Q

What causes normal splitting on inspiration?

A

Inspiration decreases pulmonary impedance and increases the capacity of pulmonary circulation while simultaneously decreasing intrathoracic pressure and thus increasing venous return to the RV causing an increased RV stroke volume

This all leads to delayed closure of the pulmonic valve (which normally closes after the aortic valve anyway) leading to a widened split of closure

Q

What can cause paradoxical splitting?

A

Seen in conditions that delay LV emptying (aortic stenosis, left bundle branch block)
Normal order of valve closure is reversed so that P2 sound occurs before delayed A2 sound - on inspiration P2 closes later and moves closer to A2 thereby “paradoxically” eliminating the split

Q

What can cause a U wave on EKG?

A

Hypokalemia or bradycardia

22
Q

Describe ANP

A

ANP: Released from atrial myocytes in response to increased blood volume and atrial pressure - causes vasodilation and decreased sodium reabsorption at the renal collecting tubule. Constricts efferent renal arterioles and dilates afferent arterioles via cGMP

23
Q

Describe B-type natriuretic peptide

A

Released from ventricular myocytes in response to increased tension - similar action to ANP with longer half life (used for diagnosing heart failure)

24
Q

What is the difference between the aortic arch and carotid sinus in terms of transmission?

A

Aortic arch: Transmits via vagus nerve to solitary nucleus of medulla in response to increased BP
Carotid: Transmits via glossopharyngeal nerve to solitary nucleus of medulla in response to both increased and decreased BP

25
Q

What are peripheral and central chemoreceptors (location and function)?

A

Peripheral: Carotid and aortic bodies - stimulated by decreased O2 pressure (

26
Q 
What develops from the following structures?
Truncus arteriosus:
Bulbus cordis:
Primitive atria:
Primitive ventricle:
Primitive pulmonary vein:
Left horn of sinus venosus:
Right horn of sinus venosus:
Right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein:
A

Truncus arteriosus: Ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
Bulbus cordis: Smooth parts of left and right ventricles
Primitive atria: Trabeculated part of left and right atria
Primitive ventricle: Trabeculated part of left and right ventricles
Primitive pulmonary vein: Smooth part of left atrium
Left horn of sinus venosus: Coronary sinus
Right horn of sinus venosus: Smooth part of right atrium
Right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein: SVC

27

Right ventricular hypertrophy - Boot shaped heart on CXR
Overriding aorta

29
Q

What is the purpose of squatting in TOF?

A

Increases SVR and decreases right-to-left shunt thus improving cyanosis

30
Q

What is the defect in TAPVR?

A

Pulmonary veins drain into right heart circulation (ASD and PDA to allow for right-to-left shunting to maintain CO

31
Q

Why do left-to-right shunts cause late cyanosis?

A

Increased pulmonary blood flow leads to right hypertrophy which increases right-to-left pressure eventually causing cyanosis (Eisenmenger syndrome)

A

A lipid deposit in the cornea - appears early in life with hypercholesterolemia and is common in the elderly

35
Q

What is Coronary steal syndrome?

A

Distal to coronary stenosis the vessels are maximally dilated - Administration of vasodilators dilates normal vessels and shunts blood toward well perfused areas leading to decreased flow and ischemia in poststenotic regions
