Lower left

Death from Marfan syndrome can occur from a dissection of which major vessel?

Aorta

A person who has Marfan syndrome will not display

short stature

When performing an ECG, what color lead is usually attached to the left arm?

Black

Which of the following is an indication for using aspirin?

Hemodynamically stable

Which condition is triggered by a blunt, nonpenetrating blow to the precordial area without structural injury to the ribs, sternum, or heart?

Commotio cordis

_______________ is the volume of blood pumped by the heart in 1 minute and is related to heart rate and contractility.

Cardiac output

_______________ is a sinus rate <60 bpm and is common in the athlete and well-trained client.

Sinus bradycardia

Structural causes of sudden cardiac death in athletes include _______________ such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.

genetic cardiomyopathies

_______________ is one of the most common causes of nontraumatic sudden cardiac death in athletes.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, HCM

_______________ is a delayed repolarization following a heartbeat that increases the risk irregular heartbeats originating from the ventricles.

Long QT syndrome

Athletic trainers should be prepared to administer over-the-counter medications such as _______________ for treatment of cardiac symptoms.

aspirin

Basketball is by far the highest-risk sport for incidents of sudden cardiac death.

True

In younger athletes, sudden cardiac death is primarily attributed to coronary artery disease.

False

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited structural disorder characterized by a heart weight of less than 50% of the expected mean weight based on sex, age, and body size for weight or height.

False

Using the Valsalva maneuver decreases the sound of the heart murmur and is used as a positive test.

False

Patients with acute myocarditis are advised to withdraw from competitive sports and other vigorous exercise for up to 6 months or longer after onset.

True

Marfan syndrome effects results in right ventricular failure.

False

The American Heart Association describes four links in a chain of survival to emphasize the time-sensitive interventions for victims of SCA, which includes CPR before calling 9-1-1.

False

The single greatest factor affecting survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the time interval from arrest to defibrillation.

True

Only health care personnel associated with practices, competitions, skills instruction, and strength and conditioning activities should have current certification in CPR and training in the use of AEDs at a minimum.

False

Cardiovascular disease, or more specifically CAD, results from fatty deposits or plaques that accumulate in the walls of veins.

False
