right atrium, is typically supplied by the Right Coronary artery, and fires at a
rate of 60-100 bpm. - -SA Node
-Atrial depolarization characterized by smooth, round, upright deflection less
than 0.11 secs long and less than 2.5mm tall is referred to as what on the
ECG? - -P wave
-Carvedilol (Coreg)
Metropolol (Lopressor)

Acebutolol (Sectral)
Comolol (Brevibloc) - -Beta Blockers - used for blood pressure and cardiac
problems

cardiac cells are partially refractory and partially repolarized and certain cells
can be depolarized in response to electrical stimulus. - -Relative Refractory

-Principle symptom of Coronary Artery Disease or Acute Coronary Syndrome
that occurs when supply of O2 is to the myocardium is insufficient to meet
demand and cells become ischemic? - -Angina Pectoris
-Chest pain that occurs at rest and is caused by coronary artery vasospasm?
Risk for Dysrhythmia, MI, Heart Block and Death - -Prinzmetal Angina (PA)

Potassium (K+)
-Which electrolyte plays a major role in depolarization of pacemaker cells to
maintain depolarization and myocardial contractility? - -Calcium (Ca++)
-Which electrolyte stabilizes cell membrane and acts in concert with K+ and
opposes actions of Ca++? - -Magnesium (Mg++)
-Four properties of the Cardiac Conduction System - -Excitability - cells
respond to electrical impulse
Conductivity - cells pass impulse to one another
Automaticity - hearts ability to generate its own electrical impulse
Contractility - hearts ability to contract when stimulated
-Affects of RCA occlusion in terms of the SA node ischemia? - -SA node
becomes ischemic = slower firing rate (<60-100) or cease fire completely
causing another automaticity foci to take over such as AV (40-60) or Purkinje
(20-40).
