NRNP 6566 Knowledge Check Week 3 Amiodarone has possible complex interactions with multiple medications. It has an effect on warfarin metabolism. Amiodarone is a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzymes and inhibition of these enzymes will cause an increased plasma concentration and decreased clearance; thereby increasing the prothrombin time and INR placing the patient at increased risk for bleeding complications. Hence, when given together, warfarin dose should be decreased and frequent...

PCCN Cardiac Questions and Answers 2023 Which of the following is the outermost lining of the heart? A. Endocardium B. Myocardium C. Transcardium D. Pericardium D. Pericardium "Endo" meaning "within" is associated with the innermost lining of the heart, so eliminate A. The myocardium is associated with the heart's middle layer, so eliminate option B. The "transcardium" is somewhat of a contrived term, so eliminate C as well. The prefix in pericardium, "peri" means "outside". Op...

Bundle of His - ANS LAD so D. bundle of his Which of the following is the preferred lead for ST segment monitoring for a patient with a suspecte...

Which coronary vessel is usually the cause of the myocardial infarction in a patient with ST elevation in V1, V2, and V3? A. left anterior descending (LAD) B. left circumflex artery C. posterior descending branch of the right coronary artery D. right coronary artery (RCA) E. right ventricular branch of the right coronary artery - A. left anterior descending (LAD) The answer is A. This EKG pattern is consistent with that of anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI). The LAD supplie...

CMC Cardiac Medicine Certification Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS): any group of clinical symptoms resulting from acute myocardial ischemia. - begins with the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, creating an injured area on the endothelium. platelet activation of the coagulation cascade and the formation of a thrombus over the injured area ensues - restricted blood flow, cardiac ischemia and chest pain, the most common symptom of ACS. ACS is divided into three categories: - unstable angina ...
