Also, do you guys have a way to find out if you're ready for the regionals test? And what are your last minute preparations/things you revisit?

Take practice tests for sure (which you should do for all of your study events), I mean idk anything else that is a good indicator of readiness.

Thanks!
Wait, so do they use any other instruments other than the ECG? Also, I can't find any source explaining the Frank-Starling's Law of the Heart. What is it exactly?
i guess they can ask questions about tachycardia and bradicardia arrhythmia etc all detected via EKG, also sphigmomanometer for bloodpressure measurements, may be you need to identify the instrument. most hospitals use digital ones but the original one used to be mercury and manual inflation.
as for frank starling's law, you can read the page about it in a site cvphysiology, the picture of pressure volume loop is one that could be asked. (i am not sure if i can post links here, hence just posting how to find the article.

Very similar to the previous question, but did anybody find an easier explanation of the law? Because I found some sources, but they didn't help me understand the law. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

basically starlings law says that the more ventricular muscle is stretched by blood (or any muscle for that matter), the more it will contract, so better pumping. so more diastolic filling -> high end diastolic volume, more stretching of ventricular muscle, better pumping. essentially you are increasing stroke volume and Cardiac output when more blood fills ventricles.
hope this helps.

No, just an invitational.
