pls explain! please and thank you!
why is it important for a human heart to develop early and benign functioning within the developing embroyo?
If you had to advise future students on how to work on such a project, on cardiovascular malformation, what would you tell them?
1. is the rhythm regular or irregular 2. determine the heart rate 3. do you have p waves before every QRS 4. Measure the PR interval 5. Measure the QRS duration 6. Are there any early or extra beats 7. is there normal r wave progression in V1-V6? 8. Are the ST segments elevated or depressed? 9. Are there any abnormal Q waves? 10.. Are the T waves of normal size? 11. Are there any U waves? 12. Is there evidence of myocardial ischemia, injury, or infarction? 13. Name this EKG.
Valve regurgitation is yet another condition causing heart failure. This condition is characterized by _________________. 1)the hardening of a valve, narrowing the opening that serves as a passage of blood. 2) a valve that everts back into the previous chamber, blockig blood from progressing into the ventricle. 3) a valve that does not close completely, and allows blood to leak back into the previous chamber. 4)a valve with an opening that is too narrow, not allowing for sufficient blood to travel to the next chamber.
Hello, May I get help please? Scenario: Jamal M. has a disorder that rapidly closes the L-type voltage-gated channels on his contractile myocardial fibers. He knows this might affect some stuff in his heart, but he's unsure exactly what to expect. You should tell Jamal that he should expect…
Select the FALSE statement: /////////////////www. OA) This abnormal ECG results in increased stroke volume O B) In this abnormal ECG, the ventricles are not stimulated to contract by the SA node, the natural pacemaker. of the heart O C) This abnormal ECG is compatible with life so far as the individual does not engage in strenuous activities OD) This abnormal ECG results in decreased in CO OE) None of the above
The standard EKG consists of 10 sensors that record 12 leads of the heart’s electrical activity from different angles, allowing for a thorough three-dimensional interpretation of its activity. This is transmitted by the electrodes to the equipment to be interpreted and is used to diagnose cardiac medical conditions. In case of an abnormal EKG, the second step would be to use a Holter monitor. How would you explain to your classmates how to perform an EKG (steps)? Where will you place the electrodes when performing and EKG? Why? What are the different lead types, connections, and placements? When you conclude an EKG, what are the different components that you need to observe and confirm before you disconnect the patient? Can you explain the difference between normal, abnormal, and artifacts? What is a Holter monitor? Under what circumstances would one be ordered for a patient? How do you use a Holter monitor? Educate a patient: What you will do before, during, and after an…
What is the cardiac conduction system? Why is it important?
es) V 11. Trace the flow of impulses through the conduction system (step by step) and include at what points the following happen: 2 atria contract together 000 P F4 ● ● AV node delay occurs • interventricular septum contracts the outer walls of the 2 ventricles contract together ● F5 SEP 20 MacBook Air F6 F7 Focus ▶11 F8 BO F9 =I F10

Plsssssss helppppppp, what are observations of abnormalities in this heart, and what diseases might have contributed to this patients cause of death?
