Action Potential

a measurement of the membrane potential waveform of the cardiac myocytes signifying the electrical activity of the cell during the contraction and relaxation of the heart

New cards
19

Asystole

without contraction, flat line. when your heart's electrical system fails entirely, which causes your heart to stop pumping

New cards
20

Cardiac Output

is determined by two key factors:

o   Heart rate

o   Left ventricular output (stroke volume)

New cards
21

Fibrillation

very rapid irregular contractions of the muscle fibers of the heart resulting in a lack of synchronism between heartbeat and pulse
