IER CardioPulmonary
Diagnostic Testing
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Chest X rays | reveals abnormalities in lungs, overall cardiac shape and size Aneurysms |
Electrocardiography (ECG) | Used to asses cardiac function at rest, during exercsie and after exercise |
P wave | Atrial depolarization |
QRS wave | Ventricular depolirzation |
ST segment | Beginning of Ventricular Replorization |
T wave | Equals Ventricular Repolarization |
PVCs | Premature Ventrciular Contraction More than 3-5 consecutive PVCs per minute, occur in pairs or mutlifocal are serious during exercise |
Ventricle Tachycardia | 3 or more PVCs occuring sequintially wide QRS, no p waves No p waves |
Ventricular Fibrillation | Chaotic activity |
ST Depression | Indicate ischemia if down slopping 2-3mm |
ST Elevation | Shows new infarct or injury or pericarditis |
Inverted T Wave | Indicates ischemia |
Wide QRS wave | occurs with bundle branch heart blocks slow ventricular rate decrease cardio output |
