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
Late systolic crescendo with midsystolic click
Mitral valve prolapse
Harsh holosystolic murmur
VSD
Blowing early diastolic murmur
aortic regurg
hyperdynamic pulse
Aortic regurg
Opening snap with diastolic rumble
Mitral stenosis
Machine like murmur
PDA
Long QT predisposes to…
Torsades de pointes
Drug Induced Long QT
antiArrhythmics (class IA, III) antiBiotics (macrolides) antiCychotics (haloperidol) antiDepressants (TCAs) antiEmetics (Ondansetron)
Treatment for Torasades
Mg sulfate
Autosomal dominant congenital long QT syndrome without deafness
Romano-Ward Syndrome
Autosomal recessive congenital long QT with deafness
Jervell Lange-Nielsen Syndrome
Asian males with RBBB
Brugada
ST elevations in V1-V3
Brugada
delta wave
Wolff Parkinson White
Chaotic and erratice baseline with no discrete P waves
Atrial Fibrillation
rapid succession of identical back to back atrial p waves
Atrial Flutter
Completely erratic rhythm with no discernible waves
Ventricular fibrillation
Prolonged PR interval
1st Degree AV block
Progressive lengthening of PR with an eventual dropped beat
Second Degree Mobitz type 1 AV block
Dropped beat with no change in PR length
Second degree Moritz type 2 AV block
Atria and ventricles beat independently of each other
Third Degree AV block
Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is an estimation of
Left atrial pressure
