1. Pulsus Paradoxus is associated with pericardical tomponade, advanced heart failure and constrictive pericarditis.
2. ⇑ INR Values may indicate disseminated intravascular coagulation, hepatitis, Vit. K deficiency salicylate intoxication or uncontrolled oral anti-coagulation.
3. The only artery that carry deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs called pulmonary artery.
4. The valve between right atrium and right ventricle called tricuspid valve (Right atrioventricular valve (which prevent backward flow of blood into right atrium).
5. Apical pulse is the most accurate pulse point in the body.
6. The sequence of CPR is CAB (Circulation airway, breathing).
7. Myocardium is the middle layer of heart and forms most of heart wall.

10. Pericardium has two layers: the Parietal and the visceral layer.
11. The most common symptoms of MI is chest pain resulting from deprivation of oxygen of heart.
12. The heart inner layer is called endocardium.
13. The myocardium has striated muscle fibres that cause the heart to contract.
14. Tricuspid valve abnormalities are heard at the 3rd & 4th Intercostal spaces along the sternal border.
15. Aortic valve malfunction is heard as a murmur.
16. Mitral valve abnormalities are heard at the 5th I.C.S. (intercostal space) in midclavicular line.
17. Amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute called cardiac output.
18. Epinephrine, released by adrenal gland (located superior to kidney) increase HR.
19. SA node is known as the “pacemaker” of heart.
20. A myocardial infarction, if severe can cause heart failure.
21. Tricuspid valve is known as right atrioventricular valve.
22. The classical sign of left-sided heart failure is crackles in the lungs.
23. Cardiomyopathy is usually identified as a symptom of left-sided heart failure.

37. Classic sign of acute pulmonary edema include production of pink frothy sputum.
38. Pulmonary edema is a life threatening complication of heart failure.
39. Preload is the stretching of muscle fibres in the ventricles as the ventricles fill with blood.

41. Purkinje fibre have firing rate of 20-40 beats per minute.
42. The most common symptom of hypertension is headache.
43. A decreased in cerebral blood flow causes restlessness, agitation or confusion.
44. HR, B.P and decreased cerebral blood flow are less useful in detecting the risk of cardiogenic shock.
45. Coronary artery bypass grafting is a surgical intervention of atherosclerotic vessels.
46. Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening emergency.
47. Cardiac arrhythmias are not directly linked to an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
48. HTN is linked to more than 50% of clients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
