Cardio Basics Flashcards
Tall slender P-wave = ___ atrial enlargement
Right
Wide P-wave = _____ atrial enlargement
Left
What determines stroke volume?
Preload, afterload, contractility rate
What determines cardiac output?
Stroke volume x HR
What is the heart’s response to acute blood loss?
Incr CO via catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction
How does the kidney respond to acute blood loss?
ADH release causes H2O and Na resorption
How does the spleen respond to acute blood loss?
Contraction injects RBCs into circulation
What is the ECF:ICF ratio?
1:2
What % of body weight is comprised of water?
TBW = 60% BW
What is the ECF made of?
Plasma, interstital fluid, lymph
Critical reduction in intravascular volume (dehydration, hemorrhage, third-spacing)
Hypovolemic shock
How does hypovolemia cause shock?
Decr preload = decr SV = decr CO
Result of decreased myocardial contractility with subsequent decrease in O2 delivery
Cardiogenic shock
What type of shock is always assoc. w/primary heart disease?
Cardiogenic shock
Occurs w/abnormal blood distribution that impairs blood return to the heart
Obstructive shock
