- 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.

For the AV valves to close, pressure in the ventricle must be than the pressure in the atria. f. For the aortic SL vale to close, pressure in the aorta must be than the pressure in the left ventricle. g.

(Nerve impulses) (Pressure changes within the heart) trigger the opening and closing of the heart's valves. 2. A heart valve that fails to prevent the backflow of blood during contraction is called (incompetent) (stenotic), and the condition it causes is called valvular insufficiency. 3. (Valvular stenosis) (Regurgitation) is a condition resulting when a heart valve becomes narrowed, such as from scar tissue. 4. The mitral valve consists of (three) (rwo) cusps or leaflets. 5. The pulmonary and aortic valves are also called (semilunar) (tricuspid) valves. 6. The valves regulating flow between the atria and the ventricles are called (atrioventricular) (semilunar) valves. 7.
