Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rapid, random, ineffectual, and irregular contractions of the heart are symptoms of fibrillation.

Answer: E
 Flutter also describes rapid and irregular contractions of the heart, but they are not necessarily ineffectual like in fibrillation.

Answer: F
 Hypertensive heart disease is caused by high blood pressure and can lead to a variety of heart problems, but it does not involve irregular heart contractions like fibrillation or flutter.

Answer: G
 Mitral valve prolapse is a condition where the valve between the heart's upper and lower left chambers doesn't close properly, but it doesn't involve irregular heart contractions like fibrillation or flutter.

The other conditions listed (coarctation of the aorta, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and tetralogy of Fallot) do not involve rapid, random, ineffectual, and irregular contractions of the heart.
