heart Flashcards
What are the signs and symptoms of heart disease commonly elicited during hx
Angina, Orthopnea, Palpitations, Edema, Fatigue & Weakness,
Angina
Chest pain d/t hypoxia
Orthopnea
Difficulty breathing in recumbant position
Palpitations
being aware of heart beating; have to change rate, regularity, force of contraction in some way to make you be aware of it
Edema
Accumulation of fluid in interstitial space
Peripheral Edema
may be indication of cardiovascular disease;congestive Heart Failure. Seen in damage to R side of heart
Pulmonary Edema
Seen with damage to L side of heart
Fatigue and Weakness
decreased muscle perfusion d/t change in cardiac output (decreased CO2 decrease in perfusion)
stroke Volume
The amount of blood pumped by one ventrivle duringeach heart beat. SV=EDV-ESV
Good Stroke volume for adult
approx. 70mL
Bad Stroke Volume for Adult
approx. 40 mL
Hypertension vs. Hypotension
140/90 HTN; 120/80 Norm; 90/60 HoTN
Pulse Pressure
difference btw systolic and diastolic. 120/80 PP=40
Korotkoff 1st sound
- Snapping sound first heard at the systolic pressure. Clear tapping, repetitive sounds for at least two consecutive beats is considered the systolic pressure.
Korotkoff 2nd sound
sounds are the murmurs heard for most of the area between the systolic and diastolic pressures
Korotkoff 3rd sound
A loud, crisp tapping sound.
Korotkoff 4th sound
at pressures within 10 mmHg above the diastolic blood pressure, were described as “thumping” and “muting”.
Korotkoff 5th sound
sound is silence as the cuff pressure drops below the diastolic blood pressure. The disappearance of sound is considered diastolic blood pressure – two mm Hg above the last sound heard.
Define Pulse Pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
Calculate Pulse Pressure for 120/80
40
Kussmaul’s sign
increased venous pressure with inspiration opposite of what it should be (decrease) = (big jugular veins); deep rapid respiration commonly seen in conditions causing acidosis
s1 Lub sound correlates with
onset of venticular systole
S1 sound what is closing
