the atrioventricular node (AV node):
delays the electrical signal coming from the atria into the ventricles
1 of 21
the aorta receives blood from the:
left ventricle
2 of 21
what is the term for the sequence of events that occur during one heart beat?
cardiac cycle
3 of 21
most of the symptoms of acute left-sided heart failure are:
respiratory in nature (e.g., dyspnea, orthopnea)
4 of 21
a vessel(s) that carry(ies) blood from the pulmonary capillaries to the left atrium is (are) the:
pulmonary veins
5 of 21
which cavity first receives unoxygenated blood from the vena cava?
right atrium
6 of 21
what term refers to the amount of blood pumped by the ventricle in one beat?
stroke volume
7 of 21
what is the significance of elevated plasma levels of AST, CPK, and LDH?
myocardial damage as in myocardial infraction
8 of 21
increased afterload (e.g., hypertension):
increases the work of the heart
9 of 21
which term refers to a heart rate less than 60 beats/min?
bradycardia
10 of 21
the right ventricle pumps blood to the:
pulmonary artery
11 of 21
the purpose of the right heart is to pump blood:
to the lungs for oxygen
12 of 21
sympathetic stimulation to the heart:
increases heart rate
13 of 21
vagal stimulation on the heart:
slows the heart rate
14 of 21
referring to the ECG, the QRS complex represents ventricular:
depolarisation
15 of 21
decreased blood flow through the coronary arteries is most likely to cause:
angina pectoris
16 of 21
ventricular systole refers to:
contraction of the ventricular myocardium
17 of 21
an ejection fraction of 30% is:
characteristic of a failing heart
18 of 21
what happens during ventricular diastole?
the ventricles are filling with blood
19 of 21
where does the cardiac action potential (cardiac impulse) normally originate?
SA node
20 of 21
heart rate and stroke volume determine:
cardiac output
