Otterbein/Grant CRNA ECG III Quick Review
-
When identifying ischemia in the absence of LVH or LBBB, new ST elevation, or ST depression with T-wave changes must be identified in how many contiguous leads?
This Otterbein\/Grant CRNA ECG III Quick Review assesses understanding of myocardial ischemia, ECG changes, and related cardiology concepts. It tests knowledge crucial for medical professionals dealing with heart-related conditions, emphasizing intraoperative considerations and anatomical correlations.

L BBB and LVH make the diagnosis of MI impossible (or rather difficult).

True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
I'm not sure if it's just anterior and posterior or if it's all MI's...just remember to check for LVH and LBBB!Rate this question:

Myocardial ischemia occurs when there is a relative lack of O2 supply to the myocardium and metabolite removal from the heart for a given O2 consumption; it is classically noted as symmetrical __ wave changes.

When examining an EKG for a suspected posterior MI, you would look for ST ______ in leads V1 and V2.
-
Elevation
-
Depression
Correct Answer
A. DepressionExplanation
When examining an EKG for a suspected posterior MI, you would look for ST depression in leads V1 and V2. This is because ST depression in these leads is indicative of ischemia or injury in the posterior wall of the heart. It suggests that the blood supply to the posterior region of the heart is compromised, possibly due to a myocardial infarction. Therefore, the presence of ST depression in leads V1 and V2 can help confirm the diagnosis of a posterior MI.Rate this question:

An infarction of which of the following areas would most likely have the greatest effect on SA/AV node conduction?
-
Inferior
-
Anterior
-
Posterior
-
Anterolateral
Correct Answer

Due to RCA involvement - RCA supplies SA node in 80% of populationRate this question:
