Cardiovascular Flashcards
Preload
approximately the EDV, amount of blood returned to heart from veins
Afterload
Approximately MAP, amount in arteries after systole.
Ejection fraction
EF=SV/EDV
Stroke Volume
EDV-ESV
Flow
(Change in P)/Resistance
Flow again
(Change Pressure * pi R to the fourth)/(8viscosity*length)
Inotropy
Change in contractility
Chronotropy
Change in HR
A wave
atrial contraction (not seen in A fib)
S1
mitral and tricuspid valve closure
S2
aortic and pulmonary valve closure
S3
mitral regurg heart failure dilated cardiomyopathy Pregnancy Childhoof
fixed Split S2 heard
ASD
S4
Ventricular hypertrophy
C wave
RV contraction
x descent
atrial relaxation and downward displacement of closed tricuspid valve during ventricular contraction
v wave
increase right atrial pressure due to filling against closed tricuspid valves
y descent
RA emptying into RV
wide S2 split
pulmonic stenosis
RBBB
(from delayed emptying of RV)
Paradoxical splitting
aortic stenosis
LBBB
Reversed-P2 before A2
Crescendo Decrescendo systolic murmur
Aortic Stenosis
pulsus parvus et tardus
(Pulses weak with delayed peak)
Aortic Stenosis
calcification of bicuspid aortic valve
Aortic stenosis
Holosystolic blowing murmur
Mitral/tricuspid regurg
