The U wave on ECG is prominent in _____ and bradycardia

Patients with BP > _____/10 mmHg above goal should use two antihypertensives

_____ presents with a midsystolic click and late systolic murmur.

One complication that may occur _____ - 7 days post-MI is papillary muscle rupture, which often causes mitral regurgitation

Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an _____, irregular patterned rhythm

_____ sign is increased jugular venous pressure on inspiration

_____ is characterized by a chaotic and erratic baseline with no discrete P waves in between irregularly spaced QRS complexes on ECG
