CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Flashcards
-1st heart sound
-“lubb”
-systole
S1
-2ND HEART SOUND
-dubb
-t-wave
S2
ventricular repolarization (relax)
s2
closure of AV valve
“lubb” s1
closure of tricuspid/mitral valve
“systole” s1
closure of semilunar valve
dubb ; s2
closure of aortic/pulmonic
diastole; s2
-3rd heart sound
-murmur heard
S3
what causes s3 heart sound
ventricular gallop
normal occurence of s3:
-infants upto 6 mons
-pregnancy
-athletes
heart sound:
-Hypertension
s4
s4 is due to?
rapid filling of blood in ventricle
commonly assessed in elderly
s4
what causes s4?
atrial gallop
medication that delays impulses from SA to AV nodes
calcium channel blockers (dipine)
medication that decreases ventricular contractions; promote healing
beta-blockers
Nursing alert for CCB & BB
check HR & RR
SIDE EFFECTS OF CALCIUM CHANNEL & BETA BLOCKERS
-bradycardia
-hypotension
-vasodilation
-impotence
CONTRAINDICATIONS while taking Beta-blockers & calcium channel blocker
-asthma/bronchitis
-heart block: lowers ventricular contraction
-CHF: decrease cardiac output
-DM: increase viscosity + beta-blockers= thrombus (clot) formation
5 waves of ECG
P-WAVE
PR- INTERVAL
QRS-COMPLEX
ST- SEGMENT
T-WAVE
QT SEGMENT
atrial depolarization : ecg
p-wave
ecg:
-travel of impulse from SA to AV node
-drop of blood from atrium to ventricle
PR interval
ecg:
-s1 lubb
-ventricular depolarization
QRS complex
ecg:
-point of ventricular contraction just before relaxation
ST segment
ecg:
-s2 dubb
-ventricular repolarization
t-wave
whole phase of ventricular contraction to relaxation
QT segment
decrease myocardial oxygenation
CAD (Coronary artery disease)
ACS (acute corony syndrome)
AKA heart attack
-myocardial tissue necrosisdue to ischemia (low oxygen)
MI (myocardial infarction)
type of MI:
Both right & left coronary artery are obstructed
TRANSMURAL
type of MI:
1 coronary artery is only obstructed
SUBENDOCARDIAL
MI/ISCHEMIA
Short pathophysio
OCCLUSION
—->
Myocardial ischemia/ insufficiency
—->
Chest pain
occlusion in MI/ Ischemia
-Thrombus
-Atherosclerosis
-Arterioscelorosis
plaque formation
atherosclerosis
hardened plaques
arteriosclerosis
Universal sign of chest pain:
Levine’s sign
Characteristic of Chest pain:
Chest tightness
-Permanent/total blockage
-long in duration (>10 mins)
-cant be relieved by rest
MI
DOC for Angina pectoris
Nitroglycerin
Complication of MI
Ventricular arrhythmia/ Dysrrythmia
-Most life threatening
-Unstable: 1st 6-8 hours
-Safest: after 24 hours
DOC: MI
Morphine Sulfate
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
DECREASE/LOW:
-Ventricular contraction
-HR
-cardiac output
-BP (shock)
Ventricular arrhythmia; SAFEST TIME
After 24 hours
Ventricular arrhythmia: unstable
1st 6-8 hours
Type of angina that is unpredictable and occurs at rest
unstable/atypical angina
Type of angina that is predictable and occurs on activity
stable/ typical angina
Type of angina that is due to vasospasm or exposure to cold
prinzmetal/ variant angina
DOC: Cardiogenic shock
ADRENALINE : E-N-D
-sympathetic
-Norepinephrine
-Epinephrine
-Dopamine
Left sided
s3 murmur
fluid shift to the lungs
CHF
Complications of MI
-Ventricular arrhythmia/ dysrhythmias
-Cardiogenic shock
-CHF
No. 1 cause of death in MI
PVC
(Premature ventricular contraction)
Characteristics of PVC:
-No P-waves
-Bizzare QRS
-Widening of QRS
DOC: PVC
lidocaine (xylocaine)
SE: lowers HR
