Regurgitation

A

gurgling/fluttering sound= murmur

32
Q

Most valve problems?

A

Atrioventricular valves

33
Q

Mitral Valve prolapse

A
  • failure of chords/papillary muscles to stabilize bicuspid valve

34
Q

Systole

A
  • contraction of the myocardium

- injects blood

35
Q

Diastole

A
  • relaxation of the myocardium

- blood flows

36

A

lubb

37
Q

A

dupp

38
Q

Heart murmur

A

mechanical failure of a heart valve

39
Q

Sino-atrial (SA) node

A
  • medial wall of the right atrium

- pacemaker (nodal) cells are responsible for heart rate

40
Q

Atrioventricular (AV) node

A

-connected to the SA-node

41
Q

AV bundle (Bundle of His)

A
  • runs from the AV-node through the inter-ventricular septum
  • purkinje fibers branch then out into ventricular walls
42
Q

Heart slowed:

A

parasympathetic ANS (acetylcholine)

43
Q

Heart accelerated:

A

sympathetic ANS (norepinephrine)

44
Q

Angina pectoris

A

referred pain associated with a heart attack

45
Q

Embolus

A

drifting clot in the circulation

46
Q

Embolism

A

blockage due to the clot

47
Q

Coronary ischemia

A

restricted blood supply to myocardium

48
Q

Myocardial infarction

A

localized cell death in myocardium

49
Q

Infarction

A

tissue death due to blockage

50
Q

Electrical flow

A

SA Node -> AV Node -> AV Bundle -> Purkinje fibers

51
Q

Norepinephrine

A

accelerates

52
Q

Acetylcholine

A

slows
