Q

What are the 4 phases within the cardiac cycle?

A
  1. Ventricular diastole: ventricles fill with blood
  2. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction: ventricles contract, all four valves are closed, pressure rises
  3. Ventricular ejection: pressure forces blood past the semilunar valves
  4. Isovolumetric ventricular relaxation: pressure falls, initially isovolumetric, but then AV valves open and filling begins again

Q

What are the 9 steps of the left ventricular pressure-volume loop?

A
  1. The AV valve opens
  2. Passive ventricular filling occurs Big increase in volume, but slight increase in pressure
  3. Atrial contraction completes ventricular filling. End-diastolic volume is reached
  4. The AV valve closes
  5. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction occurs. Volume remains constant; pressure increases markedly
  6. The aortic valve opens
  7. Stroke volume ejected. Endsystolic volume is reached
  8. The aortic valve closes
  9. Isovolumetric ventricular relaxation occurs. Volume constant; pressure falls sharply

19
Q

What is the end-diastolic volume (EDV)?

A

is the volume of blood inthe ventricle when filling is complete (aka ‘preload’)

20
Q

What is the end-systolic volume (EDV)?

A

is the volume of blood remaining in the ventricle when ejection is complete

21
Q

What is the stroke volume (SV)?

A

is the volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle per beat (EDV-ESV)

22
Q

What is the ejection fraction (EF)?

A

is the proportion of EDV pumped out in each heartbeat calculated as: SV/EDV x 100, or 70ml/135ml x 100 = 52%

  • How big volume is compared to how much is left behind
23
Q

What is afterload?

A

is the pressure against which the heart must work to eject blood during systole (also defined as the stress on the ventricular wall during systole) (pressure around arteries)

24
Q

If a faster heart rate reduces filling time, how do we still get good stroke volume?

A

Passive filling occurs rapidly early in diastole, then slows, with extra boost from atrial contraction

Systole = no change with increased HR Increased HR = decreased diastole = fill ventricles less but does not change volume due to atrial contraction = can still continue to fill heart well even with increase HR

However, there is an end point (max. HR) at ~ 20bpm

25
Q

What does the sound of turbulence of the blood make?

A

Lub-dub

26
Q

Valve closure produces ___ normal heart sounds

A

2

27
Q

What are the 2 normal heart sounds?

A
  1. The first heart sound (S1) or ‘lub’ is caused by closing of the AV valves
  2. The second heart sound (S2) or ‘dub’ is caused by closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves

Important to know: not the sounds of valves closing that you hear

28
Q

To hear blood, it must be ______. Why?

A

tubulent

  • When the valves close blood bounces against them, creating turbulence, which you can hear
29
Q

When do the valves close?

A
  • Both left &right AV valves close at the beginning of systole = S1 (‘lub’)
  • Aortic & pulmonary valves close at the end of systole = S2 (‘dub’)
  • Opening of the valves does not cause any sound
30
Q

Valves don’t shut at the same time. True or false.

A

False valves should shit at same time

31
Q

What occurs in the pathological condition of pulmonary hypertension? What is heard that is unusual?

A

Increased pressure in pulmonary system = valves will close sooner than normal = splitting of the heart sound = doubling of sound

32
Q

What are 2 other heart sounds that can be heard? (not lub or dub)

A
  1. The third heart sound (S3) marks end of rapid filling phase in early diastole, and is due to “recoil” of blood from ventricular wall
  2. The fourth heart sound (S4) coincides with atrial contraction (late diastole), it is not normally heard, but can indicate pathology involving strong atrial contraction
33
Q

What are heart murmurs? What do you hear in hearts that have pathology?

A

Healthy valves appose their edges efficiently, but several diseases, including bacterial infections and congenital malformations, may deform valves, affecting their opening and/or closing

Failure of valves to close or open properly creates abnormal turbulence: Heart murmurs

  • Regurgitation or insufficiency - when valves cannot close tightly, blood flows through the resulting gaps in wrong direction
  • Stenosis - when the passages containing valves decrease in size, blood flow in the correct direction is impeded
34
Q

Failure of valves to close or open properly creates abnormal turbulence. These are called _______.

A

Heart murmurs

35
Q

What is regurgitation or insufficiency?

A

when valves cannot close tightly, blood flows through the resulting gaps in wrong direction

36
Q

What is stenosis?

A

when the passages containing valves decrease in size, blood flow in the correct direction is impeded

37
Q

Can the type and timing of murmurs can indicate type of pathology?

A

Yes

38
Q

What sound does a heart with aortic stenosis make?

A

‘Lub-whistle-dub’

Aortic valve hasn’t shut properly

39
Q

What sound does a heart with mitral reguritation make?

A

‘Lub-swish-dub’

40
Q

What sound does a heart with aortic regurgitation make?

A

‘Lub-dub-swish’

41
Q

What sound does a heart with mitrial stenosis make?

A

‘Lub-dub-whistle’

42
Q

What sound does a heart with patent ductus arteriosus make?

A

‘whistle’ throughout

Hole in the heart between the aorta and the pulmonary artery

43
Q

What is the anatomical basis of patent ductus arteriosus (in a fetus and in an adult? Why is it normal in a fetus and not in an adult? What does it cause in an adult?

A

Fetus- no oxygenated blood

Adult- hole in septum doesn’t close when born –> oxygenated blood back into pulmonary artery –> decrease blood to rest of body

44
Q

What is auscultation?

A

Listening to the heart

45
Q

What structure stops valve flaps from turning inside out?

A

Chordae tendinae
