What makes up the Triangle of Koch?
TA, CS, tendon of Todaro, HIS
What constitutes the fibrous skeleton of the heart?
Tricuspid annulus, mitral, aortic and pulmonary valves
Fast pathway anatomy:
Anterior-superior aspect of the tricuspid valve, close to the HIS.
What is normal CO?
4-8L/min
CO = HR x SV
What is normal EF?
65%
SV/EDV
What is the time from the mitral valve closing to the opening of the aortic valve?
Isovolumic contraction
What describes the resistance that the heart must overcome to eject blood?
After load
Infranodal block is conduction block involving?
The HIS purkinje system
Characteristics of 1st degree heart block
Slowing in AVN with a PR >200
1:1 relationship a to v
Characteristics of 2nd degree AV block
PR gradually prolongs and a V is dropped.
AKA Wenckebach
Mobitz 1
Characteristics of 3rd degree HB
Disassociation of A and V.
Mobitz type 2
What are the prerequisites for reentry?
- Two circuits with a common connection.
- Different conduction velocities
- Different refractory PDA
What is orthodromic tachycardia?
Down the node up the pathway
