Lab 5: Intro to Cardio Vasc Phys Flashcards
What causes the heart sounds
lubdub
-turbulent backwash of blood in heart chambers and large arteires which follow the closure of the heart valves
LUB: closure of atrioventricular (AV) valves at the beginning of ventricular systole
-when ventricles contract, backflow against valves cause them to close and bulge backwards towards atria, and elastic ventricles cause blood to backsurge to ventricles, which make the noise
DUB:
closure of semilunar values (aortic vakve on left, pulmonary on right) after ventricular systole
-again, backsurging blood revertebrate against walls and make vibrations in the pulmonary artery and aorta
Where to place stethescope to hear heart sounds LUB
5th left intercostal space on left margin of sternum (tricuspid area)_
Where is your radial pulse? Where is your carotid pulse
on wrist, on neck
When is carotid pulse heard, when is radial pulse
Carotid: heard after the first heart sound, because this carotid artery is closer to heart so there is minimal delay
Radial: felt slightly after the carotid becaiuse this has an additional distanc eit must trvel from aorta to arm
where to hear heart sound DUB
2nd left or right intercostal space
Blood presure determination
using ausculatory method
-use sphygmomanometer to hear the appearance and disapearence of Korotokoff sounds from the brachial artery
what is the firstkorotokoff sound:
-blood rushing back thru constricted artery with each systole (contraction) of the heart
What is systolic pressure:
pressure of the cuff when thefirst korotokoff sound is heard
when is second korotokoff sond heard:
-when there isa disapearance of the rushing because it reaches equilibrium withdiastolic pressure and blood flow normalnow
What is dyostolic pressure
-pressure of cuff when sound disapeears (2nd korotokoff sound)
what does the sphygmomanometer constist of
compression bag surrounded by cuff (toapply pressure to arm)
inflating bukb for creating pressure
manometer to measure pressure
a valve which can be used to delflate pressure in controlled manner
Ausculatory method steps
- Subject sits and cuff applied just (2-3cm) above elbow, arrow on cuff(or rubber tube) should be over brachial artery
2.Place sthesthecope over aretey on part just under elbow
- Pump cuff to 140 mmHg rapidly, then release at 2-3mmHg per heartbeat until a sound is heard, SYSTOLIC PRESURE
4.
Systolic pressure:
DIasoltic pressure represents:
represents work done by left ventricle to overcome resistance of entire circ system
represents the condition of the arteryies bc theis is min pressure they are sbjecteive to
what is high blood pressure
160/95 mm of Hg, more thant 3 times. aday its higher than this
Pulse pressure meaning and calculation
difference in systolic and diastolic pressure
=Sys-dia
Cardiac output and eqn
the measure of how well the heart is delivering blood to circ system
what causes it to be reduced:
-diseases like hypertension, cardiomyopathy, heart faikeure
what causes it to be increase:]
-diseases like infection and sepsis
EQN
cardiac output (Liters of blood ejected from left ventricle in a min)= (heart rate)(stroke volume)
Q=HRxSV
-increases due to increase in heart rate (60-180)
SV
Stroke volume
EDV-ESV
(end di volume -end sys)
usually 70-120ml (1.7 factor)
OR calculated by
SV=101-(0.50xsyspressure)-(1.09xDiaP)-(.61xAge)
What is cardiac output regulated by
1)O2 demand
-as rate of metabolsim increases, demand for o2 increases and cardiac output increases
2)Change in Circ System(dia of vessels)
-vasoconstrictors/vasodialators
-ie if vasoconstrict are present in systm, diameter of vessels decreaess so increased resistance in vessels and system so decreased cardiac output
-changes mediated thru symp and parasymp nervous system
3)Breathing
-affects intrathoraic pressure
-during inhalation this intrathoraic pressure decreases, allowing ventricles of heart to fill more during diastole (so INCREASES CARDIAC OUTPUT)
change in cardiac output in response to breathing is known as
stroke volume variation
Medical tools to determine cardiac output
MRI, Doppler Ultrasound, Impedance Cardiigraphy, thermodilution techniques
