Q
When does mitral valve close in cardiac cycle?
A
Beginning of isovolumetric contraction (Force of ventricular contraction causes blood to push back on AV valve, causing closure)
14
Q
What happens when mitral valve closes?
A
S1 sound “lubb”
15
Q
When does aortic valve open?
A
End of isovolumetric contraction.
16
Q
What electrical event happens right before mitral valve closes?
A
R-wave. (Ventricular depolarization causing ventricular contraction and mitral valve to close)
17
Q
When does aortic valve close?
A
Beggining of Isovolumetric relaxation Why? Pressure in ventricle begins to decrease during ventricular repolarization (after T wave). Pressure is less in ventricle than aorta, blood flows backward, closing aortic valve.
18
Q
What happens when aortic valve closes?
A
S2 “dubb” closure of semilunar valves
19
Q
How many valves are open in the heart during isovolumetric relaxation?
A

20
Q
What other time in cardiac cycle are all vavles close?
A
Isovolumetric contraction (no blood leaving heart= all valves closed)
21
Q
When does mitral valve open?
A
At end of isovolumetric relaxation. Pressure is now lower in ventricle than atria, mitral valve is allowed to open and blood passively fills ventricle.
22
Q
What happens after mitral valve opens?
A
Blood “rushes into” ventricle causing rapid ventricular filling (rapid passive filling)
23
Q
What creates S3 sound?
A
Rapid ventricular filling AKA Diastolic filling (from blood sloshing against walls of heart) Can typically only hear in young children.
24
Q

Bulging back of mitral valve into atrium from ventricle d/t pressure from ventricular contraction
26
What happens at V wave on left atrial pressure?
Ventricular relaxation. Blood beings to flow into ventricle causing decrease in LA pressure
27
As the blood rushes back into ventricle during vectricular relaxation, does some blood go into LV from aorta?
Yes. Small amount causing slight negative deflection in aortic blood flow waveform

elastic
42

recoils
43

44
Where does the stroke volume go during systole?
Into distention of the aorta, blood goes forward.
45
Aging generally results in a decrease in aortic _____ and \_\_\_\_\_
elasticity and compliance
46
Decrease in elasticity and compliance leads to increase in ____ \_\_\_\_\_
pulse pressure
47
What happens to PP with decreased HR?
Increase in PP and it is not a sign of stiff arteries. Heart just has more time to fill, so therefore high SV, higher PP
48
What does arterial wave form look like in aortic insufficiency
Blood is going back into ventricle during systole, therefore LV is becoming more filled each time. Heart ejecting more blood each time, therefore higher pressure generated. Systolic pressure also drops faster than normal since blood is able to go back into LV Diastolic pressure drops because of incompetent valve
49
What happens to arterial pressure waveofrm in arterosclerosis?
D/t hardening of arteries, when you eject, a higher systolic pressure is required. Also causes higher diastolic pressure. Makes heart work harder and harder for heart to oxygenate cardiomyocytes as well.

Increasing Ca++ in cardiomyocytes normally through SNS activation. E -Epinephrine increases Ca influx -Parasympathetic does not affect contracility. Either heart increases contractility or it contracts at normal strength.
