A 65 years old male patient with history of heart disease came to his doctor’s office for annual physical exam. On examination, his pulse was 78/minute, respiration 18/minute, temperature was 95.30F. His blood pressure was recorded as 170/93mm Hg. Further tests revealed the patient’s stroke volume as 65 ml/beat and ESV as 80 ml. From this short history answer/calculate the following: Cardiac output: EDV: Ejection fraction:
One of the following is a life-threatening arrhythmia and an absolute emergency that should immediately be notified by the MA to the physician in the event it appears in the EKG strips. One of the following is a life-threatening arrhythmia and an absolute emergency that should immediately be notified by the MA to the physician in the event it appears in the EKG strips. Sinus rhythm Sinus tachycardia Sinus bradycardia Ventricular fibrillation
A 67-year-old-man is in the operating room undergoing a hip replacement. The procedure is going along uneventfully, and there is no indication of acute blood loss. Suddenly, the patient develops supraventricular tachycardia. Intravenous injection is administered and within 15 s, the electrocardiogram shows normal sinus rhythm. What is the most likely drug responsible for this normalization of the electrocardiogram? Select one: O ignocaine Quinidine Esmolol Verapamil Adenosine
A middle-aged patient presents for her annual physical examination in seemingly good health. She has a blood pressure of 128/83 mm Hg, and echocardiography indicates that end-diastolic volume is 140 mL and end- systolic volume is 80 mL. A routine ECG is obtained and is shown below. The ECG reveals the patient is in normal sinus rhythm with an R-R interval of 0.76 seconds. This corresponds to a heart rate of: 70 beats/min 74 beats/min 79 beats/min 84 beats/min 88 beats/min
While assisting the circulator during outpatient surgery under local anesthesia, you are asked to take the patient’s vital signs for the duration of the case. Explain the following: 1. You do not know what the patient’s normal vital signs are. Do you need to know this in order to carry out this role? 2. You cannot find an available digital blood pressure apparatus so you must use a stethoscope and manual sphygmomanometer. Is this important to the documentation?
A 69-year-old woman presents with crushing substernal chest pain and nausea. Laboratory studies show elevated serum levels of cardiac proteins (CK-MB = 8.5 ng/mL; troponin-I = 3.2 ng/mL). A diagnosis of myocardial infarction is confirmed by ECG. Despite treatment, the patient becomes hypotensive and resuscitation attempts are unsuccessful. A cross section of the patient's right coronary artery at autopsy is shown in the image. Which of the following pathologic changes are evident in this autopsy specimen? (A) Arteritis and atherosclerosis (B) Atherosclerosis and thrombosis (C) Microaneurysm and canalization (D) Thrombosis and calcification (E) Vasodilation and arteritis

A 67-year-old male was diagnosed with acute heart failure based on the clinical findings of decreased cardiac output, pulmonary congestion, and peripheral edema. His increased creatinine and BUN also indicated renal insufficiency. His electrocardiogram shows evidence of old myocardial infarction. Echocardiography reveals diminished left ventricular ejection fraction without ventricular dilatation. Pharmacologic therapy is started, including a positive inotrope, a coronary vasodilator, an antihypertensive ACE inhibitor, and a loop diuretic. Elective coronary angiography reveals significant stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. He undergoes balloon angioplasty and stent placement and remains stable as an outpatient. His discharge drug regimen is accompanied by a low-salt, low fat diet. What mechanisms led to Mr. R’s pulmonary congestion and pedal edema? How are they related to renal function and fluid-electrolyte balance? Briefly describe the process of sodium and fluid…
A patient has tachycardia and has amiodarone infusing at 15 mL/h. The amiodarone concentration is 300 mg in 500 mL. At what rate, in mg/min, is the amiodarone infusing? Round to the tenth if applicable. A patient with a dysrhythmia has procainamide ordered at 2 mg/min. The concentration is procainamide 4g in 100 mL of D5W. How Many mL/h should the IV pump be programmed for? Round to the tenth if applicable. The patient is ordered to receive 16 units/h of regular insulin. Available is 200 units of regular insulin in 250 mL of 0.9% NS. At what rate in mL/h should the infusion pump be set at? Round to the tenth if applicable . Lanoxin Pediatric elixir is available 0.05 mg/mL. The ordered amount by the doctor is 45 mcg per dose two times per day. What is the amount in mL that the nurse will give per dose via oral syringe? Round to the tenth if applicable.

I-type Ca channel (aka Dihydropyridine Receptors) 4. Ryanodine Receptors (RyR-2) for myocardial cells 5. SERCA 6. NCX 7. Na+ - K+ - ATPase Pump
A person’s blood pressure is measured at 118/78 and the person’s peripheral pulse is 72. Which of the following statements is correct? Group of answer choices The person’s pulse pressure is 40 mm Hg The person’s MAP is 98 mm Hg The person’s MAP is 66 mm Hg The person’s pulse was measured at the heart
1. Mr. Garcia had a myocardial infarction. Explain what happened to his heart muscle and vascular system. What is a STEMII? 2. Mr. Garcia's chest pain resolved after two sublingual NTF at 3-minute intervals and 2 mg of IV morphine. In the cardiac catheterization lab he was "found to have a totally occluded distal right coronary artery and a 70% occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. The left anterior descending artery was patent. Angioplasty of the distal right coronary artery resulted in a patent infarct- related artery with near normal flow. A stent was left in place to stabilize the patient and limit infarct size. Left ventricular ejection fraction was normal at 42%, and a posterobasilar scar was present with hypokinesis." a. Explain angioplasty and stent placement. Define occluded occlusion. b. What is the purpose of this medical procedure?
