Jarvis Chapter 19 Heart and Neck Vessels Flashcards
The venous return that builds during diastole. It’s the length to which the ventricular muscle is stretched at the end of diastole just before contraction.
Preload
All Heart Sounds are described by what?
- Frequency (pitch)
- Intensity (loudness)
- Duration
- Timing
The greater the stretch, the stronger is the heart’s contraction. This increased contractility results in an increased volume of blood ejected (Increased SV)
Frank-Starling Law
The opposing pressure the ventricle must generate to open the aortic valve against the higher aortic pressure. It’s the resistance against which the ventricle must pump its blood
Afterload
Risk Factors for CAD
- Elevated cholesterol
- Elevated B/P
- Blood sugar levels above 130mg/dl or know DM
- Obesity
- Cigarette smoking
- Low activity Level
- Length of any hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women
The Intensity of S1 depends on what factors?
- Position of AV valve at the start of systole
- Structure of the valve leaflets
- How quickly pressure rises in the ventricles
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Persistence of the channel joining left pulmonary artery to aorta. This is normal in the fetus and usually closes spontaneously within hours of birth
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Abnormal opening in the atrial septum, resulting usually in left-to-right shunt and causing large increase in pulmonary blood flow
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Abnormal opening in the septum between the ventricles, usually in the subaortic area. The size and exact position vary considerably
Tetralogy of Fallot 4 components:
- RV outflow stenosis
- VSD
- RV hypertrophy
- Overriding aorta
Pulmonic Stenosis
Calcification of pulmonic valve restricts forward flow of blood
Mitral Regurgitation
Stream of blood regurgitates back into LA during systole through incompetent mitral valve. In diastole, blood passes back into LV again along with new flow; results in LV dilation and hypertrophy
Tricuspid Regurgitation
Backflow of blood through incompetent tricuspid valve into RA
Mitral Stenosis
Calcified mitral valve will not open properly, impedes forward flow of blood into LV during diastole. Results in LA enlarged and LA pressure increased
Pulmonic Regurgitation
Backflow of blood through incompetent pulmonic valve, from pulmonary artery to RV
Midsystolic Ejection Murmurs
Due to forward flow through SL valves
Pansystolic Regurgitant Murmurs
Due to backward flow of blood from area of higher pressure to one of lower pressure
Diastolic Rumbles of AV Valves
Filling murmurs at low pressures, best heard with bell lightly touching the skin
Early Diastolic Murmurs
Due to SL valve incompetence
Occurs with closure of the AV Valves and thus signals the beginning of systole. Loudest at the Apex of the Heart
1st Heart Sound (S1)
Occurs with the closure of the SL valves and signals the end of systole. Loudest at the Base of the Heart
2nd Heart Sound (S2)
Empty unoxygenated blood directly into the superior vena cava.
Jugular Veins
Give info about activity on the right side of the heart. Specifically, they reflect filling pressure and volume changes.
Jugular Veins
Occurs when the heart’s own blood supply cannot keep up with metabolic demand.
