Cardio Review Flashcards
Truncus Arteriosus
Ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
Bulbis cordis
Smooth part (outflow tracts) of the left and right ventricle
Primitive atrium
Trabeculated part of left and right atria
Primitive ventricle
Trabeculated part of left and right ventricles
Left horn of sinus venosus
Coronary sinus
Right horn of sinus venosus
Smooth part of right atrium
Right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein
SVC
Most posterior part of heart
Left atrium – can cause dysphagia or hoarseness if enlarged.
Things that cause high pulse pressure
Hyperthyroidism, aortic regurgitation, arteriolosclerosis
Wall tension
Pressure x radius / 2xthickness
Resistance
8ML/piR^4
Diastolic heart failure effect on ejection fraction?
Normal
Wide splitting
Due to conditions that delay RV emptying like pulmonic stenosis or RBBB.
Fixed splitting
Seen in ASD
Paradoxical splitting
In conditions like aortic stenosis or LBBB, aortic valve closes after pulmonic valve. Inspiration will move splitting closer together
Holosystolic high pitched blowing murmur
Mitral regurgitation
Crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur
Aortic stenosis, radiates to carotids causes weak and delayed pulses.
