Cardio Flashcards
What are the branches of the coronary artery?
- Left anterior descending
- Left circumflex
- right coronary artery
intramural arteries
penetrate myocardium
semilunar valves
aortic and pulmonic
AV valves
mitral and tricuspid
systolic dysfunction is caused by
ischemic injury and HTN, decreased contractility leads to inadequate CO
diastolic injury is caused by
inability of heart to relax and expand effectively
concentric hypertrophy is caused from
HTN/stenosis
Pressure-overload hypertrophy
Increase in wall thickness
Volume-overload hypertrophy (eccentric)
Dilation of heart with increased ventricular diameter
Muscle mass and wall thickness increased in proportion of chamber diameter
right sided heart failure is mostly caused by
- cor pulmonale, chronic pulmonary HTN
- left sided heart failure
left sided heart failure is caused by….
and shows these types of cells
- ischemic heart disease
- HTN
- valvular disease
- siderophages
left sided heart failure effects on kidneys
-decreased perfusion, activate RAA, counteracted by ANP (diurectic)
right sided heart failure effects on liver
- ascites
- nutmeg liver
presacral
anasarca
edema in sacral area of bedridden pts
general massive edema
3 main malformations
Left-to-right shunt
Right-to-left shunt (cyanotic congenital heart disease)
Obstruction
3 types of ASD
Secundum (90%): from oval fossa
Primum: adjacent to AV valves
Sinus venosus: near entrance of superior vena cava
