Slide set 3 Flashcards
Lack of sympathetic tone or heart failure would do what to a CO curve?
Right shift and decreased plateau
Increase in sympathetic stimulation or increased pumping effectiveness will cause what in a CO curve?
Left shift and increased plateau
An increase in SVR also causes an increase in
RVR
SVR is also
Afterload
An increased preload will show what variables on the PV loop
Increased SV and EDV; ESV stays the same
A decreased preload will show what variables on the PV loop
Decreased SV and EDV; ESV stays the same
Increased afterload will show what variables on the PV loop
Decreased ejection time and SV; increased time spent in phase II; increased ESV; EDV remains the same
Decrease afterload will show what variables on the PV loop
More time spent in ejection; Increased SV and reduced ESV
Contractility is denoted by what on the PV loop
Upper left hand corner
Increased contractility will show what on the PV loop
Steeper slope with leftward loop shift; increased SV and decreased ESV
Decreased contractility will show what on the PV loop
Reduced slope; reduced SV and increased ESV
What is happening during mitral regurgitation
Any time the pressure is higher in the ventricle than the left atria, blood is backflowing
Why is EF not a good diagnostic for MR
SV is increased
A temporary enhanced filling will eventually cause ______ in MR
eccentric hypertrophy over time
Mild MR
<30 mL backflow
Moderate MR
30-60 mL regurg flow
Severe MR
> 60 mL regurg flow
IABP inflates during
Diastole to help push blood down the atria and perfuse the CAs
IABP deflates during
Systole to create an artificially low afterload
What medications might we give to someone with MR and what considerations should we have
Afterload reducers; caution in patients with CAD and they may have trouble perfusing the CAs
We want to decrease the ________ to reduce regurgitant flow in MR
Delta P
Time spent in ______ can increase mitral regurgitant flow. To combat this we would allow
Systole; permissive slight tacycardia
Mitral regurgitation will show what on a PV loop
Increased SV and EDV; decreased ESV; longer ejection time
Mitral stenosis will show what on a PV loop
Lower SV, EDV, and ESV; left shift - similar to decreased preload
