25
Q

What is the function of the heart valves?

A

Preventing the back flow of blood

26
Q

What are our two types of heart valves?

A

We have two types of valves which are AV (atrioventricular) and semilunar.

27
Q

How many valves do we have in the heart?

A

4

28
Q

Where are the AV valves located?

A

The AV valves exist between the atria and ventricles

29
Q

When do the AV valves open?

A

When pressure in the atria exceeds that of the ventricle.

30
Q

When do the AV valves close?

A

When the pressure of the ventricles are filled and pressure increases, the AV valve closes.

31
Q

What is the first heart sound?

A

Closure of AV valves (M1-T1)
Low, long sound (lub)

32
Q

Where are the semilunar valves?

A

The semilunar valves exist between ventricle and either the aorta or pulmonary artery (depending on what side of the heart)

33
Q

When do the semilunar valves open?

A

The semilunar valves open when pressure in the ventricle exceeds the aorta or pulmonary artery.

34
Q

When do the semilunar valves close?

A

When ventricular decreases below aortic (or pulmonary artery) pressure, the semilunar valves shut

35
Q

What are the left ventricular volumes (at rest)?

A

End-diastolic volume (EDV) 130 ml
End-systolic volume (ESV) 60 ml
Stroke volume (SV): EDV-ESV 70 ml
Ejection fraction is: 55 - 60%

36
Q

What is the difference in pressure between the left and right sides of the heart?

A

RV and pulmonary artery (PA) pressure are
lower than LV pressure and aortic pressure

37
Q

What is the difference in resistance between the left (systemic) and right (pulmonary) sides of the heart?

A

Pulmonary resistance is lower than total peripheral resistance (systemic circulation)

38
Q

What system does the left side of the heart send blood to?

A

Systemic circuit

39
Q

What system does the right side of the heart send blood to?

A

Pulmonary circuit

40
Q

What is the RV and PA pressures (at rest)?

A

Diastole Systole
RV pressure 0/1 25 mmHg
PA pressure 8 25 mmHg

41
Q

What is the second heart sound?

A

Closure of semilunar valves (A2-P2)
Short, high pitch (dub)

42
Q

What is the third heart sound?

A

Passive ventricular filling, early diastole
Heard in the young

43
Q

What is the fourth heart sound?

A

Ventricular filling following atrial contraction
Reduced ventricular compliance

44
Q

What are the effects of heart rate on cardiac cycle?

A

When we increase heart rate, the durations of diastole and systole decrease. However, although both events decrease, diastole shortens the most.
The higher the heart rate, the faster the filling and ejection of blood but SV stay constant.

45
Q

What event occurs during the P Wave in ECG?

A

P Wave: Atrial depolarisation precedes atrial contraction

46
Q

What event occurs during the QRS complex in ECG?

A

QRS Complex: Ventricular depolarisation
precedes ventricular contraction

47
Q

What event occurs during the T Wave in ECG?

A

T Wave: Ventricular repolarisation/Ventricular relaxation

48
Q

What is avg HR and cardiac at rest?

A

60bpm, cardiac cycle 1s

49
Q

What are the timings of diastole and systole at rest?

A

Diastole: 0.66 s 2/3 cardiac cycle
Systole: 0.34 s 1/3 cardiac cycle

50
Q

What are the timings of diastole and systole at max HR?

A

Diastole: 0.13 s 1/3 cardiac cycle
Systole: 0.20 s 2/3 cardiac cycle

51
Q

What happens with the duration of systole and diastole when heart rate increases?
A. Systole and diastole shorten equally
B. Systole stays constant, and only diastole shortens
C. Only systole shortens, and diastole stays constant
D. Both shorten, with diastole more than systole

A

D. Both shorten, with diastole more than systole
