Q

Why does the left side of the heart have more pressure?

A

It contains all the blood with the oxygen that’s needed to be sent throughout the entire body. So it’s going to need to push through the resistance which creates a lot of pressure.

50
Q

Sinus Tachycardia

A

High heart rate but normal troph’s and peaks

51
Q

Bradycardia (Atrial Fibrillation)

A

P wave has not bump; suggest atria is not working properly

52
Q

Ventricular Fibrillation

A

Ventricles contract irregularly without signals; doesn’t pump blood to body

53
Q

Units is BPM and measured through palpation or electrical conductivity

A

Heart Rate

54
Q

Pacemaker, energy demand, depressants, environmental temperature, availability of O2

A

How the heart rate is effected

55
Q

Stroke Volume

A

It’s the amount of blood ejected out the ventricles per beat

56
Q

Preload, Afterload, Contractility

A

Determinants of Stroke Volume

57
Q

How much blood is actually filling into the ventricle before it contracts

A

Preload

58
Q

It’s the pressure that the ventricles work against to open semilunar valves to get blood to flow out.

A

Afterload

59
Q

Vascular resistance; the higher the resistance the higher the afterload

A

High afterload

60
Q

Causes for high afterload

A

Hypertension. Makes the LV work harder to eject blood into the aorta. This can’t happen unless the ventricle generates enough pressure to overcome the pressure passed the semilunar valves. causes the arteries to rupture from all the intense work and narrow.

61
Q

Anti-diuretics, lowering sodium intake and strength training

A

Lowers blood pressure and increases Stroke Volume

62
Q

How hard the heart is squeezing when it contracts

A

Contractility

63
Q

Total amount of blood ejected per minute; reflects the ability of heart to meet body’s need for blood flow

A

Cardiac Output

64
Q

Q (L/min) = HR (bpm) x SV (mL)

A

Cardiac Output Formula

65
Q

Aorta contains the highest pressure of blood which is essentially the systolic pressure of blood. That is why it’s 120mmHg around there

A

Systolic blood pressure

66
Q

Capillaries

A

Where most of gas, nutrients, hormones are exchanged/delivered

67
Q

Veins and Venules

A

Capacitance vessels; hold volume but no exchanging of nutrients

68
Q

Arteries

A

High tolerance to pressure, elastic, surrounded by smooth muscle, 3 primary layers

69
Q

Endothelium (Slippery Muscles), Sub-endothelium, Internal Elastic lamina

A

Tunica Interna

70
Q

Tunica Media

A

Muscular layer right outside the Tunica Interna. External elastic lamina.

71
Q

A

What causes the arteries to contract and dilate; how blood gets everywhere around the body.

72
Q

Protective layer around the vessels

A

Tunica Externa

73

A

Less elastic and rigid, contains valves, and 3 primary layers

79
Q

Endothelium, basement membrane

A

Tunica Intima (Veins)

80
Q

Don’t have as much smooth muscle so doesn’t constrict as much as arteries do

A

Tunica Media

81
Q

Tunica Externa

A

Key for structure, Collagen

82
Q

Vasoconstriction/Vasodilation

A

Only achievable by arteries because of smooth muscle.

83
Q

What is blood pressure?

A

The force that blood exerts on the walls of the vasculature

84
Q

The organs involved in the regulation of BP

A

Brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys

85
Q

How is BP regulated?

A

Autonomic Nervous System
Kidney and hormones control fluid intake and excretion; alter blood volume and pressure
Blood vessels - vasodilation/constriction

86
Q

How do you measure BP?

A

When the cuff is pumped no blood goes through the artery. The needle starts to go down when the cuff is released.

87
Q

What sounds are expected to be heard when measuring Systolic and Diastolic Pressure

A

For Systole, once you start to hear blood flowing after the release of the cuff that is the systolic number.

For diastole, you have to listen to the swooshing sound and then a slience to get the diastolic number.

88
Q

A high cardiac output can lead to high BP

A

The high stroke volume and the heart rate can lead to more blood being pumped, ergo increasing BP

89
Q

How does blood volume affect BP?

A

The more blood there is the higher one’s BP becomes. This is favourable when exercising

90
Q

Why does sitting down for a long period of time cause BP to drop?

