Septal leads Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

1. A pt present to the ED with complaints of chest pain. The 12-lead EKG reveals ST segment elevation in leads I and aVL. The initial BP is 112/69 and decreases to a systolic of 60 mmHg following a dose of nitroglycerin 0.4mg SL. The next most appropriate intervention is to: A. Complete a fibrinolytic check sheet B. Initiate a dopamine drip for blood pressure control C. Obtain a R sided EKG D. Administer a 0.9% NS bolus IV - D. Administer a 0.9% NS bolus IV Pts can be sensitive to va...

FoEM CBR22- Cardiology Exam What underlying pathologic process distinguishes myocardial infarction from angina/unstable angina? Atherosclerotic plaque rupture → exposed endothelium → clot attaches → reduced blood flow; if cell death occurs (usually due to complete vascular obstruction) then positive trop and MI; if no cell death occurs then negative trop and angina/unstable angina. What is the difference between transmural and nontransmural infarction? Transmural: usually STEMI, la...

Which of the following statements is the most relevant phenomenon? Question 1 options: Increased preload due to vascular resistance High afterload because of backpressure against the left ventricle Impaired contractility due to aortic resistance Systolic impairment because of arterial stenosis Question 2 (2 points) Saved A nurse practitioner employe...

Removal of part of the liver leads to the remaining liver cells undergoing compensatory - Compensatory hyperplasia is an adaptive mechanism that enables certain organs to regenerate. For example, the removal of part of the liver leads to hyperplasia of the remaining liver cells (hepatocytes) to compensate for the loss.

List some possible etiologies for pulmonary hypertension. Ans- An access of blood flowing through the pulmonary artery. Reduction in the caliber of the pulmonary vasculature (vasoconstriction) either: (A)Primaryunknown cause (B)Secondary- due to long-standing pulmonary congestion due to left heart failure. Why might there be a volume overload in the pulmonary arteries? Ans- This is usually due to a shunt, where blood flows directly from the left side of the heart to the right. This res...
