Cardiology Flashcards
what three areas does RCA supply?
-RA -RV -LV (inferior wall)
85% of the time, which artery gives rise to PDA (posterior descending artery)
RCA
what does PDA (posterior descending artery) supply?
-superior interventricular septum -inferior wall
what EKG leads correspond to PDA ischemia?
-ii, iii, AVF (inferior leads) ST-Elevate -reciprocal changes lateral leads (i, AVL, V5/V6); ST depression
LMCA supplies what parts of heart?
-LA -LV (septal, anterior, lateral) walls -most interventricular septum
what parts of left ventricle NOT supplied by Left
-SUPERIOR interventricular septum -inferior wall of LV
SA node supplied 60% by which artery?
RCA
SA node supplied 40% by which artery?
LAD
AV node supplied by which two arteries?
-RCA -circumflex
RCA provides what percent to AV node
85-90%
which artery supplies only 10-15% of AV node?
circumflex
Bundle of His supplied by WHICH two arteries
PDA LAD
blood flow rate to heart is ____ mL/min?
250 mL/min
what is flow to heart per min per 100grams?
80mL/100g/min
what percent of CO does coronary flow take up?
5%
myocardium what percentage extraction of oxygen from blood?
65% (this is maximum extraction)
WHICH EKG LEAD MOST SENSITIVE FOR ISCHEMIA?
lead V - 75% lead II + V - 80%
lateral EKG leads
I, AvL, V5, V6
inferior EKG leads
II, III, AVF
septum leads
V1, V2
anterior leads
V3-V4
AVR lead?
???? supplied by?
what TEE view is most effective for diagnosing ischemia?
transgastric short axis view
which valve is bicuspid USUALLY
mitral
normal Aortic valve area?
2.5-4.5cm^2
chordae tendinae on which valve?
tethers MV to papillary muscles; if rupture muscles, can have acute failure
normal area of MV?
4-6cm^2
sympathetic input to heart from WHAT ganglia of brainstem?
stellate ganglion (to both SA/AV nodes & ventricular mm)
cardioaccelerators at what thoracic level?
T1-4
Vagal input to conduction system of heart from WHICH nucleus in medulla?
nucleus ambiguous
transplanted heart lacks ability to do WHAT things?
-NO BARO-RECEPTOR FUNCTION (norepi has beta and alpha agonist function, increases BP and HR initially, but baroreceptor reflex to decrease HR doesn’t work)
transplanted heart has NO what?
-no Vagal tone -no cardiac accelerators -no baroreceptor reflexes
changes in CARDIAC OUTPUT in transplanted heart happen by WHAT mechanism??
increase in STROKE volume
which sympathomimetic agents work on transplanted heart?
-amines 1) isoproterenol 2) epi 3) dopamine 4) dobutamine
cardiac cells attached together how?
attached by desmosomes
what makes striations in cardiac cells?
from linearly organized sarcomeres
