Across
- 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.
Down
- 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
