HEART Flashcards
what’s a good way to view congenital heart defects and heart circulation?
cardiac catheterization
what’s the embryological derivative of the right auricle?
premordial atrium
incomplete closure of fossa ovalum?
atrial septal defect —-> hypertrophy of right atrium, ventricle, & vascular system
occlusion of artery supplying the brain by a thrombi
stroke/cerebrovascular accident
where do coronary arteries come off of aorta?
left & right cusps
failure of valve to fully open which slows blood flow from chamber
stenosis
failure of valve to close completely (nodule formation on cusps)
insufficiency/regurgitation
turbulence/eddies from stenosis and regurgitation
murmurs
superficial vibrations on skin over area of turbulence
thrills
surgical replacement of valves
valvuloplasty
method that uses ultrasonic waves to determine position and motion of heart
echocardiography
visualization of coronary artery
coronary angiograms; through ascending aorta
blood regurgitates into left atrium when left ventricle contracts
prolapsed mitral valve
conus arteriosus underdeveloped & right ventricle hypertrophy
infundibular pulmonary stenosis
back up of blood under high pressure during diastole because of thickened cusps —> murmur
pulmonary valve incompetence
result of degenerative calcification; left ventricle hypertrophy
aortic valve stenosis
aortic regurgitation into left ventricle, producing heart murmurs & collapsing pulse
aortic valve insufficiency
pain originating in heart due to lactic acid build up from anaerobic metabolism from oxygen insufficiency; result of ischemia of myocardium but NO MI occurs
angina pectoris
sudden occlusion of major artery due to embolism and leads to necrosis; common cause is atherosclerosis
myocardial infarction
lipid accumulation on interior walls of coronary arteries
coronary atherosclerosis
slow occlusion that allows for large collateral circulation
slowly progressive coronary artery disease
segment of artery or vein is attached to ascending aorta or proximal coronary artery distal to stenosis
coronary bypass graft
catheter with small balloon used to inflate artery & flatten atherosclerotic plaque
precutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
what is injected through catheter to dissolve blood clot?
thrombokinase
the smallest cardiac vein is important for?
reversal of blood flow to bring luminal blood (blood in chamber of heart) into myocardium to provide collateral circulation
amplification and recording of the passage of impulses over the heart through the SA nodes
electrocardiography
what coronary artery supplies the AV bundle?
LAD
what coronary artery supplies the SA and AV nodes?
right coronary artery
condition where the impulse does not reach ventricles; ventricles contract slower than normal & atria continue to contract at normal rate
heart block
