Hemodynamic Disorders 1 Flashcards
Normal Left ventricular end diastolic volume
150ml
Normal LV end systolic volume
50ml
Normal stroke volume
100ml
Normal ejection fraction
67%
Normal left ventricular end diastolic pressure
10mm hg
Normal left ventricular systolic pressure
130 mmhg
Normal Right atrial pressure
3 mm Hg
Right ventricular systolic pressure
25 mm Hg
Left atrial pressure
8 mm Hg
Preload
The ventricular wall tension at the end of diastole
Afterload
the resistance the ventricles must overcome when pushing their contents out
Compliance
Stiffness of the ventricle wall
Diastolic dysfunction is
Impaired cardiac filling
Systolic dysfunction is
Impaired contractility or decreased afterload.
Does diastolic dysfunction reduce the ejection fraction
typically not
The five major categories of the factors determining the hearts function as a pump are
preload,, afterload, contractility, compliance, heart rhythm
Greatest risk of heart failure
Coronary artery disease
Ischemic cardiomyopathy
Multiple old myocardial infarcts…big cause of chronic heart failure
Hypertension causes heart failure how?
causing excessive afterload
Heart failure due to stenosis, hypertension, or coronary artery disease typically does what to the ejection fraction
lowers it
Most common symptom of heart failure
dyspnea
how does heart fialure lead to dyspnea
pulmonary venous return is backed up and causes increased pressure in the pulmonary veins. When this pulmonary pressure gets over 20, a transudate of fluid passes into the interstitium and compresses the bronchioles and alveoli. Increaes the resistance to airflow and the work of breathing.
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
increased venous return from the lower body increases preload and causes dyspnea
Orthopnea
pretty simple
