hemodynamic measurements Flashcards
velocity equals
flow/ area
vessel RESISTANCE is ____ proportional to radius to the 4th power
indirectly
FLOW is ___ proportional to radius to 4th
directyl
(bernoulli) stenosis - velocity ___ as diameter decreases
increases
normal SVR
700-1600
SVR is primarily determined by
changes in blood vessel diameters
when the volume of flow starts to decrease, arterial resistance ___. because the organ is saying I need ____!
decreases , dilates. volume… (doesnt constrict thinking its a BP problem)
CO =
hr x SV
CO is ____ related to area under the curve
inversely
so poor CO has ___ area under the curve
big
dicrotic notch represents
aortic valve closing
excessive dampening
underestimated systolic and overestimated diastolic
underdampening
overestimated systolic and underestimated distolic
CVP: a wave
RA contraction
C wave
elevation of cusp of tricuspid
