CV IV Flashcards
Late diastole
Starts with atria relaxed and fills from veins
Both sets of chambers are relaxed and ventricles fill passively
Pressure in atria starts to exceed ventricle
AV valves open Passive filling 80%
Atrial systole
Atrial contraction forces small amount of additional blood
20% of ventricular filling due to atrial contraction
Lub
First heart sounds
Shutting of AV valves as ventricular blood tries to go back to atria
Sound is vibrations of wall as blood hits valve
Isovolumetric ventricular contraction
No change in volume
Pushes AV valves closed but doesn’t create enough pressure to open semilunar valves
Both valves closed and pressure builds
Ventricular ejection
Ventricle pressure rises exceeds pressure in arteries (aorta or pulmonary), semilunar valves open
Dub
Second heart sound
Closure of semilunar valves
Isovolumetric ventricular relaxation
Pressure in ventricles falls,blood flows back into cusps of semilunar valves and snaps them closed
What is the pressure volume loop
Another way to look at cardiac cycle of systemic
ESV
Blood left in ventricle after ventricular contraction, minimum amount
Safety reservoir
~65ml
EDV
Amount of blood in ventricle at end of diastole, after ventricular filling
Max volume
~135ml
A-A’
Late diastole
- starts at ESV
Big change volume because ventricle relaxing, no change in pressure
A’-B segment
Atrial systole
Slight increase in volume and blood
End diastolic volume
B-C segment
Isovolumetric contraction
Large increase in pressure
C-D segment
Ventricular ejection
- pressure rises
- pressure drops as ventricles relax but blood still flows
C-D segment is
Stroke volume
D-A segment
Isovolumetric relaxation
- pressure drops, no volume change
Pressure volume loop for RV
Short low pressure circuit
- ejects same amount of blood as systemic
- overall stroke volume same
- needs less pressure
- lower resistance (short, large diameter)
