Question 1

Why are arrhythmias a common EKG complication of MI?
◦ The myocardium is irritable during and after an MI.
◦ The heart pumps more often following an MI.
◦ The heart experiences bundle branch blocks during an MI.
◦ The heart has a decreased diastolic filling time after an MI.

Question 2

Why are patients experiencing MI given nitroglycerin?
◦ It improves the return of venous blood to the heart and helps prevent heart failure.
◦ It dissolves the blood clot causing the MI and reduces stresses on the heart.
◦ It decreases platelet aggregation and prevents growth of blood clots in the coronary artery.
◦ It dilates the narrowed coronary artery and allows more blood into the myocardium.
