64
Q

What happens to the pressure of the ventricles during isovolumetric ventricular relaxation?

A

it remains the same

80
Q

What happens to all the valves when ventricles contract?

A

they close

81
Q

Why does the semilunar valve open?

A

to send blood to the aorta from the ventricle

82
Q

Why is the pressure in the ventricles greater than the aortic pressure during ventricular ejection?

A

because you need enough pressure in the ventricle to overcome the pressure in the aorta to push blood

83

A

it opens

90
Q

A

at the QRS complex

91

99
Q

What is the formula for cardiac output?

A

heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV)

100
Q

What is cardiac output equal to?

A

70 b/min x 70 ml = 4900 mL min (5L / min)

101
Q

(T or F) The ventricle generates pressure over the duration of the cardiac cycle

A

False! - it only generates pressure over about 1/3 of the cycle. The rest is due to the Windkessel effect

102
Q

(T or F) The Windkessel effect generates pressure over the cardiac cycle except during the contraction of the ventricle.

A

False! Systole starts the instant that the ventricle contracts. There is a period of isovolumetric ventricular contraction when the aortic valve is closed, and no pressure is generated by the ventricle in the aorta.

103
Q

(T or F) The BP measures of palpation, auscultation and oscillometry measure the same thing in different ways.

A

False! While they all can estimate systolic pressure, only auscultation and oscillometry measure diastolic pressure.

104
Q

(T or F) A patient has a muscle twitch in their bicep. This might give abnormal readings using an automated BP machine, but not using the stethoscope method.

A

True! The cuff pressure in the oscillometry measure is used to estimate BP. Twitches in the muscle would change the cuff pressure, but wouldn’t affect the Korotkoff sounds, which are downstream. But this is just a guess! – the manufacturers probably have algorithms in place to counter this.

105
Q

The two valves of the left ventricle are either open or closed. There are 4 possible ways the valves can present: (closed, closed), (open, closed), (closed, open) or (open, open), and each defines a phase. Is this true?

A

False! The two valves are never open at the same time. Blood would flow in the wrong direction!
