Lecture 11: Cardiac Cycle and Heart Sounds Flashcards
Does a murmur always indicate that there is a problem or an underlying dz?
No, not always.
If a patient is diagnosed with a heart murmur, what should you do next?
Conduct an electrocardiogram
Systole corresponds with:
Contraction/relaxation
Depolarization/ repolarization
Contraction
Depolarization
Diastole corresponds with:
Contraction/relaxation
Depolarization/ repolarization
Relaxation
Repolarization
What is the difference between systolic BP and diastolic BP?
Systolic BP–> the pressure exerted on the artery when the heart contracts
Diastolic BP–> the pressure on the artery when the heart is at rest
In the cardiac cycle, do the electrical and mechanical activity occur at the same time?
Yes
Atrial systole occurs during?
P wave
Atrial diastole occurs during?
PR interval
—-slow conduction through the AV node—
Ventricular Systole occurs during?
QRS complex
(which is also atrial diastole and repolarization)
Late ventricular systole occurs during?
ST segment
Ventricular diastole (repolarization) occurs during?
T wave
The lub sound or S1 comes from?
AV valves closing
The dub sound or S2 comes from?
Semilunar valves closing
S3 sounds, which can sounds like Ken-tuckee occurs from?
blood filling the relaxed and empty ventricle (ventricular filling)
S4 sounds, which present as Tenness-ee occur from?
atrial filling from high pressure in SVC (occurs before S1)
