Chapter 19, Problem 2CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The concept of myocardial infarction its causes and its effects on the heart rhythm.
Introduction:
The heart is the hollow and muscular organ of the body that functions as a pump to circulate the blood throughout the body. The human heart results in double circulation as the right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood throughout the body and simultaneously the left side of the heart transfer oxygenated blood from the heart to body parts and results in double circulation.

- Classify the three congenital heart defects—ventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, and tetralogy of Fallot (Figure 19.18)— according to whether they produce (1) mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood, (2) increased workload for the ventricles, or (3) both of these problems.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: In the heart, which of the following apply? (1) Action potentials are conducted from cell to cell across the myocardium via gap junctions, (2) the SA node sets the pace for the heart as a whole, (3) spontaneous depolarization of cardiac cells can occur in the absence of nerve stimulation, (4) cardiac muscle can continue tocontract for long periods in the absence of oxygen. (a) all of the above, (b) 1, 3, 4, (c) 1, 2, 3, (d) 2, 3.arrow_forwardIndicate the correct order of the sequence of events occurring during congestive heart failure. Order the sentences (Hint: End with "g") This question is a great summary of what happens, in steps, in congestive heart failure. a. narrowed bicuspid valve makes the L atrium pump harder in order to "push" blood into the L ventricle through an opening that is too narrow. b. pressure of the extra, backed up blood in the lung creates pressure in the capillaries that begin to leak fluid into the lung. c. extra "left-over" blood in the atrium that has not descended into the ventricle after a beat has nowhere to go. d. congenital heart defect causes a narrowed bicuspid valve e. not all blood gets "pushed" from the L atrium to the L ventricle during a regular heart beat f. blood that backed up in the L atrium with nowhere to go backs up further, into the pulmonary veins and eventually into the lung g. the patient gets less oxygen with each breath, feels tired all the time and is…arrow_forward
- What are the specific Pathophysiological (in physiologic terminology) reasons for each of the following symptoms related to a Myocardial Infarction: 1. Excruciating chest pain radiating to the jaw and left arm 2. Dyspnea and diaphoretic 3. Nausea 4. Loss of consciousness 5. No pulse and ventricular tachycardia revealed on the defibrillator paddles Thank you!arrow_forwardYour 70-year-old neighbor, Mr. Michael, tells you he has been diagnosed with a second degree heart block. The physician told him he would need a pacemaker implanted. He knows you are a registered nurse and he wants you to explain pacemakers to him. He is worried he will not be able to use a cell phone. Describe for Mr. Michael what a pacemaker is and what precautions, if any, he has to take after the pacemaker is implanted.arrow_forwardAngina pectoris is a symptom rather than a disease. It's Latin name translates to "pain in the chest." Angina pectoris occurs when the muscle tissue of the heart does not have enough oxygenated blood, resulting in discomfort or pain under the sternum. Do an online search and answer the follow questions: 1. What disease(s) causes angina pectoris? 2. What happens during an angina episode? 3. What type of treatment might be prescribed by the physician? 4. What tests might be ordered by the physician to determine the cause for angina pectoris? Please do not provide more than 2-3 sentences for each question.arrow_forward
- Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: An ECG provides information about (a) cardiac output, (b) movement of the excitation wave across the heart, (c) coronary circulation, (d) valve impairment.arrow_forwardA 50-year-old male patient arrives in the emergency department complaining of severe chest pain. He is taken to the cardiac cath lab for a coronary angiogram and left ventriculogram. The cardiologist discovers a lesion in the left main coronary artery branch and orders an immediate CABG. Could the cardiologist perform an angioplasty to repair the lesion?arrow_forwardIdentify if the statements are TRUE or FALSE. TRUE FALSE STATEMENTS When the atrioventricular bundle is completely interrupted, the ventricles typically contract at 30 to 40 beats/minute. The left ventricular wall of the heart is thicker than the right wall in order to pump blood with a greater pressure. Impulses through the conduction system of the heart follow the ordered path SA Node ->Conduction Myofibers ->AV Bundle ->AV Node.arrow_forward
- Mr. Salazar was taken immediately to the cath lab for a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). The cardiologist found a 90% blockage in his left anterior descending (LAD) artery. A stent was inserted to keep the vessel open. 1- What is the purpose of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as a heart catheterization? 2 - What is the expected outcome of a PCI? What do you expect to see in your patient after they receive a heart catheterization?arrow_forwardTrace the journey of a drop of blood starting from the right atrium, continuing to the right thumb, and returning to the right atrium. This would include a trip through the heart. Be sure to identify both the arterial and venous vessels as well as all of the relevant structures within the heart. Considering the online nature of this exam, drawings are not required. Simply type in the order of structures with a dash (-) between structures.arrow_forwardMr. Magoo visited his doctor with the complaint that he has noticed worsening swelling in his legs, especially at the end of the day. He also states he's been very fatigued most of the time. He is 67 years old, has smoked for 35 years, and had a myocardial infarction two years ago. What is your presumptive diagnosis? He's having another myocardial infarction He has right sided congestive heart failure He had a hemorrhagic stroke He has left sided congestive heart failurearrow_forward
