General review test 1 Flashcards
What borders the heart laterally
Lungs
Superior to inferior - Posterior border formed by
Left ventricle and part of IVC
What borders the Anterior heart
The sternum and Left costal cartilages 3-5
PMI in a normal adult is located at
Mitral area
S3 can be normal in who
Young adults and children
The PMI with cardiac enlargement is visible at
Lateral to left MCL
S3 and S4 sounds like a
Dull, low pitched sound
ABNL sounds to hear for in aortic area
Stenosis and aortic aneurysm pulsations
What happens if Pericardial fluid is too little
Pericarditis
Parietal pericardium is composed of
Thick fibrous tissue and creates a sack
Normal quanity of pericardial fluid
10-20cc
S2 physiology
Aortic and Pulmonary artery pressures exceed ventricular pressure forcing APV to close
What pericardial layer is synonymous with epicardium
Viseral layer (outer layer of the heart)
Superior to inferior - Anterior border formed by
Pulmonary trunk & right ventricle
Pulmonic area sounds heard best
Pulmonic valve and pulmonary artery
Tricuspid area sounds best heard
Tricuspid valve and right ventricle
ABNL S3 sound general charcteristics
During diastole just after S2 - ventricles fill fast (SLOSH-ing-in S123)
Mitral area is directly over
Left ventricle (aka apical area or apex)
Pathologic S3 indicates and referred as what
Volume overload (CHF or MI) - AKA ventricular gallop
