Slide set 1 Flashcards
Thoracic pressure changes usually associated with
Increased RR
What type of things can change Total blood volume
Bleed, dehydration, blood donations
Increased diastolic pressure equals
Lower compliance
What Does PDA feed
Part of septum
AV valves is closed during what phase
Systole
Is Ejection fraction a direct measurement
NO
What is afterload related to
Peripheral vascular resistance
SA node PsNS stimulation causes
decreased HR
Right ventricle transfers deoxy blood to where via what valve
Pulmonary system - Pulmonic valve
What is ventricle irritability esentially referring to
Arrythmia
What are ostia
Small openings of the L-R coronary arteries
Do we have control over Frank starling mechanism of compensation?
No
What stimulation can cause ventricle irritability
Sympathetic innervation
Purpose of papillary muscles
Keeps orifice closed during systle and keeps them from regurging
What connects AV valves to ventricles
Paillary muscles and chordae tendinae
What is the primary measurement of heart fx
Cardiac Output (ejection fraction)
A dilated heart can and cants
Can accept more volume but cant push out as much
Afterload is
the force which the LV must pump against
Blood supply of heart (4)
RCA, LAD, LCX, PDA
Arterial baroreceptors causes the heart rate to
Decrease
How many papillary chordae are in L-Vent
2 (sheets of fiber)
Ventricular dilation is caused by
Chronic high preload or Chronic increase in Left EDV/EDP
Atrial kick represents
Both atria contracting at the end of diastole
L-atrium transfers O2 blood to L-Ventricle via what valve
Mitral valve
What is normal ejection fraction
55-75%
EF equals
SV divided by EDV
Lower end diastolic pressure equals
More compliance
L-Vent transfers O2 blood out into the body via what valve
Aortic valve
What 3 mechanisms contribute to HR reg
ANS Brainbridge reflex to atrial stretch Thoracic pressures with respiration and venous return
What increases myocardial contractility (3)
Adrenergic nervous system Catecholamines POS inotropic drugs
Chronic stimulation of the SNS results in
Down regulation of adrenergic receptors causing less of an effect
Another name for mitral valve is
Bicuspid valve
S4 occurs just before what heart sound
S1
Ventricular dilation initially does what to CO but then changes
Initally increases CO (per Frank Starling) but then decreases CO eventually
What does the RCA feed
Inferior wall of left ventricle Right atrium - ventricle Part of septum SA (Most patients) and AV node PDA (Right dom flow)
SympatheticNS originates where
Thoracic 1-5 ganglia
Right ventricle ejects deoxy blood into pulmonary system during what phase
Systole
What factors determine afterload
Aortic pressure Volume of the ventricular cavity to include wall thickness
Right atria accepts deoxygenated blood from
SVC, IVC, and Coronary sinus
What does the LAD feed
Part of septum Bundle branches Bulk of left ventricle
AV valves is open during what phase
Diastole
The volume and thickness of ventricular cavity is follows whatprinciple
The law of laplace
A hypertrophy heart can and cants
Can push out better but can’t accept as much volume
How many cusps do Semilunar valves have
3 cusps
Atria PsNS stimulation causes
decreased contractility
After all Coronary artery feed zones established what supplies the rest of the heart?
RCA and LCX (generally)
What is the big player of CO
Left Ventricle
