Cardiac Cycle/Murmurs Flashcards
During which phase (systole or diastole) are the AV valves closed to prevent the backflow of blood?
systole
True or False: AV valves open and close passively are are wimpy like Brainy from Hey Arnold.
True.
breathes breathes breathes
True or False: the papillary muscles help the AV valves close via the chordae tendinae.
FALSE. The AV valves are passive.
So what’s the fxn of the papillary muscles?
They pull the vanes of the valves inwards towards the ventricles to prevent their buldging too far backward into the atria.
What % of blood flows into the ventricles PASSIVELY from the atria?
80%
What causes the additional 20% of the ejected blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles?
atrial contraction
Rapid ventricular filling (passively) occurs how long in the filling phase?
first 1/3
What causes the “a” wave on the atrial pressures?
“a”trial contraction
What causes the “c” wave on the atrial pressures?
‘c”losure of the AV valves
What causes the “v” wave on the atrial pressures?
“v”entricular contraction
This is the period where the ventricles are actively contracting but there is no ejection.
Isovolumetric contraction
After the ventricles get a pressure higher than the aorta, blood is squirted into the aorta, leading to this phase.
Rapid ejection phase.
After the blood is squirted itno the aorta, the pressures are higher than the LV, closing the aortic valve, and leading to this phase of the cardiac cycle.
Isovolumetric relaxation
What causes the S1?
Closure of the AV valves
What electrical disordere can cause S1 to split?
RBBB
Conditions that shorten the PR interval (MS, high CO or tachycardia) can cause which one: accentuated or reduced S1?
Accentuated
Which conditions can prolong the PR interval, causing a reduced S1 sound?
1st degree AV block, MR, MS, stiff LV
What causes the late pulmonic closure to cause the splitting of S2?
expansion of the chest during inspiration creates a negative pressure in the chest –> increased capacitance of the pulmonary vessels –> delay in diastolic back pressure onto pulomary valve –> P2 delayed
What causes the early atrial valve closure to cause the splitting of S2?
increased capacity of intrahtoracic veins from neg pressure –> reduced venous return to LA and LV –> reduced LV filling –> shortened LV filling –> early A2 during inspiration
The intensity of S2 depends on what factor of the blood?
velocity
RBBB or PS can cause what abnormal splitting of S2?
Widened splitting
ASD can cause what abnormal splitting of S2?
Fixed splitting
LBBB or AS can cause what abnormal splitting of S2?
Paradoxical splitting
Where in the the cardiac cycle is S3 found?
Early diastole
“Ken——tuck–y”
Is S3 sharp or dull?
dull
