Cardiac 2

John, a cardiologist, is reviewing a case study for an educational seminar. He wants to highlight the most common type of Cardiomyopathy. Which one should he focus on?

• Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

• Dilated Cardiomyopathy

• Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Imagine you're a nurse monitoring a patient's heart during a busy shift at the hospital. What does the term 'cardiac preload' refer to in this specific scenario?

• Amount of blood leaving the heart to the body

• Pressure in the arteries during heart contraction

• Volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute

• Amount of blood available to be pumped out

1.       Consider a professional soccer player diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (CM). During a high-stakes match, why does their HR need to increase to maintain their cardiac output (CO) while running intensely?

• To compensate for the reduced chamber size and maintain cardiac output (CO)

• To maintain blood pressure and CO

• To decrease heart rate and CO

• To increase chamber size and decrease CO

    John, a 54-year-old man, comes to the clinic complaining of swelling in his legs and noticing his neck veins appear more prominent than usual. Based on these symptoms, which type of heart failure is John most likely experiencing?

• Left-sided heart failure

• Right-sided heart failure

• Congestive heart failure

• Pulmonary heart failure

John, an avid marathon runner, has been diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. How can a pacemaker help him?

• A pacemaker increases blood pressure in Cardiomyopathy.

• A pacemaker assists in improving lung function in Cardiomyopathy.

• A pacemaker regulates the heart's rhythm to improve symptoms of Cardiomyopathy.

• A pacemaker helps in reducing cholesterol levels in Cardiomyopathy.

Imagine a patient with heart failure is prescribed medication by their doctor. What is the primary function of this medication if it's a diuretic?

• They increase heart rate to improve cardiac output

• They reduce blood volume to decrease heart workload

• They thicken the heart muscle for stronger contractions

• They directly repair damaged heart tissue

During a routine check-up, a patient's CVP reading comes out to be 1. This could indicate?

• Normal blood pressure

• Low fluid volume

• Normal CVP value

• High fluid volume

John, a 65-year-old man with a history of heart failure, is seeking advice on lifestyle modifications to reduce his symptoms. Which of the following is most recommended?

• Increasing protein intake

• Reducing sodium intake

• Elevating the head while sleeping

• Performing high-intensity interval training

   During a routine check-up, how does measuring Central Venous Pressure help a doctor?

• Central Venous Pressure helps in assessing the temperature of the patient's blood

• Central Venous Pressure provides insights into how well the right side of the heart is functioning.

• It measures the oxygen saturation levels in the patient's lungs

• It is used to determine the heart rate of the patient

  John, a 45-year-old man, has been prescribed Ace inhibitors for his condition. What common side effect might he experience?

• Dry cough

• Weight gain

• Muscle pain

• Headache
