Lab quiz #5 Flashcards
blood pressure =
cardiac output (Q) x total peripheral resistance (TPR)
flow x resistance =
pressure
Q =
SV x HR
Increased Q or TPR =
increased blood pressure
decreased Q or TPR =
decreased blood pressure
two factors influencing blood pressure:
- capacitance
- compliance
resistance to flow or TPR
- atherosclerosis
- arteriosclerosis
capacitance
distensibility of the vessels (expand to accept blood)
- decreases with age
compliance
Two phases of cardiac cycle:
- systole
- diastole
work phase of cardiac cycle
systole (SBP)
rest/fill phase of cardiac cycle
diastole (DBP)
Blood pressure is written as _ over _
- 120 mm Hg/80 mm Hg
SBP/DBP
- primary, clinical: determine risk of CVD or stroke
- establish a baseline for health interventions
- establish a baseline to compare the effect of exercise on BP
- looking at different types, intensities, and durations
reasons to measure blood pressure
Two methods of measuring blood pressure:
- invasive
- non-invasive
_ method for measuring BP:
- more accurate
- expensive
- elaborate
- can be traumatic
invasive
invasive method for measuring BP:
- _ : catheter inserted into an artery; pressure transducer attached to measure BP
flow transducer
_ method for measuring BP:
- ultrasound doppler/automated
- cuff manometry – sphygmomanometer (“cuff method”)
non-invasive
use of a stethoscope to auscultate _ (“auscultatory method”)
- 0.85 correlation with flow transducer
korotkoff sounds
