cardiac Flashcards
left side of the heart associated with what?
the arteries
right side the heart is associated with what?
the veins
flow of blood through the heart
blood comes through inferior and superior vena cava to RIGHT atrium- tricuspid valve- RIGHT ventricle- pulmonic valve- pulmonary artery- none 02 blood exchanged for 02 blood-pulmonary veins- LEFT atrium- mitral valve- LEFT ventricle- aortic valve- Aorta- distributed through out body
PMI
point of maximum impulse (the apex beat)
located 7cm-9cm left lateral to midsternal line
S1
closure of AV valves (mitral and tricuspid) heard during systole LUB-dub. occurs when ventricular pressure builds to the point of forcing AV valves closed and forcing open semilunar valves
S2
closure of semi-lunar valves (pulmonary and aortic) heard during end of systole lub-DUB. occurs after ventricular ejection of blood dropping pressure in ventricles forcing semi-lunar valves to close
preload
blood building up in ventricles
afterload
blood being ejected from ventricles
SA node
in right atrium 60-100bpm
AV node
in atrium in septum 40-60bpm
bundle of his
found in end of septum wrapping around both ventricles; forming the left bundle branch and right bundle branch and purkinje fibers
P in (P-QRS-T)
when the atrium depolarizes, blood flowing from atria to ventricles
QRS in (P-QRS-T)
ventricular depolarization; ventricle reaching maximum pressure forcing open semilunar valves and ejecting blood.
T in (P-QRS-T)
repolarization of ventricles,
ausculatory area: Aortic
right sternal border second intercostal space s2 louder than s1
ausculatory area: Pulmonic
left sternal border second intercostal space; s2 louder than s1
ausculatory area: Erb’s point
left sternal border 3rd intercostal space; s2 louder than s1
ausculatory area: Tricuspid
left midsternal 4th intercostal space; s1 louder than s2
ausculatory area: Mitral
left 4th-5th interspace midclavicular line
s3
ken-tuc-KEY happens right after filling of ventricles. (after s2) results from changes in blood flow in diastole, when rapid filling ends and slow filling begins
