Heart, Pulmo Flashcards
site of highest oxygenation
Pulmonary Vein
Only arteries that contain deoxygenated blood
pulmonary artery
umbilical artery.
Most important determinant of
Pulse Pressure
SV
Distensibility of blood vessel
Capacitance/Compliance
C= V/P
capacitance of veins > arteries
capacitance decreases with age
systemic disease that can cause 3rd degree AV block
Amyloidosis
Sarcoidosis
SLE
one drug that causes Torsades de pointes
Macrolides
prominent U wave – suscep to Torsades
inotrope affect
Ventricular contraction - SV
Chronotrophe affects
SA node - HR
affected by inward Calcium
Dromotrophe affects
AV node - conduction velocity
slowest conduction velocity
predisposes athlete to premature ventricular contraction
bradycardia
3 factors increase SV
Digitalis
Beta 1 stimulation
increase HR
main energy for stroke work
fatty acids
longest phase of cardiac cycle
Reduced ventricular filling
dependent on HR
3 instances when atrial pressure increases
a wave
c wave
v wave
auscultatory hallmark of ASD
