Cardiovascular Flashcards
what does the bulbis cordis become
smooth parts (outflow tract) of both ventricles
what does the primitive pulmonary vein become
smooth part of left atrium
what does the left horn of the sinus venosus become
coronary sinus
what does the right horn of the sinus venosus become
smooth part of the right atrium (sinus venarum)
what do the right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein become
SVC
blood supply for SA and AV nodes
RCA
effect of aortic regurgitation on pulse pressure
increased
effect of tamponade on pulse pressure
decreased
effect of exercise on pulse pressure
increased
effect of obstructive sleep apnea on pulse pressure
increased (increased sympathetic tone)
effect of aortic stenosis on pulse pressure
decreased
MOA for catecholamines increasing contractility
inhibition of phosphobalamban –> more intracellular Ca++
MOA for beta blockade decreasing contractility
lowers cAMP
which calcium channels are for myocardium
nondihydropyridine
LaPlace’s Law
T = pr / 2t
effect of increased TPR on venous return given fixed MAP
decrease
JVP A: peak or descent? meaning?
peak. atrial contraction (absent in afib)
JVP C: peak or descent? meaning?
peak. RV contraction (while atrium is still contracted)
JVP X: peak or descent? meaning?
descent. atrial relaxation
JVP V: peak or descent? meaning?
peak. filling (“villing”) of right atrium against closed tricuspid
JVP Y: peak or descent? meaning?
descent. emptYing of right atrium into RV
fixed spliting caused by
ASD
paradoxical splitting caused by
something delaying aortic closure e.g. aortic stenosis, LBBB
effect of hand grip (increased afterload) on auscultation
increase MR, AR, VSD murmurs
Decreased HCM murmurs
later onset of MVP click/murmur
effect of valsalva or standing up (decreased preload) on auscultation
decreased intensity of most murmurs (including AS)
Increased intensity of HCM murmurs
Earlier onset of MVP click/murmur
effect of rapid squatting (decreased after load, increase preload) on auscultation
increased intensity of AS
decreased intensity of HCM murmur
Later onset of MVP click/murmur
AS murmur
systolic crescendo-decrescendo
MR/TR murmur
holosystolic, blowing murmurs
AR murmur
early diastolic decrescendo, blowing murmur
MVP murmur
mid-systolic click and late crescendo murmur
VSD murmur
holosystolic, harsh-sounding, loudest at tricuspid
MS murmur
diastolic opening snap and late rumbling murmur
PDA murmur
continuous machine-like murmur, loudest at S2
U wave present in
hypokalemia and bradycardia
causes of long QT
hypokalemia, low magnesium
congenital long QT syndromes
drug induced
Congenital long QT syndromes
Romano-Ward: AD, pure cardiac
Jervell and Lange-Nielson: AR, sensorineural deafness
Drug-induced long QT
anti-arrhythmic (IA, III), antibiotics (e.g. macrolides), anti-psychotics (e.g. haloperidol), anti-depressants (e.g. TCAs), anti-emetics (e.g. ondansetron)
Brugada syndrome ECG pattern
pseudo RBBB and ST elevations in V1-V3
AD, MC in Asian males. Increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death
AV block 2nd degree, mobitz type I
lengthening PR interval
