Cardiac Overview Flashcards
c wave
back flow of blood from ventricles against closed valve
a wave
atrial contraction
V wave
end of systole, filling of atria
EDV normal volume
120 mL
ESV normal volume
50 mL
EDV-ESV = ?
stroke volume
stroke volume normal
70 mL
EF calculation
SV/EDV
normal EF
60%
Left main coronary circulation
LAD, circ, diagonal
2 main coronary circulation
Left main and RCA
Coronary venous drainage
- coronary sinus
- anterior cardiac veins
- thesbian
External work =
SV x pressure
area in cardiac loop is
external work
Left heart vs right heart
left does 5-6 x work of the right because it is pumping against 5-6 times more pressure (L heart is more muscular)
Kinetic work is
kinetic energy of blood flow
L side = right side
What affects inotropy? (2)
- SNS stim
- increase in calcium–>increase flow of calcium through slow calcium channels–> increase force of contraction
EKG is the
sum of all ELECTRICAL activity in the heart
reflects excitation NOT contraction
Best lead for rythym problems
Lead II (RCA and P wave/dysrhythmias
best lead for ischemia
v5
Three basic principles of circulatory system
- blood is directed to tissues that need flow
- increased venous return from circulation resuts in more CO
- extensive mechanisms to control BP
1 mm Hg = ______ cm H2O
1 mmHg = 1.36 cm H2O
up to _____ of deaths occuing after non-cardiac surgery are related to cardiovascular comlications
50%
5 common complications with known CV disease
- MI
- pulmonary edema
- CHF
- Dysrhythmias
- thromboembolism
Risk of perioperative MI for general public
0.1-0.7%
Risk of MI if MI within last 6 months
6%
Risk of MI within 3-6 motns
15%
Risk of MI within 3 moths
30%
Goldman cardiac risk basic
more points = higher risk of complications
0 risk factors 0.5%, 2 risk factors 9%
functional capacity/status measurements
METS (Ideally want >4)
What meds should be continued on day of surgery
- beta blockers
- nitrates
- calcium channel blockers
- ACE inhibitors
