CV 5 Flashcards
3 causes of dysrhythmia
Channel malfunction
Conduction defects
Alterations in resting membrane potential
Stenosis
Valves are too stiff and don’t open well
Insufficiency
When valves don’t close well and they leak
Same as regurgitation
Valves at diastole
AV valves open
SL valves shut
Valves at systole
AV valves shut
SL valves open
Stenotic valves
Only open part way
Smaller radius
Higher resistance
Insufficient valves
Open part way for backward flow
Smaller radius at that time
Higher resistance
When does diastole start and stop?
Begins when the aortic valve closes, and ends when the atrioventricular valve closes
When does systole start and stop
Begins with the atrioventricular valve closes, ends when the aortic valve closes
