cardiovascular 2; heart layers Flashcards
asymptomatic
flu-like or death
resolves itself in 2 months from virus
myocarditis
korotkoff sounds
used to measure blood pressure
pericardial effusion examples
tamponade
pulsus paradoxus
AV =
aortic valve
pericardial effusion
accumulation of fluid in pericardial cavity
when fluid is in a sack or cavity
effusion
aortic valve stenosis
asymptomatic until less than 25%
exaggerated decrease in systolic blood pressure; blood cant get all over body
pulsus paradoxus
pericardium
double-layered serous membrane
asympatomatic until less than 25%
aortic valve stenosis
pericarditis
triad of symptoms
dyspnea
tachycardia
flu-like symptoms
english for swelling
distend
double-layered serous membrane
pericardium
if left ventricle is affected by pericardial effusion
decreased cardiac output
decrease bp; shock
distend
swelling
aortic valve regurgitation
blood flows backwards into left ventricle; fine co until late (korotkoff sounds 0)
mitral valve =
bicuspid valve
if right ventricle is affected by pericardial effusion
increase venous pressure; jugular distension