A

Sitting down causes blood to pool in one place for quite some time which means the heart does not need to do much work.

91
Q

How does Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) affect Blood Pressure?

A

TPR is how well the arteries can constrict. If the TPR is high then it’s a good amount of constriction which can cause blood pressure to increase because the heart needs to work hard.

92
Q

When blood pressure goes up…?

A

1) Brain triggers autonomic response
2) Cardiac output goes down; Vasodilation goes up; TPR goes down
3) BP goes down; return to homeostasis

93
Q

When the blood pressure goes down…?

A

1) Foot on gas, and off brake
2) Cardiac Output goes up; Vasoconstriction/TPR goes up
3) BP goes up; return to homeostasis

94
Q

Purposes of Blood

A

Transport, Immunity, Clotting Factors

95
Q

Contents of Blood

A

RBC (45%)
Buffy Coat (<1%) - made of WBC and platelets
Plasma (55%) - most of the nutrients found here

96
Q

90% of plasma is water

A

Fluid portion of blood

97
Q

Plasma contents

A

Electrolytes, glucose, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, salt, gases, hormones and other chemical messengers.

98
Q

Development of Plaque in Blood Vessels

A

Atherosclerosis

99
Q

What does atherosclerosis do?

A

Limits O2 flow to organs; leads to heart attack, stroke or death

100
Q

What is plaque?

A

Made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood.

101
Q

How does Atherosclerosis develop?

A

1) LDL enters into smooth muscle
2) LDL causes cholesterol to get into endothelium cells
3) Fibrous cap forms which narrows the lumen
4) Fibrous cap breaks and forms a thrombosis to block the vessel lumen.

102
Q

Angina

A

A type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow from narrowed lumen

103
Q

What’s good about Angina

A

It’ll let the person know that they shouldn’t push themselves any further and should take some medications or do something to prevent it from leading to any further problems.

104
Q

Thrombosis

A

Occlusion (blockage) of the blood vessel

105
Q

Myocardial Infarction

A

Another name for Heart attack; caused by lack of blood flow to certain parts of heart muscle.

106
Q

Symptoms of Heart Attack

A

Tightness, heavy squeezing pain
Pain may radiate to shoulder (mainly women)
Anxiety
Sweating or cold
Nausea & Vomiting
Shortness of breath
Dizziness, fainting or loss of consciousness

107
Q

Performed prior to surgery with a view to angioplasty; provides the extent of coronary artery disease

A

Angiography

108
Q

Why isn’t angioplasty a permanent cure

A

It only clears the problem in one spot and the stent only lasts for about 10 years

109
Q

Coronary Graft Bypass

A

Take a part of the vein from a part of the body and replace the artery with it. The vein will adapt to the pressure of the blood and become an artery

110
Q

Deep Vein Thrombosis

A

Clot that forms in large veins, usually in legs

111
Q

Causes for DVT?

A

1) Stagnant blood from Immobility (prolonged sitting)
2) Hypercoagulability (clotting of blood faster than usual)
3) Cancer
4) Trauma to vein or leg

112
Q

Thrombus and Embolus

A

Thrombus is a clot and Embolus is the clot breaking off and flowing through the blood

113
Q

Pulmonary Embolism

A

Clot gets stuck in artery of lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung

114
Q

Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism

A

Chest pain when taking deep breaths
Shortness of breath
Fainting
Dizziness
Sweating
Anxiety

115
Q

What are the two types of Strokes

A

1) Bleed in the brain caused by a rupture
2) Clotting in the brain

116
Q

How to tell what type of stroke someone is experiencing?

A

Younger person gets a bleed stroke and an older person typically gets a clot

117
Q

Warning signs of a stroke?

A

Weakness, Trouble Speaking, Vision Problems, Headaches, Dizziness

118
Q

Broken Heart Syndrome

A

Known as Tako-Tsubo because the broken heart looks like a lobster trap in Japan.

119
Q

What happens to the heart in BHS?

A

The left ventricle balloons. The reason behind it is the stress and panic one feels when going through an intense situation. Lowering adrenaline rush through calming down and breathing prevents BHS
