When does mitral valve close in cardiac cycle?
Beginning of isovolumetric contraction (Force of ventricular contraction causes blood to push back on AV valve, causing closure)
What happens when mitral valve closes?
S1 sound “lubb”
When does aortic valve open?
End of isovolumetric contraction.
What electrical event happens right before mitral valve closes?
R-wave. (Ventricular depolarization causing ventricular contraction and mitral valve to close)
When does aortic valve close?
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.
What happens when aortic valve closes?
S2 “dubb” closure of semilunar valves
How many valves are open in the heart during isovolumetric relaxation?
0 valves open. (i.e. isovolumetric)
What other time in cardiac cycle are all vavles close?
Isovolumetric contraction (no blood leaving heart= all valves closed)
When does mitral valve open?
At end of isovolumetric relaxation. Pressure is now lower in ventricle than atria, mitral valve is allowed to open and blood passively fills ventricle.
What happens after mitral valve opens?
Blood “rushes into” ventricle causing rapid ventricular filling (rapid passive filling)
What creates S3 sound?
Rapid ventricular filling AKA Diastolic filling (from blood sloshing against walls of heart) Can typically only hear in young children.
What happens at a-wave in left atrial pressure waveform?
Atrial contraction (after P wave on EKG)
What happens at c wave on left atrial pressure waveform?
Bulging back of mitral valve into atrium from ventricle d/t pressure from ventricular contraction
What happens at V wave on left atrial pressure?
Ventricular relaxation. Blood beings to flow into ventricle causing decrease in LA pressure
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
What causes S4 on heart sounds?
Atrial contraction. Always pathologic
What represents ventricular systole on ekg?
R-T
What causes a, c, v wave on venous pulse waveofrm?
a- atrial contraction c- mitral valve bulging back v- ventricular relaxation (filling) after atrial filling
What marks closure of AV valves?
S1 “lubb”
What marks closure of semilunar valves?
S2 “dubb”
What happens if S3 present?
Rapid passive filling of ventricle. Normally not heard in adults May be present in children and endurance athletes
What happens at S4?
Atrial systole ALWAYS pathological if heard
What is a murmur?
Gugling sound made as blood moves through a damaged valve
What is a buirt?
Abnormal sound as blood runs past obstruction in arteries
When is jugular venous pulse useful?
Diagnosis of heart disease
Why can you see jugular venous pulse?
No valve separating RA from central venous space. Seeing backpressure of blood flow
What does SV equal?
LVEDV- LVESV Amount of blood left at end of diastole (when ventricle filled)- amount of blood left at end of systole (when ventricle is emptied)
What is compliance defined to be?
change in V/change in P
The more ____ aorta is, the greater compliance
elastic
During diastole, the aorta ____
recoils
What helps maintain pressure during distole?
Diastolic recoil
Where does the stroke volume go during systole?
Into distention of the aorta, blood goes forward.
