Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy will shift the apical beat.
What does inadequate ventricular systole mean?
It is a defective ventricular contraction.
What does a ventricular shunt relieve?
A ventricular shunt relieves hydrocephalus
Does ventricular pressure increase the fastest during ventricular filling?
yes
When does Isovolumetric relaxation and ventricular filling take place?
Ventricular Diastole
Which would produce the most life-threatening condition atrial flutter ventricular flutter atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation, since this pumps blood to the rest of the body.
During ventricular systole is ventricular pressure increasing or decreasing?
increasing! :D
What effect does atropine have on heart rate?
Ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia.
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.
What cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Cardiac arrhythmia is usually fatal unless reversed by electric defibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmia is also sometimes referred to as ventricular fibrillation.
A diagram of the ventricular systole in the heart?
This can be seen by clicing on the link below ( The ventricular systole )
What is a ventricular shunt used for?
Ventricular shunt relieves hydrocephalus, a condition in which the ventricles are enlarged.
