Cardiovascular Flashcards
period of ventricular contraction. Tri/bicupid valves close
systole S1
period of ventricular relaxation and refill
diastole
closing of aortic valve. end of systole
S2
represents atrial depolarization
p wave
represents ventricular depolarization
QRS complex
represents repol of ventricles
T wave
normal CO =
4-6 L/min
most common cause of hopitalization and death in older Americans
cardiovascular dysfunction CVD
hypertension blood pressure
140/90
hypertension w/ unknown cause
primary
hypertension 2* another identifiable medical problem

BP that fluctuates btwn normal and HTN
labile
HTN BP Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
- 140-159/90-99
- 160-179/100-109
- 180+/110+

w/ HTN check BP….
before, during and after tx
HTN when exercising, BP may decrease as much as…
