About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the BCEN CEN exam provide a focused review of essential cardiovascular terminology and clinical shortcuts you will encounter on test day. From fundamental measures like MAP and EF to diagnostic tools such as TTE and TEE, each card reinforces the acronyms, definitions, and relationships that underpin hemodynamic assessment and cardiac imaging.
The deck also covers pathologies and interventions frequently tested, including ACS, MI, CHF, arrhythmias like A-Fib and V-Fib, and lifesaving procedures such as PCI, CABG, and CPR. Rapid recall of medication classes-ACEI, ARBs, the RAAS pathway-and routine monitoring values like BP and CPK will strengthen your clinical reasoning and exam speed.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Hemodynamic measurements
- Diagnostic imaging abbreviations
- Arrhythmias & rhythms
- Cardiac diseases & ACS
- Interventions & procedures
- Cardiovascular pharmacology
