Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

35. What effect does aortic regurg have on the pulse pressure? Why?






36. When do neutrophils infiltrate the myocardium post MI?






37. When is a post - MI pt at highest risk for an aneurysm? With what microscopic change is this complication associated?






38. Why are cardiac enzymes elevated after an MI?






39. Unexpected death due to cardiac disease w/o sx or <1hr after sx arise?
