Frage 1
Frage
The action potential propagates as a wave of depolarization through the conduction system myocardium. This wave is the electrical signal that triggers myocardial contraction.
Frage 2
Frage
Which of the following is FALSE regarding electrocardiography?
Antworten
-
It provides information about cardiac size (hypertrophy) and the mean vector (direction) of ventricular or atrial activation (mean electrical axis-MEA)
-
Is indicated when the heart rate is too high, too slow, or the rhythm is inappropriately irregular
-
A wave of depolarization directed towards the positive electrode of a lead results in a positive deflection on the EKG
-
The normal heart depolarizes from left to right, cranial to caudal, and dorsal to ventral
Frage 3
Frage
Which of the following are correctly paired? Check all that apply.
Antworten
-
Atrial depolarization- P wave
-
Atrial depolarization- QRS complex
-
Atrial depolarization- T wave
-
Ventricular depolarization- QRS complex
-
Ventricular depolarization- P wave
-
Ventricular depolarization- T wave
-
Ventricular repolarization- T wave
-
Ventricular repolarization- QRS complex
-
Ventricular repolarization- P wave
Frage 4
Frage
MEA (mean electrical axis) is the dominant direction of atrial activation.
Frage 5
Frage
What is the origin of a narrow QRS?
Frage 6
Frage
Which of the following is FALSE regarding arrhythmias?
Antworten
-
Develop when the conduction system prevents initiation or propagation of the wave front
-
They are clinically important because they can be responsible for clinical signs including syncope, low cardiac output, and sudden cardiac death
-
Tachyarrhythmias develop with high vagal tone
-
Bradyarrhythmias develop when disease of the conduction system slows the rate of depolarization or "blocks" conduction

Frage 11
Frage
How are AV blocks resolved?
Antworten
-
They aren't, the patient just lives with it
-
Administration of atropine
-
Exercise
-
They resolve on their own
