To auscultate for a ventricular septal defect (VSD), place the stethoscope over the left sternal border, specifically in the third or fourth intercostal space. This area is where the characteristic holosystolic (or pansystolic) murmur associated with VSD is best heard. The murmur results from turbulent blood flow as blood shunts from the left ventricle to the right ventricle through the defect. Additionally, you may also hear a diastolic murmur if there is significant left-to-right shunting.
What else can I help you with?
What would you auscultate for in a seizure?
If you were going to do so, it would just be the standard heart rate and breathing.
What would the effect interventricular septal defect have upon the blood flow?
An interventricular septal defect (VSD) allows blood to flow between the left and right ventricles of the heart, creating a left-to-right shunt. This abnormal flow increases the volume of blood in the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries, potentially leading to pulmonary overcirculation and increased pressure in the lungs. Over time, this can cause pulmonary hypertension and strain on the heart. If left untreated, it may lead to heart failure and other complications.
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.
Would alpha blocker alleviate ventricular tachycardia?
No, alpha blockers would not alleviate ventricular tachycardia. However, it can be used in combination with other treatments to help in the alleviation of such.
Would a Roman soldier defect?
That's not very likely. Roman soldiers were trained to be loyal to the end. They would rather die nobly than defect. There would be some who would defect, though, since there are always exceptions to every rule.
What effect does activity of the nuerons in medial septal nuclei have?
The medial septal nuclei are located in the anteroventral cerebrum. They have reciprocal connections to other parts of the limbic system; the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, cingulate gyrus, and thalamus. They are also connected to the midbrain. What we know most about the medial septal nuclei is that they play an important role in reward and reinforcement. So, if the medial septal nuclei where stimulated, the brain would perceive a reward, a pleasurable sensation.
What would a premature ventricular contraction in which the QRS waves have the same configuration each time they appear be described as?
A group of premature ventricular contractions in which the QRS configuration is always the same are referred to as monomorphic premature ventricular contractions.
Can a stroke happen due to a hole in the heart?
Yes. In what's called an Atrial Septal Defect, a clot, such as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can travel up the inferior vena cava from the legs, into the right atrium, get shunted through the hole into the left atrium, into the left ventricle and out into circulation where it would travel up the carotids into the brain causing stroke.
Which ventricular response would be most consistent with uncontrolled atrial flutter?
120
Why would sterility be a good thing for organisms with a genetic defect?
Sterility means that they cannot reproduce, which would prevent the genetic defect from being passed on to future generations.
What atomic lattice defect aids diffusion?
I think it would be a point defect because a vacancy in the lattice structure would allow another atom to take the place of the vacancy.
For which cardiac rhythm and other problems is CPR required?
The two most common heart rhythms that require CPR is ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia is an extremely rapid cardiac rhythm and ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal cardiac rhythm. For an adult, if the person is unconscious and not breathing, CPR is required. There are numerous reasons an adult would be unconscious and not breathing; all require CPR.
