Capillaries
What vessel has the highest compliance?
Aorta

Pain at rest (transient clots)
What is Prinzmetal’s angina?
Intermittent pain (coronary artery spasm)
What is Amyloidosis?
Stains congo red, echo apple green birefringence
What is hemochromatosis?
Fe deposit in organs => hyperpigmentation, arthritis, DM
What is cardiac tamponade?
Pressure equalizes in all 4 chambers, quiet precordium, no pulse or BP, kussmaul’s sign, pulsus paradoxus (lower >10 mmHg BP w/inspiration)
What is transudate?
An effusion with mostly water
Too much water:
- heart failure
- renal failure
Not enough protein:
- cirrhosis (cant make protein)
- nephrotic syndrome (pee protein out)
What is an exudate?
An effusion with mostly protein
Too much protein:
- purulent (bacteria)
- hemorrhagic (trauma , cancer, PE)
- fibrinous (collagen vascular dz, uremia, TB)
- granulomatous (non-bacterial)
What is Systole?
Squish heart, LOW blood flow to coronary aa, more extraction of O2 (phase 1 korotkoff)
What is diastole?
Fill heart, increase blood flow to coronary aa, less extraction of O2 (phase 5 korotkoff)

What murmur has an irregularly irregular pulse?
A Fib
What murmur has a regularly irregular pulse?
PVC
What sound radiate to the neck?
