what is ejection fraction?

A

the percentage of blood ejected from the ventricles with each beat

29
Q

____ heart failure is common in LVH

A

diastolic

30
Q

the fibrous ____ consists of _ interconnecting rings surrounded by connective tissue which is the insertion point for __ in the heart

A

skeleton

  • 4
  • valves
31
Q

the ___ valves prevent backflow of blood
from ventricles to atria during
systole

A

AV ( atrioventricular )

32
Q

the __ ___ prevent AV valves from opening up & letting blood flow backwards. ___ ___ anchor them to the walls of the heart

A

chordae tendineae

-papillary muscles

33
Q

_____ ___ is what makes the mitral & tricuspid valves close in the ventricles

A

increased pressure

34
Q

____ blood flow is the force that makes the semilunar valves close at the end of ____ in the cardiac cycle

A

retrograde

-systole

35
Q

the ____ & ____ valves are open during ventricular

systole, closed during ventricular diastole

A

pulmonary

aortic

36
Q

the ____ valves have 3 cup-like cusps that are considered the “hidden sinuses of valsalva”

A

semilunar valves: aortic & pulmonary

37
Q

at the end of systole, the pressures in the ____ & ___ are higher than that in the ventricles

A

aorta

pulmonary trunk

38
Q

early diastole is when ____ pressure is low

A

ventricular

39
Q

when the valve is unable to fully open, this is called:

A

stenosis

40
Q

when the valve is unable to fully close, this is called ____

A

Insufficiency or regurgitation

41
Q

the sounds of S1 & S2 are produced by the:

A
  • Vibration of valves immediately after closure

* Vibration of adjacent heart walls & major vessels

42
Q

A Widened S1 split occurring between M1 & T1 can be pathologic for:

A

stenosis

43
Q

A normal split S2 is when the tricuspid valve trails closure of the mitral valve slightly, which produces a softer sound. This can be caused by:

A

inspiration

44
Q

S3 is a weak ___ sound occasionally heard during middle third of diastole. This is represented: S1, S2, S3 / Ken-TUC-ky

A

rumbling

45
Q

S4 is the sound of active ventricular filling and the atria are contracting against __ ventricles to compensate. This is represented by S4, S1, S2 / Ten-nee-SEE

stiff

46
Q

S3 is the sound of ___ blood being dumped into the heart

A

extra

> like pouring water in a paper bag

Q

rheumatic fever typically affect the ___ or ___ valves. the most common bacteria to cause this is: ____.

A

diastolic

-aortic regurgitation

Q

when is aortic regurgitation heard the best during the cardiac cycle & over what location on the precordium?

A

Loudest 1st 1/3 diastole

• Heard maximally over L ventricle

54
Q

Left ventricle with a stenosed ______ ____ has very little blood in it; therefore, no reverberation of
blood occurs

A

mitral stenosis

56
Q

mitral regurgitation is a common systolic murmur that produces a _____ ______ “blowing” & swishing sound

A

high frequency

57
Q

the sound produced by mitral regurgitation is due to blood flowing backwards through the mitral valve into the ____ _____ during systole

A

left atrium

58
Q

tricuspid regurgitation is most often caused by ___ ____ _____

A

right ventricular hypertrophy

59
Q

tricuspid regurgitation is a high pitched _____ murmur in which blood flows back in to the ___ ____ during ____ contraction

A

holosystolic

  • right atrium
  • right ventricular
60
Q

this loud, harsh midsystolic (ejection) murmur is due to ____ _____ on the right ventricle. It is most often found in ____ & considered congenital.

A

increased afterload

-kids

61
Q

a harsh, machine-like murmur heard continuously in systole & diastole is due to ___ ____ ____

A

patent ductus arteriosus

62
Q

patent ductus arteriosus is a ______ abnormality in which blood is shunted from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart via the pulmonary trunk to the aorta

A

congenital

63
Q

____ ____ ___ is a congenital abnormality in which blood flows from high pressure LV into low pressure RV through defect

A

ventricular septal defect

64
Q

VSD is a loud _____ murmur often harsh & associated w/ a thrill. it is best heard in the L 3rd, 4th, and 5th ICS
