Heart Lab Flashcards
Which heart sound? Produced in the beginning of systole when the AV valve closes and the SL valves open
Lub sound
1st heart sound
Which heart sound? Occurs after the rapid fillings of the ventricles after the AV valves open
3rd heart sound
4 major ausculatory areas
- Aortic area
- Tricuspid area
- Pulmonary area
- Mitral area
Pressure exerted by the blood against the vessel walls
Blood pressure
The recording of the vibration sounds
Phonocardium
Which heart sound? Occurs at the time of atrial contraction. Do to rush of blood into the ventricles
4th heart sound
Which heart sound? Occurs at the end of systole and caused by the closure of the SL valves and the opening of the AV valves
DUB sound
2nd Heart sound
Area on the chest where the sounds from each valve can be heard most clearly
Ausculatory area
Highest pressure in the artery-produced during the hearts contraction
Systolic BP
Normal systolic BP
120 mmHg
Most commonly measured BP
Atrial pressure
Lowest pressure in the artery-produced during the hearts relaxation phase
Diastolic pressure
Normal diastolic BP
80mmHg
Pulse pressure formula
SP-DP
Normal pulse pressure
40 mmHg
