Cardiac cycle Flashcards
What is associated with S4 heart sound?
End of atrial emptying, after atrial contraction
What is associated with S1 heart sound?
Closing of AV valves
What is associated with S2 heart sound?
Semilunar valves close
What is the cause of the physiological split of S2?
Aortic valve closes earlier than pulmonary valve
What is associated with S3 heart sound?
Filling of ventricles –> increased turbulence
What is the normal pressure range of the R atrium?
2-8 mmHg
What are the normal pressure ranges of the R ventricle?
Systolic: 15-30 mmHg
Diastolic: 2-8 mmHg
What are the normal pressure ranges of the pulmonary arteries?
Systolic: 15-30 mmHg
Diastolic: 4-12 mmHg
What is the normal pressure range of the pulmonary capillaries?
2-10 mmHg
What is the normal pressure range of the L atrium?
2-10 mmHg
What are the normal pressure ranges of the L ventricle?
Systolic: 100-140 mmHg
Diastolic: 3-12 mmHg
What are the normal pressure ranges of the aorta?
Systolic: 100-140 mmHg
Diastolic: 60-90 mmHg
What causes the jugular venous pulse?
Pressure fluctuations in the R atrium
What does the a wave/peak in jugular venous pressure represent?
R atrial systole
What does the c wave/peak in jugular venous pressure represent?
R ventricular contraction causing bulging of tricuspid valve into the R atrium
