Cardiovascular (REVIEW TEST) Flashcards
A 53 y/o woman is found, by arteriography to have 50% narrowing of her left renal artery what is the expected change in bloodflow through the stenotic artery
1/16
- decreased by 24
When a person moves from supine to standing position.
Increased contractility
At which site is sytolic BP the highest ?
renal artery
A persons ECG has no p wave but has normal QRS and a normal T wave. therefore his pacemaker is located in the
AV node
If the ejection fracion increases, there will be a decrease in
End systolic volume
An ECG shows ventricular extrasystoles
An extrasystolic beat would produce
Decreased pulse pressure because stroke volume is decreased
After an extrasystole, the enxt normal ventricular contraction produces
Increased oulse presssure because the contractility of the venricle is increased
An increae in contractility is demonstrated on a Frank starling diagram by
Increased cardiac output for a given end diastolic volume
On the graph left ventricular volume and pressure, isovilumentric conraction occurs
1-2
The aortic valve closes at point
point 3
The first heart sound corresponds to point
point 4
if the heart rate is 70 bpm, then the CO of this ventricle is closest to
5.25 L/min
In a capillary Pc is 30 mmHg, Pi is -2mmHg. and πc is 25 mmHg and πi is 2mmHg
What is the direction of fluid movement and the net driving force?
Filtration; 9 mmHg
(Pc-Pi) - (πc-πi)
30-(-2) -(25-2) mmHg
In a capillary Pc is 30 mmHg, Pi is -2mmHg. and πc is 25 mmHg and πi is 2mmHg
if Kf is 0.5 ml/min/mmHg, what is the rate of water flow across the capillary wall?
4.50 mL/min
Kf x net pressure
0.5 ml x 9
The tendency for blood flow to be turbulent is increased by
Partial occlusion of a blood vessel
A 66 y/o man who has had a sympathectomy, xperiences a greater than normal fall in arterial pressure upon standing up. The explaination for this is
A suppressed response of the baroreceptor mechanism
The ventricles are completely depolarized during which isoelectric portion of the ECG?
ST segment
In which of the ff situations is pulmonary blood flow greater than aortic blood flow?
Left to right ventricular shunt
The change indicated by the dashed lines on the cardiac output/venous return curves
Increased mean systemic pressure
A 30 y/o female patient’s ECG shows two P waves preceding each QRS complex. the interpretation for this is
Decreased conduction through AV node
An acute decrease in arterial blood pressure elicits which of the following compensatory changes
Decreased firing rate of the caortid sinus
The tendency for edema to occur will be increased by
Increased venous pressure
Inspiration splits the second heart sound because
the aortic valve closes before the pulmonic valve
