Atrial fib - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Afib The impulse originates in the Atria • The Atrial rate is > 300 and unable to measure [N/A] • No discernable P waves - PRI & Atrial rhythm cannot be measured [N/A] • The Ventricular rhythm is irregular • QRS within normal limits • If the Ventricular rate is <100 the rhythm is controlled A-fib; if the Ventricular rate is > 100 the rhythm is uncontrolled A-fib • This is a chronic rhythm for some patients Treatment: controlled patients: anticoagulants and antiarryt...

UTA 5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Summer Test 3 Questions and Answers Rated A+ Mitral Valve Stenosis - Characterized by NARROWING of mitral valve - Normal is 4-6 cm -Narrowed is less than 2.5 cm - Caused by RHEUMATIC FEVER -More common in WOMEN -Oxygenated blood comes back into heart into the left atrium and down through the mitral valve to the left ventricle - Complex: Stenosis leads to volume/pressure in left atrium, which results in atrial hypertrophy/dilation, which increases press...
