Cardio- Exam Flashcards
HR and CO with exercise
Increase linearly- reach a plateau at 100% VO2max
Blood pressure and exercise
Systolic increases, diastolic remains constant
Rate pressure product
Metabolic demand of the heart = HR x SBP
Elevated blood pressure
SBP 120-129; DBP <80
Stage 1 HTN
SBP 130-139; DBP 80-89
Stage 2 HTN
SBP at least 140; DBP at least 90
HTN crisis
SBP over 180 and/or DBP over 120
Measures that increase with altitude
HR, BP, CO
Measures that change with acclimitization
HR increases
SV decreases
BP and CO normalize
Measures that increase with aquatic therapy
CO, SV, work of breathing
Aortic auscultation
2nd IC space, right SB
Pulmonic auscultation
2nd IC space, L SB
Tricuspid auscultation
4th IC space, L SB
Mitral auscultation
5th IC space, midclavivular line
S1
“Lub”
Closure of mitral and tricuspid
Onset of systole
