Chief Complaint: 74-year-old woman with shortness of breath and swelling. History: Martha Wilmington, a 74-year-old woman with a history of rheumatic fever while in her twenties, presented to her physician with complaints of increasing shortness of breath ("dyspnea") upon exertion. She also noted that the typical swelling she's had in her ankles for years has started to get worse over the past two months, making it especially difficult to get her shoes on toward the end of the day. In the past week, she's had a decreased appetite, some nausea and vomiting, and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. On physical examination, Martha's jugular veins were noticeably distended. Auscultation of the heart revealed a low-pitched, rumbling systolic murmur, heard best over the left upper sternal border. In addition, she had an extra, "S3" heart sound. Top of Form

5. You examine Martha's abdomen and find that she has an enlarged liver ("hepatomegaly") and a moderate degree of ascites (water in the peritoneal cavity). Explain these findings. 6. Examination of her ankles reveals significant "pitting edema." Explain this finding. 7. She is advised to wear support stockings. Why would this help her? 8. Which term more accurately describes the stress placed upon Martha's heart -- increased pre-load or increased afterload? 9. What is the general term describing Martha's condition? 10. How might Martha's body compensate for the above condition? 11. Martha is started on a medication called digoxin. Why was she given this medication, and how does it work? 12. Two weeks after starting digoxin, Martha returns to the physician's office for a follow-up visit. On physical examination, she still has significant hepatomegaly and pitting edema, and is significantly hypertensive (i.e. she has high blood pressure). Her physician prescribes a diuretic called furosemide (or "Lasix"). Why was she given this

Which of the following would be good evidence that the negative resting potential of a cell is due to Cl- diffusing in ? (choose all that are correct)

- Anoxia causes an immediate large change in the membrane potential

- When Cl- channel blockers are applied, the membrane potential goes toward zero

- When Cl- concentrations outside the cell are raised, the membrane potential becomes more positive

-When Cl- concentrations are raised outside the cell, the membrane potential becomes more negative

Compare and Contrast the Neuronal Action Potential vs Cardiac Action Potential. Focus on the STEPS (depolorization, refractory period repolorization, Na/K pumps, resting membrane potential, ect...) of the both action potentials and identify the difference(s).
What is the significance and involvement of Calcium ions in the cardiac action potentials? Why are Calcium ions not necessary in the neuronal action potentials, but are essential in the myocardial AP?
