Hemodynamics Student Review Flashcards
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart per beat is called:
Stroke volume
What is the normal range for stroke volume?
70-100 cc
What is the formula used for calculating stroke volume?
LVOTd^2 x 0.785 x LVOT^TVI
The equation that relates the pressure drop across an area of narrowing is:
Bernoulli equation
Which of the following vessels conducts deoxygenated blood from the peripheral tissues to the heart?
Veins
The simplified Bernoulli equation disregards all of the following factors:
- Flow acceleration
- Proximal velocity
- Viscous friction
The number that may be used to predict when turbulent flow will occur is:
Reynolds
True or False: The factors that affect flow volume (Q) include pressure gradient, tube radius, tube length, and fluid viscosity
True
True or False: According to Poiseuille’s Law, flow volume varies directly with the pressure gradient
True
True or False: According to Poiseuille’s Law, flow volume varies inversely with tube length
True
True or False: A change in tube radius will have the greatest effect on overall flow resistance
True
True or False: As the pressure gradient decreases, flow volume decreases
True
True or False: As fluid viscosity increases, flow volume increases
False
True or False: As tube length increases, flow volume increases
False
A maximum velocity of 2 m/sec is obtained in a patient with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. The peak instantaneous pressure gradient is:
16 mmHg
The formula used to calculate cardiac output by Doppler is:
SV x HR
A maximum velocity of 5 m/sec is obtained across a stenotic aortic valve. The max. peak instantaneous gradient is:
100 mmHg
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute is called:
Cardiac Output
Normal range for cardiac output is:
4-8 L/min
