NURS 4010 COMPRE:ENS=VE F=NAL REV=EW EXAM UPDATED QUEST=ONS AND ACCURATE ANSWERS GRADED A+ What is the treatment for a STEMI (ST Elevations Myocardial Infarction)? The goal is to stabilize the heart and restore perfusion to the cardiac tissue. The best treatment is to get the patient into the cath lab. The cath lan can: 1) percutaneous coronary intervention (PC=), 2) thrombolytics (clot busters), or 3) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). What is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)? An angiogram is performed to look at the coronary arteries using dye. Once the block is located, a stent will be delivered to the area and opened with a balloon (angioplasty). Which areas of the heart are supplied blood by the left anterior descending artery (LAD)? The anterior wall of the left ventricle and the inferior wall of the left ventricle. Which areas of the heart are supplied blood by the right coronary artery (RCA)? The right atrium, the SA node, and the AV node. Which wall of the heart has the most serious complications if it infarcts? The anterior wall. What is the difference between a STEMI and a non-STEMI?A STEM= is characterized by complete occlusion and can be seen on an ECG
