Exam 1 lecture 4 Flashcards
The inferior mediastinum has how many parts
3
Anterior, posterior, middle
How many layers of pericardium do we have?
How many of them are visceral and parietal
3 layers
1 visceral
2 parietal
How many phrenic nerves do we have
2, one on each side of the diaphragm.
Each side of the diaphragm can operate independently of each other
The Esophagus sits next to what main vessel
Descending aorta
Where does the right vagus nerve innervate at
Is it a PNS or SNS comment, and what does that mean
SA node
PNS
Tells the heart to put the brakes on or slow down
Where does the left vagus nerve innervate at
Is it PNS or SNS
AV node
PNS- applies the brakes to the HR
What would the HR be with no PNS involvement and the nodes were allowed to go wild
HR would be around 110
How many layers of pericardial tissues do we have?
Name them
3 layers
visceral pericardium
Parietal layer
Fibrous layer
Which layer of pericardium sits most superficial and is very tough? If blood leaks underneath this layer, it will not expand and not be good for the heart
Fibrous layer
Which layer is considered serous, has a strong attachment to the superior fibrous layer
Pareital layer
Which layer is very thin, sits directly on top of the heart and is considered a serous layer
Visceral pericardium
What is the tendon platform that the heart sits directly on top of
Central tendon
What is the purpose of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus
The ductus arteriosus is a normal fetal artery connecting the aorta and the main lung artery (pulmonary artery). The ductus allows blood to detour away from the lungs before birth.
which valve is the bicuspid valve
Mitral
Label the valves
Weird question I know…….
Can you have a bicuspid aortic valve?
yes 1-2% of people have it
Will you have an increased or decreased valve opening with a bicuspid valve
Decreased opening size
A normal aortic valve comes into contact with what 2 arteries
RCA and LCA
Which cusp of the aortic valve is not connected to a coronary artery?
The posterior cusp also called
NCC non coronary cusp
What is the important electrical insulator between the top and bottom half of the heart
Cartilaginous ring
What rattles during the 3rd heart sound in a sick heart
Cartilaginous ring
Kids’ hearts are able to accommodate _______ compared to adults
Less
They dont handle excess volume to well
What is the opening in the cartilaginous ring that allows communication between the top and bottom parts of the heart
Opening for the bundle of his
How do pediatric hearts compensate for increased venous return? How is that different than adults
Kids will increase HR
Adults increase SV
What is the name of the “fake cusp” that hands out in the mitral valve
Commissural cusp
is a part of the posterior cusp
What does the LCA branch into
LAD- widow maker- on left ventricle
circumflex artery- backside of heart also perfuse LV
In 15% of the population where does the PDA branch from
15% From LCA= higher pressure and can be problematic
85% of people the PDA come from RCA
Coronary blood flow is regulated by what?
Coronary blood flow is relegated to delta P
driven by aortic pressure
also regulated by wall pressure
What side of the heart is mostley to have ischemia
Left side due to pressure
LV has highest wall pressure
What side of the heart is mostly to have ischemia
Left side due to pressure
LV has highest wall pressure
Where are the heart auscultation sites
2nd intercostal site right side- aortic valve- very loud
2nd intercostal left side is the pulmonic valve- blood moving towards the right shoulder
5th intercostal next to sternum left side is tricuspid
5th left side, more lateral is mitral
APTM- order of auscultation
What is the 1st heart sound duration and overall pitch
1st heart sound is 0.14 seconds and low pitch lub
What is the second heart sound duration and overall pitch
2nd 0.11 seconds and high pitch dub
Does high pitch or low pitch have the lowest amount of oscillations per second
Low pitch= low oscillations per second or HZ
What is the normal hearing range in HZ of a young healthy patient
20Hz- 20,000 HZ(20KHZ)
Old people top out around 10,000 HZ
What is a phonocardiogram
Phonocardiogram- low pitch microphones useful for murmur diagnosis
What is the 4th heart sound
4th sound is atrial kick isn’t usually heard in healthy patients
Is aortic stenosis a systolic or diastolic murmur
Systolic
Aortic stenosis is systolic murmur- from narrow valve and increases blood velocity through it and creates more turbulent flow, loudest of all murmurs
Is mitral stenosis a systolic or diastolic murmur
Diastolic murmur- gets louder during rapid filling phase and gets louder the farther it fills and is loudest at atrial contraction
When during the cardiac cycle will you hear mitral regurgitation the loudest
beginning of systole
Is aortic regurgitation a systolic or diastolic murmur
Aortic regurgitation diastolic murmur- lot of regurge at high pressure in aorta and low volume in ventricles, large influx of blood backwards
Is PDA a systolic or diastolic murmur
PDA- is both diastolic and systolic murmur- from blood flow not related to a valve, from aortic pressure 100 and pulmonary pressure of 16 connection between the two, sound will be highest when delta P is highest
What is the term for backward flow
Retrograde flow
What happens to cornonary perfusion with sever aortic stenosis
high resistance valve increase LV pressure to compensate
decreased coronary perfusion since wall pressure is way higher than aortic pressure
How many syllables are in Phonocardiogram?
6 maybe…..
Anything that increases wall pressure does what to coronary perfusion
Decreases perfusion
Does Bradycardia have increased or decreased coronary perfusion
Increased
Spends more time in diastole
What is the resting coronary blood flow per minute in 100 grams of heart tissues
70ml/min/100 grams
What is the normal resting coronary blood flow in an adult heart per minute
225ml/minute
10-20% of patients with CAD have what valve issues
Mitral Regurgitation
What are the values of blood in ml for mild,medium, severe mitral regurgiation
10-20% of people with CAD have this
<30ml=mild
30-60ml= medium
>60ml=severe end stage mitral regurgitation
What type of axis deviation will we see with mitral stenosis
Right axis
What happens to our P wave with mitral stenosis
Prolonged p wave from LA strecth
What two common heart rhythms are really, really really bad for mitral stenosis
A fib- no atrial kick not swell for MS
Tachycardia- less time in filing, not swell
What bacterial agent is most common to cause mitral stenosis
Strep
If we have an elevated P wave, what does that mean
Something is wrong with the Right side of the heart
Do you want high afterload or low afterload for our mitral regurgitation patients
Low
Lower afterload will have lower BP overall and low intraventricular pressure.
High afterload increases LV pressure and push more blood into LA and further back.
Want to reduce afterload if you can be careful in severe regurge and patient with severe CAD
