Cardiovascular Anatomy Flashcards
What is displeased
Shortness of breath
What do capillaries do
Small blood vessels that connect ends of arteries with beginning of veins
What is atrial filling pressure
Difference between venous and atrial pressures
Equation for cardiac output
HR x SV = CO
What does myocardial perfusion imaging reveal
Ischemic heart disease
Myocardial infarction
Normal range for stroke volume
4-5 L/min
What is QRS wave
Ventricular depolarization
What does the lymphatic system do
Drains lymph from bodily tissues and returns it to venous circulation
What does venous fill time measure
Examine time necessary to refill veins after emptying
HR for children
60-140
Where is the SA node
Junction of superior vena cava and right atrium
Increased body temperature causes heart rate to…
Increase
What is normal heart rate
60-100 bpm
Where does right atrium receive blood from
Superior and inferior vena cava
What does S1 represent
Beginning of systole
How many bpm is tachycardia
Over 100 bpm
What is QT interval
Time for electrical systole
What is cardiac output
Amount of blood discharged from left or right ventricle per minute
What is ejection fraction
Percentage of blood emptied from ventricle during systole
What do veins do
Transport unoxygenated blood from tissues back to heart
What is paroxysmal nocturnal dye ones
Sudden inability to breathe occurring during sleep
What is orthopnea
Inability to breathe when in a reclining or supine position
What is Stemmer’s Sign
Dorsal skin folds of the toes or fingers are resistant to lifting
What is pericardium
Fibrous protective sac enclosing heart
What Disease is intermittent claudication associated with
Peripheral artery disease
Normal newborn RR
30-40 breaths per minute
How does one perform the venous filling time test
Patient supine, passively elevate LE to approx 45degrees for 1min then sit them up
What does hypomagnesemia do
Ventricular arrhythmia
Coronary artery vasospasm
Sudden death
What is the ST segment
Beginning of ventricular repolarization
Two main causes of peripheral causes of edema
Chronic venous insufficiency
Lymphedema
How many bpm is bradycardia
Less than 60 bpm
What is stroke volume
Amount of blood ejected with each myocardial contraction
What is afterload
The force the LV must generate during systole to overcome aortic pressure to open the aortic valve
What is AV Valves anchored by
Chordae tendineae
Normal range of stroke volume
55-100mL/beat
