Cardio Flashcards
Left horn of the sinus venosus becomes?
R horn becomes?
Coronary sinus (on L side of RA) Smooth part of RA
PDA is due to failure of what 2 things to fuse after birth?
Septum primum and septum secundum
What is the most post part of the heart?
LA
Use TEE to dx?
LA enlargement
Ao dissection
Thoracic aneurysm
bc eso can best see LA and descending Ao
CO = ?
= SV x HR
= rate O2 comsump / (art. O2 - ven. O2)
MAP = ?
= CO x TPR
= 2/3 DP + 1/3 SP
Pulse P is proportional to?
Stroke vol
Incr’d SV -> incr’d PP (bc bigger diff btwn
SP-DP)
SV =
CO / HR = EDV - ESV
Decr’d EC Na+ has what effect on SV?
Incr’s SV bc less Na/Ca exchange, so less Ca out, meaning more Ca in cell -> more SV
How does digitalis incr SV?
Blocks Na/K pump -> more IC Na -> less Na/Ca pump -> more Ca inside -> more SV
Acidosis has what effect on SV?
Incr’d EC H+ -> X for K -> more Na/K pump to bring K into cell -> less Na in cell -> more Na/Ca pump -> less Ca in cell -> decr’d SV
EF =
= SV / EDV
= (EDV - ESV) / EDV
Where is the majority of the TPR?
Arterioles, to reg cap flow
JVP (pulse)
- a wave? c wave?
- x descent?
- v wave?
- y descent?
- a = atrial contrac; c = RV contract -> TV bulges into RA incr’ing RA P
- x = RA relaxed and decr’d P as RV contracts
- v = incr’d RA P w/ “villing”
- y = TV opens bl flows from RA to RV
Wide splitting is due to (2)?
Pulm stenosis, RBBB (delayed RV emptying)
Fixed splitting is due to?
ASD (incr’d flow thr PV so delayed close)
Paradoxical splitting is due to (2)?
AS, LBBB (delayed LV emptying so A2 after P2)
Pulm flow murmur + diastolic murmur?
Later on: louder diastolic murmur?
ASD (incr’d flow thr PV and incr’d flow X TV)
- later get pulm regurg from dilatation of PA
On insp/expiration get incr’d intensity of what heart sounds?
Insp: R heart sounds (incr’d venous return)
Expir: L heart sounds (incr’d return to L heart from pulm circ)
Hand grip (incr'd SVR) makes which heart sounds louder? - which heart sounds quieter?
Everything that goes backwards: MR, AR, VSD, MVP
- things that can’t push as much: AS, HOCM
Valsava (decr’d venous return) makes which 2 heart sounds louder?
MVP and HOCM, makes most other heart sounds quieter
Squatting (incr’d venous return/preload, incr’d afterload if sustained) makes which 2 heart sounds quieter?
MVP, HOCM
Holosystolic high-pitched blowing murmur?
MR/TR
MR incr’d w/ expiration, TR incr’d w/ inspir
Ejection click, then crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur?
- pulses are?
AS
- weak w/ delayed peak: pulsus parvus et tardus
Holosystolic harsh murmur?
VSD
- loudest at TV area
- incr’d w/ hand grip
Late systolic decrescendo murmur w/ midsystolic click?
MVP
- best heard over apex, loudest at S2
- incr’d w/ decr’d venous return (standing or Valsalva)
High-pitched blowing diastolic decrescendo murmur?
- pulse is?
AR
- wide pulse P w/ bounding pulses and head bobbing
- incr’d w/ hand grip
Opening snap, then delayed rumbling diastolic murmur?
MS
- incr’d w/ incr’d LA return (expiration)
PDA assoc’d w/ what 2 things?
Congenital rubella or prematurity
AS w/ fusion of commissures PLUS MS = ?
RHD
How does the cardiac AcP work?
Stages 0-4
0 = rapid upstroke, V-gated Na in 1 = initial repol, V-gated K out 2 = plateau, V-gated Ca in (-> Ca from SR, contraction) equal to K out 3 = rapid repol, K out 4 = resting potential, K ch leak out
How does SA node spont’ly depol?
Phase 4 has Ifunny Na ch’s -> Na slowly in -> Ca depol (phase 0 upstroke) -> phase 3 repol w/ K out
Cardiac myocytes are electrically coupled thr?
Gap jxns
Adenosine does what to SA node?
Decr’d rate of depol, slows HR
Slope of phase 0 in SA is proportional to?
HR, incr’d slope means incr’d HR, decr’d slope means decr’d HR
PR int - nl length is?
QRS complex - nl length is?
<120 ms
