heart sounds & ABP

heart sounds can be plotted using a device know as ..............?

• electrocardiograph

• cardiomyograph

• phonocardiograph

• Echocardiograph

all of the following can be a cause of heart sounds except:

• closure of mitral and tricaspid valves

• rush of blood between cardiac chambers

• vibrations set in cardiac muscle

• opening of aortic and pulmonary valves

if you put your medical stethoscope over the shown red circle on a healthy person, you expect to heart:

• 1st HS

• 2nd HS

• 3rd HS

• 4th HS

closure of the shown valves is the cause of:

• early component of 2nd HS

• late component of 2nd HS

• early component of 1st HS

• late component of 1st HS

the loudest and sharpest HS is:

• 4th HS

• 3rd HS

• 2nd HS

• 1st HS

1st HS is characterized by all the following except:

• being the only systolic sound

• increase (louder) with expiration

• the longest HS in duration

• soft and low pitched sound

if you measured ABP at a level 10 cm below the heart, you expect the results to be .............. than the actual ABP.

• same as

• lower by 7.7

  mmHg

• higher by 7.7

  mmHg

• higher by 0.77 mmHg

regarding the effect of respiration on ABP, ABP is at its highest levels at.............

• end of inspiration

• beginning of inspiration

• end of expiration

• mid expiration

the occluded artery during measuring ABP is .................

• radial artery medial to flexor carpi radialis tendon

• radial artery lateral to flexor carpi radialis tendon

• brachial artery medial to biceps tendon

• brachial artery lateral to biceps tendon

auscultatory gap is a common error during measuring ABP with ................ method

• both palpatory & auscultatory methods

• neither of them

• auscultatory method only

• palpatory method only
