The fоllоwing аre the bаsic steps оf а muscle contraction: I. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors II. Myosin pulls on actin III. Ca2+ binds to troponin IV. Myosin binds to actin V. Myosin releases actin VI. Ca2+ is released/unbound Which of the following puts the steps above in the correct order?
Reаd the scenаriо belоw аnd evaluate the 12-lead ECG answering the questiоns at the end of the scenario: While playing in a company racquetball tournament next door to your clinic, Jerry, a 47-year-old man suddenly stops complaining of extreme chest pressure and becomes pale and diffusely diaphoretic. His racquetball partner brings Jerry into your office because he is one of the patients in your practice and he had refused to let them call the squad. You quickly assess Jerry, give him an aspirin and have the receptionist call the EMS squad. While waiting, you contact the patient’s wife by telephone. She tells you that her husband has been complaining of chest discomfort for the past week and woke up two nights ago with what he described as “indigestion.” She says she suggested he see a clinician, and he agreed to do so—but not until after the tournament. His medical history is remarkable only for chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), for which he takes chewable antacids on a daily basis. He has no prior cardiac or pulmonary history. There is no surgical history apart from a tonsillectomy in childhood. The patient is the Chief Operating Officer at a local manufacturing facility. He is married and has three children. His parents and grandparents are alive and in good health, aside from some arthritis in the older generation. The review of systems, obtained from his wife, is noncontributory. She says he is in excellent health—he jogs, rides mountain bikes, and enjoys racquetball. Her husband attributed his recent chest discomfort to GERD; when she asked if it could be cardiac related, he adamantly denied the possibility, as he was in “excellent health” with “good genes.” Vital signs include a blood pressure of 118/56 mm Hg; pulse, 80 beats/min; respiratory rate, 18 breaths/min-1; and O2 saturation, 95% on room air. He is afebrile. Physical exam reveals a thin, otherwise healthy male who appears pale, diaphoretic, anxious and apprehensive. A focal exam reveals normal lung sounds and a regular rate and rhythm with no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. The abdomen is soft and non-tender. All peripheral pulses are strong and equal bilaterally, and there are no focal neurologic signs. A 12 lead ECG is performed as the squad arrives and is shown below: What is your 12-lead ECG Interpretation?
