What conditions are contraindicated for myocardial resection?
right heart failure, elevated left ventricular enddiastolic pressures, and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the circulation around the lungs).
What is normal perfusion?
Well pulse pressure is systolic (top) minus diastolic (bottom). So the value you get should be between 30-49 to be normal.
What is the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
If a myocardial infarction damaged the left bundle branch how would this affect the spread of the action potential?
Ventricular depolarization takes longer because impulses in the left ventricle must travel from cell to cell rather than traveling down the left bundle branch and Purkinje fibers. (This will lead to a longer QRS complex on an ECG)
What is a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
What are the risks of a misfire of the left ventricle?
The risk of left ventricular misfire is a left ventricular free wall rupture. A misfire in either the right or the left ventricle of the heart is an electrical problem with the circuitry. These conditions are usually treated through angioplasty.
What causes QRS complex to reverse?
left ventricular contraction
What type of blood is located you the left side of the heart?
Ventricular
What is the major determinant of the left ventricular preload?
aortic diastolic pressure
The Right and left ventricles are separated by the?
The right and left venrticles are separated by the interventicular septum.
What structure divides the left atrium and left ventricle?
the septum divides the teo ventricles of the heart.
Which chamber of the heart has the highest probability of being the site of myocardial infarction?
left ventricle
