Question 6

Accepted Answer

Design: The powers that be designed it that way. Some people don't have 4 chambers they only have 2 or 3 and the system doesn't work well that way.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: rapid beating of upper heart chambers?

Accepted Answer

Rapid Heart Beat: A Heart beat (pulse) over 100 beats per minute. The medical term is tachycardia.  There are several reasons for a tachycardia.  The most common is a sinus tachycardia which is usually a normal response to physical, emotional or metabolic exertion or illness.  Other reasons are for rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and others.

Question 8

can the four chambers of the heart contract simultaneously or at different times?

Accepted Answer

2 + 2: The 2 atria contract simultaneously. The 2 ventricles contract simultaneously.  When the atria contract, the ventricles are resting. When the ventricles contract, the atrial are resting.  Get it?

Question 9

can you please give me a technical description of reverse blood flow in heart chambers?

Accepted Answer

Blood go R-L: Blood flow from right chamber to the left chambers. Blood from your body to right chambers then to the lung to get o2. Then to the left chambers to be pump out to the whole body. It's a cycle of life. When you have valvular heart problems blood can reverse back to the right a create all source of problems. Also can reverse by defects at the inner walls of the chambers. Hope i don't confuse you.

No : Atrial septal defect does not cause low blood pressure. Just the opposite, it is one of many potential causes of pulmonary hypertension.
