Total questions: 23
Worksheet time: 17mins
_____ is a noninvasive test that is used to reflect underlying heart conditions. It is shown in WRITTEN RECORD of electrical voltages generated by the contracting heart and provides information about heart rate and rhythm.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Echocardiography or Ultrasound Cardiography
X-ray examination
Fluoroscopy
_____ is used to locate, study the movement, and dimensions of cardiac structures by high frequency sound waves directed towards the heart.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Echocardiography or Ultrasound Cardiography
X-ray examination
Fluoroscopy
_____ is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through solid objects, including the body. It is used to view organs, bone structure, and fluids in the lungs. It is also used to confirm the placement of pacemaker leads.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Echocardiography or Ultrasound Cardiography
X-ray examination
Fluoroscopy
_____ is used in many types of examination and procedure such as barium X-ray, Cardiac Catheterization, arthrography (visualization of joints), lumbar puncture, placement of Intravenous catheters (hollow tube inserted into veins or arteries). Movement of contrast dye can be monitored in motion picture.
Exposes pt to radiation.
Cardiac Catheterization
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Phonocardiography
Fluoroscopy
_____ is a diagram of heart sounds translated into electrical energy by a microphone placed on the child’s chest and recorded the diagrammatic representation of the heart sounds.
Ø Measure the heart sound
Ø Direct auscultation.
Cardiac Catheterization
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Phonocardiography
Fluoroscopy
_____ is used by using large magnets and radio- frequency waves to evaluate heart structures or blood flow to record heart sounds.
Ø NOT a radioactive or iodine-based
Ø Can be repeated without radiation.
Cardiac Catheterization
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Phonocardiography
Fluoroscopy
_____ Ø A small radiopaque catheter is passed through a major vein in the arm, leg, or neck into the heart to secure blood samples or inject the dye.
Ø Used to evaluate and diagnose cardiac function.
Ø Used to correct cardiac disorders such as narrowed valves by using a balloon catheter or other devices.
Ø Contrast media is injected for angiography or Magnetic resonance scanning.
Cardiac Catheterization
Exercise Testing
Blood Serum Test
Fluoroscopy
_____ Ø Used a treadmill walking to demonstrate proper pulmonary circulation.
Ø Caution to the children with heart disorder that obstruct the flow of blood to the lungs (Pulmonary Stenosis). Signs and symptoms; exertional dyspnea – diff. to perform.
