Fisdap Cardiology Exam

Fisdap Cardiology Exam Where are Beta 1 receptors found? - correct answer Heart and Kidneys Stimulation of Beta 1 receptors result in an increase of what? - correct answer Heart: Inotropy, Chronotropy, Dromotropy Kidneys: Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System = Vasoconstriction = Increase blood pressure Which node is located at the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium, is typically supplied by the Right Coronary artery, and fires at a rate of 60-100 bpm. - correct answer 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? - correct answer P wave Carvedilol (Coreg) Metropolol (Lopressor) Atenolol (Tenormin) Propranolol (Inderal) Bisoprolol (Zebeta) Acebutolol (Sectral) Comolol (Brevibloc) - correct answer Beta Blockers - used for blood pressure and cardiac problems Epinephrine Norepinephrine Vasopressin Dopamine Phenylephrine Dobutamine - correct answer Vasopressors The middle of phase 3 to beginning of phase 4 in the cardiac cycle where cardiac cells are partially refractory and partially repolarized and certain cells can be depolarized in response to electrical stimulus. - correct answer Relative Refractory Period (Partial flush of the toilet) Starlings Law - correct answer When end diastolic volume increases, stroke volume increases as well. (When more blood is in the ventricles, the cardiac muscle stretches like rubber band and creates more forceful contraction) Intrinsic Rate for Ventricles (Purkinje Fibers) - correct answer 20-40 Intrinsic Rate for AV Junction - correct answer 40-60 Treatment for Beta Blocker Overdose - correct answer Glucagon: 1-5mg IV/IO (1st Line Drug) Calcium Chloride: 500mg - 1g IV/IO Why do we give Nitro for chest pain? Class MOA Indications - correct answer Nitrate Vasodilator and Antianginal Relaxes vascular smooth muscle = vasodilation and venous pooling which Reduces Preload/Afterload and Dilates Coronary Arteries which increases myocardial perfusion. Cardiac Chest Pain Acute Pulmonary Edema What is our dose for nitro, and what are the contraindications? - correct answer 0.4mg sublingual 15mg/1inch paste 1g patch Systolic 90mmHg PDE5 inhibitors x 48hrs Head Trauma/Hemorrhage signs Poor Systemic Perfusion Swelling of affected limb, pain and tenderness, inflammation/redness, warm to touch on affected limb, pain on dorsiflexion (Homan Sign) are all signs of? - correct answer DVT Treatment of DVT - correct answer Supportive Care, Position of Comfort, Establish IV, Cardiac Monitor, Pulse Ox, O2, Monitor vitals for embolism.
