16
Q

How do left ventricular pressure (LVP) compare to aortic pressure (AoP) during VE and VF?

A

Ventricular ejection:
LVP > AoP
(To push blood to flow forward)

Ventricular filling:
LVP < AoP
(To close valve)

17
Q

Write an equation for mean aortic pressure

A

Mean AoP = DP + 1/3 (SP - DP)

= DP + 1/3 (PP)

18
Q

What is pulse pressure?

A

PP = SP - DP

19
Q

What is the aortic pressure at aortic valve closure?

A

AoP @AC = DP + 2/3 (SP - DP)
= DP + 2/3 (PP)
= End systolic pressure (ESP)

20
Q

What is DP on wiggers?

A

Diastolic pressure - when aortic valve opens

@ start of VE

21
Q

What does y descent depict?

A

Blood rushing into ventricle, resulting in drop of pressure of left atrium

22
Q

When can S3 and S4 sounds be heard?

A

Diastole, ventricular filling

Rapid filling = S3

Atrial systole = S4

23
Q

Describe asynchrony of semilunar valve closure

A

Aortic valve closure BEFORE pulmonic closure

This is why during INSPIRATION, two S2 sounds can be distinguished

24
Q

Describe paradoxical splitting of S2 sounds

A

Pulmonic (P2) precedes aortic (A2) component because the aortic part is occurring late

25
Q

When is the time interval for mitral valve closure (S1)?

A

MC occurs when LVP exceeds LAP @ end of ventricular filling

26
Q

What is the time interval for aortic valve opening?

A

AO occurs when LVP exceeds AoP at end of IVC

AKA diastolic pressure (DP)

27
Q

What is the time interval for aortic valve closure (S2)?

A

AC occurs when LVP falls below AoP at end of ventricular ejection

28
Q

What is the time interval for mitral valve opening?

A

MO occurs when LVP falls below LAP at end of IVR

29
Q

How do you calculate ejection fraction?

A
ejection fraction (EF)
= SV/EDV

Typical value is 2/3

30
Q

What are the coordinates for MC (S1) on PV loop?

A

x = LVEDV
Y = LVEDP
31
Q

What are the coordinates for AO on PV loop?

A

At upper right:

32
Q

What are the coordinates for AC (S2) on PV loop?

A

@upper left:

X= LVESV
Y = LVESP = DP + 2/3 (SP-DP)
33
Q

What are the coordinates for MO on PV loop?

A

@ lower left:

X = LVESV
Y = peak of v wave
