ASSESSING CARDIOVASCULAR AND PERIPHERAL VASCULAR SYSTEM

Question 1

formed by left ventricle

Answer 1

left border

Question 2

is defined as the succession of
coordinated events taking place in the heart
during each beat

Answer 2

cardiac cycle

Question 2

Complete examination of the cardiovascular
system consists of

Answer 2

history taking, inspection,
palpation, percussion, and auscultation to
evaluate functioning of the heart and vessels.

Question 3

Each heart beat consists of two parts:

Answer 3

systole
diastole

Question 4

Ventricular contraction

Answer 4

systole

Question 4

Ventricular relaxation

Answer 4

diastole

Question 5

is the amount of blood the heart
pumps through the circulatory system in a
minute.

Answer 5

cardiac output

Question 6

formula for cardiac output

Answer 6

Stroke Volume x Heart Rate = Cardiac Output

Question 7

is the volume of blood pumped
out of the heart during each Systolic Cardiac
contraction.

Answer 7

*Stroke Volume

Question 8

is the speed of heartbeat measured
by the number of contractions (beats) of heart
per minute (bpm).

Answer 8

*Heart Rate

Question 9

Marks the beginning of systole (end of diastole)
It resembles to spoken word “Lub”
Loudest at the apex and lower left sternal border

Answer 9

First heart sound: S1

Question 9

Marks the end of systole (beginning of diastole)
It resembles to spoken word “Dub”
Loudest at the base

Answer 9

Second heart sound: S2

Question 10

Heard in early diastole
This may be a normal sound in some people but
in people with heart conditions may indicate
heart failure.

Answer 10

▪Third heart sound: S3

Question 11

Low-intensity sound heard just before S1 in the
cardiac cycle.
The sudden slowing of blood flow by the ventricle
as the atrium contracts causes this sound.
May be a sign of heart disease.

Answer 11

▪Fourth heart sound: S4
