Heart lecture 3 Flashcards
Period between start of heartbeat and the next
Cardiac cycle
Phases of cardiac cycle step 1
Cycle begins, everything relaxed (diastole)
atrial systole
Atrial systole, atria contracts, fills ventricles
How atrial systole works?
SA node fires, atriums contract
End of atrial systole/ventricular diastole measurement
End diastolic volume (EDV)
Phases of cardiac cycle step 3: Atrial diastole
atria relax, signal continue thru heart
Phases of cardiac cycle step 4/5:
Ventricular systole (2phases)
Ventricular systole phase 1
Ventricular contraction - prior to semilunar valves
Contraction with no volume change
Isovolumetric contraction
Ventricular systole phase 2
Ventricular ejection - semilunar valves open, blood leaves
Pressure needed to open semilunar valves
LV: >80mmHg
RV: >20mmHg
Remaining volume in each ventricle after systole
End systolic volume
Phases of Cardiac cycle step 6: Ventricular diastole
Ventricular diastole - ventricles relax, pressure drops, valve closing
Isovolumetric relaxation
valves closed, blood passively fill atria
Phases of cardiac cycle step 8: late ventricular diastole
Ventricular diastole- late - chambers relaxed - ventricles passively fill ~70%
Ventricular diastole how long?
400msec
State of ventricles and atria during ventricular diastole
Relaxed
pressure aortic valve closes
100mmHg
What happens when ventricular pressure drop below atrial
AV valves open
How does aortic valve open
Pressure changes in aorta
aortic valve closing causes what?
short pressure rise
What is dicrotic notch
Valley in pressure tracing by short pressure rise
What is the process of listening to body sounds? What tool used for it
Auscultation
Stethoscope
How heart sounds produced
blood turbulance from closing valves
