38
Q

Acute marginal artery supplies what?

A

Right ventricle

39
Q

What supplies the right ventricle?

A

Acute marginal artery

40
Q

Acute marginal artery is a branch if what?

A

Right coronary artery

41
Q

LCX is a branch if what?

A

LCA

42
Q

LAD is a branch if what?

A

LCA

43
Q

Name 3 LCA branches

A

LCX
LAD
Left marginal artery

44
Q

Which coronary artery is most often occluded?

A

LAD

45
Q

Coronary blood flow peaks when?

A

Early diastole

46
Q

What is the most posterior part if the heart?

A

Left atrium

47
Q

Enlargement of the left atrium can cause what symptoms and why?

A

Dysphagia (difficulty/discomfort swallowing) - due to compression of esophagus

Hoarseness - due to compression of left recurrent laryngeal nerve (branch of vagus)

48
Q

Compression of left recurrent laryngeal nerve can cause what?

A

Hoarseness

49
Q

Hoarseness can be caused by compression of what?

A

Left recurrent laryngeal nerve (branch if vagus)

Can be seen with enlargement if left atrium

50
Q

Breakdown percentages of right, left, or co-dominant circulation and the related vessels

A

Right-dominant circulation =85% -PDA arises from RCA

Left-dominant circulation = 8% - PDA arises from LCX

Co-dominant circulation =7% - PDA arises from both LCX & RCA

51
Q

Name 2 branches off of the RCA

A

Acute marginal artery

PDA

52
Q

PDA arises from?

A

RCA and LCX (so ultimately LCA)

53
Q

Cardiac output = ?

A

Stroke volume x heart rate

54
Q

Stroke volume x heart rate = ?

A

Cardiac output

55
Q

During early stages of exercise CO is maintained by what?

A

Increasing heart rate AND increasing stroke volume

56
Q

During late stages of exercise CO is maintained by what

A

Increasing heart rate alone

Stroke volume plateaus

57
Q

Ficks principle =?

A

CO = (rate of O2 consumption)/(arterial O2 content - venous O2 content)

Used for:

58
Q

Mean arterial pressure = ?

A 
MAP = CO x TPR
MAP = 2/3 diastolic pressure + 1/3 systolic pressure

Remember: CO = SV x HR

  • -> MAP = (SV x HR) x TPR
  • -> MAP = ((EDV - ESV)xHR) x TPR
59
Q

? = CO x TPR

A

MAP

Also: MAP = 2/3 diastolic pressure + 1/3 systolic pressure

60
Q

? = 2/3 diastolic pressure + 1/3 systolic pressure

A

MAP

Also: MAP = CO x TPR

61
Q

Increased HR affects diastole how?

A

Preferentially shortens

Less filling time –> decreased CO

Ex: ventricular tachycardia

62
Q

Pulse pressure =?

A

Pulse pressure = Systolic pressure - diastolic pressure

63
Q

How is pulse pressure related to stroke volume and arterial compliance?

A

Pulse pressure is proportional to SV

Pulse pressure is inversely proportional to arterial compliance

64
Q

SV = ?

A

SV = EDV - ESV

65
Q

? = EDV - ESV

A

SV = EDV - ESV

66
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by hyperthyroidism?

A

Increased pulse pressure

67
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by aortic regurgitation?

A

Increased pulse pressure

68
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by obstructive sleep apnea?

A

Increased pulse pressure due to increased sympathetic tone

69
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by exercise?

A

Transient increased pulse pressure

70
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by aortic stenosis?

A

Decreased pulse pressure

71
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by cardiogenic shock?

A

Decreased pulse pressure

72
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by cardiac tamponade?

A

Decreased pulse pressure

73
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by advanced heart failure?

A

Decreased pulse pressure

74
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by cardiogenic shock, cardiac tamponade, aortic stenosis, and advanced heart failure?

A

Decreased pulse pressure

75
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by arteriosclerosis?

A

Increased pulse pressure

76
Q

How is pulse pressure effected by aortic regurgitation, arteriosclerosis, obstructive sleep apnea, and exercise?

A

Increased pulse pressure

77
Q

Stroke volume is effected by what?

A

SV CAP

Stroke Volume affected by Contractility, Afterload, and Preload

Inc SV = inc Contractility, inc Preload OR decrease in Afterload

78
Q

How will Increasing contractility affect SV?

A

Increased SV

79
Q

How will increasing preload affect SV?

A

Increase SV

80
