General diagnosis p2 Flashcards
Jugular venous pulsation
- measures the pressure of right side of heart.
pulsus magnus
- bounding
- increased cardiac output
- execise
- anxiety
- fever
- hyperthyroidsm
pulsus parvus
- weak
- decreased stroke volume
- hypovolemia
- aortic stenosis
- chf
*
pulsus alterans
- alternates in amplitude
- left ventricle failure
pulsus bisferiens
Best felt where
- 2 strong systolic peaks sperated by mild systolic dip
- best felt in caroted artery
- aortic regurgitation
- aortic stenosis
oulsus paradoxus
- decreased amplitude on inspiration
- increased with expiration
- copd
- bronchial asthma
- emphysma
- pericardia effusion
water hammer pulse
- jery pulse that is rapidly increaseing and then collapsing because of aortic insufficiency
trhrills
- vibration produced by turbulent blood flow within the heart
what contracts on systole
ventricle
what happens in diastole
ventricles rest and they are filling
heart sound S1
- lub
- closure of of AV valves
- mitral and tricuspid
Heart sound : S2
- dub
- closure of semilunar valve
- pulmonary and aortic
Heart sound : S3
- ventricular gallop
- normal in children, young adults and athletes
- early sign of CHF
Heart sound: S4
- atrial gallop
- similar to S3 , related to stiffness of ventricular myocardium to rapid filling
location of cardiac auscultation : aortic valve
- right sternal border at 2nd intercostal space
- best when patient is seated leaning forward or exhaling
*
location of cardiac auscultation : pulmonic valve
- left sternal border at 2nd intercostal
location of cardiac auscultation : tricuspid
- left sternal border at the 4th or 5th intercostal
location of cardiac auscultation : mitral valve
- mid clavicular at 5th intercostal space
Murmurs: stenosis
- valve has trouble opening and the blood swirls through a narrow opening
- low pitch sound and best heard with the bell of stethoscope
Murmurs: regurgitation
- valve is insufficient and blood seeps or squirts back into the chamber
- this murmur has a high pitch and best hear with the diaphram of the stethoscope
what is the mnemonic for heart murmurs?
- ARMS PRTS
- this is in DIASTOLE
- when doing systole
- it is opossite: change regurgitatiion to stensis
- instead of ARMS PRTS, in systole, it is ASMR PSTR
Patent ductus arteriosus
* detail
- failure of shunt to close between the aorta and left pulmonary artery
- creates a continuous/machinery like murmur that can be heard in both phases of heart cycle
Tetralogy of fallot
- DRIP : dextraposition of aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy, interventricular septal defect m pulmonary stenosis
- creates a loud ejection murmur during sytole and severe cyanosis
coactation of aorta
* detail
* associated w/ what?
- constriction of the descending aorta (usually distal to lefty subclavian
- causes higher blood pressure in the upper extremity by 20mm hg when compared to lower extremity
- associated with marfan syndrome
Sublcavian steal syndrome
- proximal stenosis of sublavian artery
- seen in younger females who faint while exercising
- narrowing of proximal Vertebral artery
left sided heart failure
* detail
* mcc
* fluid where?
* age
- 35-55
- MCC is hypertension
- 2nd mcc is aortic stenosis
- early sign = pulmonary edema ( fluid in lungs ) causing shortness of breath and orthopnea
- fluid in costophrenic angle
- LEFT = LUNG
- left ventricle squeeze harder, it gets bigger, big is bad
Right sided heart failure
* MCC
* where does blood go?
* symptoms?
* what happens to heart rate?
* and bp
- MCC left sided HF
- MCC of mitral stenosis is rheumatic fever
- bascks up to SVC and down to the IVC
- edema and fluid in extremities,
jugular venous distension SVC,
liver sleep enlargement hepatojugular reflex,
ascitis,
caput mesude spider angioma,
pitting edema,
stasis dermatitis - increased heart rate, s3 gallop, decreased blood pressure
Cor pulmonale
- when right side fails by itself

Aneurysm
- abnormal widening that involves all 3 layers
- defect in elastic media tissues
P -wave
- normal atril depolarization
QRS complex
- depolarization of the ventricles
- repolarization of the atria is hidden here
T wave
- repolarization of the ventricles
Increased PR interval
- prolonged AV nodal delay
- primary heart block
2 p waves before QRS
- weinkbochs block of bundle of HIS
- secondary heart block
no QRS pattern
- complete heart block
- no ventricular contraction
ST segment is enlarged or inverted
MI
acute heart failure
Bowel sounds :
borborygmus

increased bowel sounds
Bowel sounds : late intestinal obstruction
absent bower sounds
adynamic ileus / paralytic ileus
hematemesis

- biopsy
what happens to rbc when it reaches 120 days
- when it reaches 120 days
- it gets sent to the spleen
- spleen cuts rbc into heme and globulin
- heme gets converted to unconjucated/ indirect bilirubin in the spleen
- it get sent to liver to turn into conjucated/direct bilirubin
- most will be sent to gall bladder for bile and then secreted in small intesteine
Billirubin : conjucated / direct
- water soluble
- increase w/ duct obstruction ( gall stones , hepatic dx, pancreatic cancer
- increased amounts in blood may cause bilirubine in the urine
Billirubin : unconjucated / indirect
