Answer to Question 1

C
The wall of the left ventricle is threefold thicker than that of the right because the left ventricle propels blood to most vessels of the body. The right ventricle moves blood only through the blood vessels of the lungs and then into the left atrium.

Answer to Question 2

D
With multifocal atrial tachycardia, the atrial and ventricular rhythms are usually irregular as the pacemaker site shifts from the SA node to ectopic atrial locations or AV junction.
