Cardiac This is an involuntary muscle‚ found solely in the walls of the heart‚ as well as in the walls of the blood vessels. This sort of muscle has similarities with the skeletal muscles‚ because it is striated. Furthermore‚ it has slight similarities to the smooth muscles‚ because its contractions are not under conscious control. On the other hand this type of muscle is highly specialised. It is under the control of the autonomic nervous system‚ however‚ even without nervous imput contractions

Arrhythmia Information Once an arrhythmia has been documented‚ it’s important to try to find out where it originates. It’s also necessary to find out whether it’s abnormal or merely reflects the heart’s normal processes. The arrhythmia must be abnormal and clinically significant before it warrants treatment. That means it must either cause symptoms or put a person at risk for more serious arrhythmias or complications of arrhythmias in the future. (American Heart Association) Risk Factors:

Chapter 36: Nursing Management: Dysrhythmias Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. To determine whether there is a delay in impulse conduction through the atria‚ the nurse will measure the duration of the patient’s a. P wave. b. Q wave. c. P-R interval. d. QRS complex. ANS: A The P wave represents the depolarization of the atria. The P-R interval represents depolarization of the atria‚ atrioventricular (AV) node‚ bundle of His‚ bundle branches‚ and the Purkinje fibers. The QRS represents ventricular depolarization

→ Purkinje fibers left and right bundle branches At what structure in the transmission sequence is the impulse temporarily delayed? AV node Why? Allows completion of atrial contraction before initiation of ventricular systole. 2. Even though cardiac muscle has an inherent ability to beat‚ the nodal system plays a critical role in heart physiology. What is that role? Ensures that depolarization proceeds in an orderly manner from atria to ventricles; accelerates and coordinates heart activity to

ECG is a powerful tool in the diagnosis of heart disease. It is exciting to unlock the codes behind the squiggles and spikes and actually decipher a patient’s heart patterns. However‚ I was having trouble identifying atrioventricular (AV) heart blocks. Therefore‚ I was extremely reassured by the first sentence of this article. Apparently‚ it is common to have difficulty decoding these rhythms‚ which gives me hope that with knowledge and practice‚ I will master them. Part of

Is Therapeutic Hypothermia More Beneficial Than Maintaining Normothermia Post-Cardiac Arrest? To what extent does inducing hypothermia benefit patients? What exactly are the benefits‚ and do they come with risks? There have been many trials dealing with therapeutic hypothermia that exhibit advantageous neurological outcomes post-cardiac arrest. Most of these trials lead

CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION CPT PROCEDURE Joanne Johnson AHLT 255 – Advanced Coding Abstract Cardiac catheterization or Heart catheterization is a common diagnostic procedure for many heart-related problems. It examines blood flow to the heart and test how well the heart is pumping. It is the only test that is 100% accurate for diagnosis of possible blockages is a heart cath. Having a catheterization done can prevent heart attacks that cause muscle damage to the heart. Before the procedure you
