Which Word?: Exercises 5.31–5.35. Select the correct answer‚ and write it on the line provided. High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol is also known as good cholesterol. An abnormally slow resting heart rate is described as bradycardia. In atrial fibrillation‚ instead of pumping strongly‚ the heart muscle quivers ineffectively. The highest pressure against the blood vessels is systolic pressure‚

through the heart disrupts the normal coordination of heart muscles. These muscles lose their vital rhythm and begin a process known as ventricular fibrillation. Death soon follows. 0.25 Amps/250mA is equal to the current flowing through a 60W Bulb. What is ventricular fibrillation? The heart beats when electrical signals move through it. Ventricular fibrillation is a condition in which the heart’s electrical activity becomes disordered. When this happens‚ the heart’s lower (pumping) chambers

TYPES OF PACEMAKERS The classification of pacemakers into different types is based on the mode of application of the stimulating pulses to the heart. EXTERNAL PACEMAKERS: These are used when the heart block presents itself as an emergency and when it is expected to be present for a short time i.e during critical post operative periods and in patients during cardiac surgery‚ involving the valves or septum. * The pacemaker is placed outside the body. It may be in the form of wrist watch or in
