2 parameters that can be measured with pulmonary artery catheter: - 1) pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PACapillaryP) AKA Pulmonary artery occlusive pressure (PAOP) 2) Pulmonary artery diastolic pressure (PADP) A cholinergic response is seen with which part of the autonomic nervous system? - parasympathetic (acetylcholine - produces negative dromotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart) A person who has had a previous MI will likely exhibit what finding on an EKG? - bundle branch blo...

Posteromedial papillary muscle is supplied by... - RCA Anterolateral papillary muscle is supplied by... - LAD & CX What carries the electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles? - Bundle of His What portion of the aortic pressure wave begins to rise when the ejection period begins? - anacrotic limb What portion of the aortic pressure wave represents aortic valve closure? - Dicrotic notch How many segments is the left ventricle divided into when assessing wall motion at the basal leve...

How does COPD result in atrial fibrillation and predisposition to PEs? - COPD causes pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, and right atrial enlargement. The right atrial enlargement causes stretching of the atrial tissue and frequently results in atrial dysrhythmias. SA blocks, second-degree AV block type I, and third-degree AV heart block at the level of the AV node would occur in _______________ occlusion - RCA (as seen in inferior wall MIs) There is (more/less) risk of b...
