part one Flashcards
Where does deoxygenated blood go begin the cardiac cycle
into the right atrium
what valve does blood go through to get from the right atrium to the right ventricle
the tricuspid valve
Where does blood go from the right ventricle
through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonic artery
the blood goes from the pulomonic artery to the
lungs to become oxygenated then back to the heart through the pulmonary veins
where does the pulmonary veins drain
into the left atrium
the blood moves from the left atrium through the
mitral valve into the left ventricle
from the left ventricle the blood goes
through the aortic valve into the aorta to circulate
describe systole
heart contraction. AO valve opens to allow blood to pass from the LV
what marks the end of systole
ao valve closure
when will ventricles be largest
at end diastole
what happens during diastole
MV opens to allow blood to go from the LA to the LV
what is end diastole used to calculate
stroke volume, preload, and EF
what marks the end of diastole
MV closure
What doe the X and Y axis represent on the Wiggers diagram
x= time y= pressures
what pressures are seen on the wiggers diagram
aortic, LV, and LA
what is ventricular preload
stretching of the cardiac muscle before contraction. greater the load = greater force of contraction
higher end diastolic volume= higher preload
what can ventricular preload be increased by
ventricular systolic failure, AS, AR,PS, and PI
ventricular preload can be decreased by
venous BP , AFIB, high HR, inflow stenosis (mitral and tricuspid), and ventricular diastolic failure
what is afterload
the resistance that the ventricle has to pump against
increase in afterload =
increase in end systolic volume and decrease in stroke volume
what does afterload determine
the amount of tension the myocardium has to generate
what increases afterload
htn,AS,PS, ventricular dilation, AO pressure, systemic vascular resistance
What is phase one of the cardiac cycle
ventricular filling. pressure in the atria increases causing atrial systole= blood moves from the atria to the ventricles
what valves are open and closed dureing phase one
MV and TV are open. AoV and PV are closed
what is phase 2 of the cardiac cycles
isovolumetric contraction, early systole, blood in the ventricles
what is the pressure like during phase 2
pressure of the ventricles is higher that that of the atria but less than the arteries on the other side of the AoV and PV
The first heart sound happens
during phase 2 when the atroventricular valves close (mv/tv)
Isovolumetric
all valves are closed and the volume of blood is constant
What is phase three of the cardiac cycle
ventricular ejection
what is phase three as far as systole/diasotle
ventricular systole
what is pressure like during the third phase
ventricular pressure increases until it exceeds the aorta or pulmonary trunk, then the semilunar valves open
what are the semilunar valves
pulmonary and aortic
when does ejection phase end
after the blood goes through the AoV and PV and into circulation. It officially ends when the AoV snaps shut
when is the second heart sound
when the AoV snaps shut
what is the end systolic volume
blood remaining in the LV after ejection
what is phase four of the cardiac cycle
isovolumetric relaxation
isovolumetric relaxation is the
beginning of diastole
what is the pressure like during phase four
semilunar valves are open so the pressure in the ventricles decreases as blood goes through them, causing the eventual close
isovolumetric relaxation can be used for
indicating diastolic dysfunction
Diastole in the cardiac cycle
w/ ventricular relaxation the pressure in the ventricles is less than the atria causes the atrioventricular valves to open starting the cycle over
what is the bernoulli equation for pressure estimation
P=4v2^2
p= pressure across the valve
v2=distal velocity
what is the continuity equation used for
calculate aortic valve area (effective orifice area)
General rule for the continuity equation
blood going into a chamber must be equal to the amount flowing out of the same chamber
continuity equation states that velocity of blood is inversely related to
the area
what is the continuity equation
a2=a1xv1/v2
or
a1xv1=a2xv2
What is the most common valvular disease in the US
aortic stenosis
about half of AS patients have
a bicuspid valve
What velocities to you need for an aortic valve area
prestenotic (in LV outflow just below the AoV)
in the stenotic valve
and lv outflow tract diameter
which velocity do you use for the AVA
The highest most accurate
Aortic valve ranges
normal = 3.0-4.0cm
mild >1.5cm
moderate 1.5-1.0cm
severe <1.0 m
LVOT assessment
v1- prestenotic velocity is calculated using PW lvot doppler measurements
Coarctation
narrowing of the thoracic aorta, seen in marfans patients
post stenotic dilatation may be seen
in AS patients
anuerysm measurment
