Q

What happens to the aortic and pulm valves in phase 5

A

aortic valve closes
followed by closure of pulm valve
- closure of the semilunar valves cooresponds to second heart sound

Q

Second heart sound corresponds to what?

A

closure of the semilunar valves

36
Q

What phase is the second heart sound audible in?

37
Q

What is the AV valve doing in phase 5?

A

it remains closed during most of this phase

38
Q

In phase 5, what is happening to the ventricular pressure? why?

A

Ventricular pressure decreases rapidly bc ventricals are now relaxed

-when V.Pressure is LESS than A.Pressure the mitral valve opens

39
Q

What phase are the ventricles relaxed?

40
Q

In phase 5, what is happening to the ventricular volume? why?

A

ventricular vol. is constant (ISOVOLUMETRIC) b/c ALL Valves are closed.

41
Q

with all valves being closed in phase 5, what does this do the the volume in the ventricles?

A

it is constant, isovolumetric

42
Q

In phase 5, when V.Pressure is < A.Pressure what happens?

A

the mitral valve opens

43
Q

What is the dicrotic notch?

A

the “blip” in the aortic pressure tracing occuring after closure of the aortic valve

44
Q

After the closure of the aortic valve, what is noted on the aortic pressure tracing?

A

the dicrotic notch

45
Q

Is the dicrotic notch a normal finding?

A

Yes.

If not there, cardiac abnormality expected

46
Q

End of the T wave is representative of what phase?

A

phase 5. repolarization of ventricles now complete

47
Q

Phase 6 of cardiac cycle is:

A

Rapid ventricular filling

48
Q

Rapid ventricular filling of phase 6 occurs when:

A

The mitral valve is open

-ventricular filling from the atrium begins

49
Q

In phase 6 the aortic pressure:

A

continues to decrease

-because blood continues to run off into the smaller arteries

50
Q

Rapid flow of blood from the atria into the ventricle causes what?

A

the third heart sound (S3)

Q

S3 is normal or abnormal?

75
Q

Contractility, afterload and preload affect

A

Stroke Volume

76
Q

Stroke Volume is affected by what components:

A

Contractility, afterload and preload

77

78
Q

Contractility (and SV) decreases with:

A
  1. ) beta-1 blockade
  2. HF
  3. Acidosis
  4. Hypoxia /hypercapnea
79
Q

How do Catecholamines impact contractility? what do they do?

A

increase contractility

- increase activity of Ca ++ pump in SR

80
Q

Digitalis impacts contractility- how?

A

increased contractility

-increases intracellular Na+ resulting in increased Ca++

Ejection Fraction is the (define)

A

82

A

Ejection fraction

86
Q

Ejection fraction = (equation)
