Cardiology Flashcards
1
Q
Truncus Arteiosis
A
- Forms the outflow tracts of the LV
- Imigration of neural crest cells, endocardial cushion tissue and membranous ventricular septation allow for proper looping and function
2
Q
Sinus Venosus
A
-Forms the smooth part of the RA (Right SV) and the coroncary sinus (Left SV)
3
Q
Bulbus Cordis
A
-Smooth parts of ventricles
4
Q
Primitive atria and ventricles
A
- Rotate during development
- Trabechulated muscle
5
Q
Anterior and Common cardinal veins
A
-Make SVC
6
Q
Posteior Cardinal Vein
A
-Makes IVC
7
Q
Vitelline Veins
A
-Make Portal Circulation
8
Q
Aortic Arches
A
- 1,2 are relatively meaningless with portions of external carotid coming off of pharyngeal arches
3: Common Carotid
4: Aortic arch and proximal brachiocephalic
6: Pulmonary arteries
9
Q
Interventricualar Septation
A
- Muscular portion forms from the bottom up and is rarely assicated with VSD
- Membranous poriton forms near the top with endochardial cushion (AV) and NC cells
- Membranous is most common site of defect
- Eisenmienger occurs when VSD leads to pHTN leading to RV hypertrophy which will flip the shunt to R to L
10
Q
Atrial Septation
A
- Septum primum grows from top toward bottom and ednocardial cushin tissues. Is flexible and may not form right with EC in downs elading to primum type of defect
- Secundum forms from top down and bottom up and is rigid
- Together form a one way valve allowing to bypass pulmnary circulation
- Fuse at birht with LA greater than RA
- If don’t fuse is PFO
- Secundum is also common defect with fixed splitting
- PFO can cause DVT to go to systemic circulation
11
Q
Fetal Erythroposesis
A
- Begins in yolk sac from 3 weeks to 10 weeks
- Liver becomes dominant in early gestation (4-40 wks)
- Spleen provides minimal support
- Bone marrow begins to produce in week 20 and is the definitive site
- Fetal Hgb has decreased affinity for 2,3BPG leading to increased Oxygen binding capabilities
12
Q
Fetal Circulation
A
- Oxygenated blood comes through umbilical vein and joins IVC dumpin into RA.
- In RA can tak 2 routes, through RV or to LA
- If goes through RV then out to lungs with majority divered via the DA to aorta
- If through PFO goes through LA to LV to aorta
- Systemic circulation becfore draiing into umbilical arteries for delivery back to placenta
13
Q
Three Shunts
A
- Ductus Venosus allows blood to bypass the portal circuit in the liver
- Ductus Arteriosus allow blood from pulmonary artery to enter the aorta and bypass the lungs
- Foramen Ovale allows majority of oxygen rich blood to flow to LA to LV to aorta to systemic
- PReductal coarctation, majority flows through RV and out through DA to body, no development of collaterals leads to early cyanosis. Post ductal means that collaterals through the internal intercostals and internal throacic develop to allow for communication with superior and infereior epigastrics. These pateints will present later with differential BP
14
Q
Fetal Derivatives in permanent tissue
A
- Umbilical Vein: Ligamentum tere hepatatis whihc is part of falciform ligament
- Umbilical arteries are medial umbilical ligaments
- Allantois/urachus is median umbilical ligament. Persistence can lead to urachal cyst or adenocarcinoma of the superioer pole of bladder
- Ligamentum Arteriosum: Is close DA (Decrease in PGE with elevated O2 leads to closure). Is a site of anchor of arta, so can be nidus for traumatic tear
- Ligamentum Venosum: Liver Shunt
15
Q
Cardiac Projections
A
- RA is superior and medial
- RV forms majority of anterior projection
- LV forms majority of diaphragmatic porjection (Inferior border)

- LCX: LV free wall, L dominant supplies posterior IV septum
- LAD: ANteiror LV and Anterior 2/3 IV septum
17
Q
CO
A
-HR * SV MAP = CO * TPR -MAP = 1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic -EF: ESV-EDV/(EDV) -Exercise serves to increase CO by increasing HR and decreasing TPR. Eventually TPR maximized and only increase is with increased HR
18
Q
Contractility
A
- A function of the amount of Ca in cardiac cells
- Increased Contractilty: Caetacholamines (Increase Ca release from SR), Digoxin increases intracellular Na leading to impaired Ca exchange and increased Ca).
- Preload also increases CO by starling law of stretch of sarcomeres
- Decreasd extracellular Na can also increase intracellular Ca
- Contractility is decresed with decreased Ca: Beta blockers, Ca channel blockers (non DHP; verapamil and diltiazem), Acidosis, hypoxia (60 seconds stop contracting), Heart Failure
19
Q
Preload
A
- EDV a function of volume and venoconstriction
- Decreased with nitrates (Venodilation)
- Increased with caetacholamines (Venoconstriction)
- Increase with exercise and volume overload
20

21
Q
Resistance and flow
A

-Parallel: which is sirculation 1/r=1/r1+1/r2 etc
23
Q
Cardiac and vascular function curves
A
- Ascending line is contracility
- Descending line is volume status (Can be effected by venocosntriction)
- X intecept is means systemic filling pressure
- Blood volume is also a function of TPR, decreased TPR leads to effectively increased blood volume and vice versa
- Y axis is CO and venous return (Which are equal)
- X axis is Right Atrial Filling Pressure/EDV
24
Q
Cardiac Cycle
A
- Contractility is a slope from the origin to S2
- Afterload is EDP/MAP
- EDV is preload
25
Q
JVP Trace
A
- A wave is atrial contraction
- C wave is ventricular contraction that causes a bulge at the tricuspid valce
- X descent is from atrial relaxation
- V wave is atrial filling (gradual)
- Y descent is from rapid ventricular filling
- All curve is in pressure and so corresponds not to volume but to atrial contraction/relaxation
26
Q
Kussmaul Sign
A
- Increase in JVP with inspiration
- Filling defect. Tamponade, CHF, etc
27
Q
A wave changes
A
- A waves will be absent in A fib
- Cannon A waves will occur in heart blocks where there is contraction of the atria against a closed AV valve
28
Q
Pulsus Paradoxus
A
- Inspiration leads to decrease in systolic BP of greater than 10 mmHg
- Inspiration decreases pressure in pulmonary veins and causes blood to pool which leads to a decrease in LV preload. This leads to a decrease in systolic BP which is sensed by baroreceptors leading to increased HR
- Seen in Cardiac Tamponade (Decreased filling leaves little reserve to pool)
- Also seen in obstructive lung diseases (Increased pooling exacebates the effect
- This effect occurs in the pulmonary venous system, the opposite occurs in the arterial system as pressures will rise beause of elevaed RV filling
29
Q
ECG
A
Electrical signal always occur before contraction.
- QRS is at the very begining of atrial contraction and T wave, repolarization is in the middle
- This leads to discoordination between LV pressure/volume curve and EKG
30
Q
Normal Splitting
A
- Inspiration leads to increased RV filling leading to a longer time to eject, causing a delay in emptying and heart sounds
- Pulmonic goes later
31
Q
Widened splittin
A
- When there is exagerated closure of the pulmonic valve
- Pulmonic stenosis, RV dysfunction, RV failure, RBBB
32

A
- Splitting does not vary with inspiration
- ASD
- Allows for pressures between RA and LA to equilibrate at all times, no change in splitting
33
Q
Reversal (Paradoxical spltiting)
A
- There is a delay in closure of the aortic valve leading to the Aortic S2 to be delayed, during breathing when P2 gets longer they will come together
- Seen in aortic stenosis and LBBB
