, hypoxia, Lyme disease and professional athletes.
- 2. ____________ Sulfate is used as a drug to treat refractory VT or VF because these patients might be low on that electrolyte. It is also the drug used for Torsades de pointes.
- 4. Varicose veins are distended, protruding veins that occur with patients older than 30 whose job requires prolonged _______.
- 6. This disorder is classified as sudden difficulty breathing and congestion occurs after the pt has been laying flat for several hours as the blood in venous system is redistributed leading to excess blood entering the heart and the heart being unable to cope.
- 8. This disease is a chronic condition in which total or partial occlusion leads to decreased perfusion to extremities.
- 11. ________ fraction is the percentage of blood ejected from the heart during systole. it is normally 50-70%.
- 12. Ventricular _________ is a life-threatening rhythym that can lead to death if not corrected within 3-5minutes as the ventricles do not contract, only quiver.
- 14. This abbreviation stands for the amount of blood pumped through the heart each minute. Calculated as Heart rate X stroke volume
- 15. Venous __________ occurs as a result of prolonged venous hypertension leading to fluid backing up in the veins causing venous stasis ulcers, swelling and cellulitis.
- 21. This heart rhythm is very normal and increases in age and is only concerning if multiple contractions occur back-to-back. Usually there are no symptoms but sometimes the pt reports palpitations.
