CV Flashcards
S1
AV valves closing - mitral and tricuspid
Pulmonary and aortic opening
beginning of systole
S2
closure of pulmonary and aortic
opening of mitral and tricuspid
beginning of diastole
S3
rapid ventricular filling
normal: children, athletes, pregnancy d/t added blood volume, vigorous relaxation of LV
abnormal: all else, often seen in decomposition CHF d/t high LA pressure
S4
atria contracting against stiff/noncompliant ventricle
always abnormal
ventricular hypertrophy, scar tissue
right border of heart CXR
mostly RA
anterior heart CXR
mostly RV
RV blood supply
R marginal artery
AV node blood supply
PDA
posterior walls of ventricles blood supply
PDA
anterior LV blood supply
LAD
most commonly occluded
lateral and posterior LV blood supply
left circumflex coronary artery
LV blood supply
posterior - PDA
anterior - LAD
lateral and posterior - left circumflex
LA blood supply
left circumflex
SA node blood supply
RCA
sympathetic innervation heart
T1-T4/5 spinal nerves/sympathetic trunk
