21
Q

What opposes coronary perfusion

A

Wall pressures

22
Q

Calcified or poor fitting aortic valves cause

A

decreased coronary perfusion

23
Q

What is the purpose of the cardiac cartilaginous ring

A

Electric insulation between the atria and ventricles

24
Q

The cardiac cartilage has a tendency to rattle during

A

Filling/diastole

25
Q

Pedi hearts are more resistant to? How do they compensate?

A

Increases in volume; compensate through increasing HR

26
Q

Why do we have more mitral valve problems than tricuspid valve issues?

A

Higher intraventricular pressures on left side

27
Q

The LCA splits into

A

The left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery

28
Q

The RCA feeds into the

A

posterior descending artery in 85% of people

29
Q

15% of people have a posterior descending artery that comes off the

A

LCA

30
Q

Codominance of the coronary arteries occurs when

A

There is an anastomosis or connection between the RCA and LCA (circumflex)

31
Q

Where do you listen to the aortic valve

A

2nd ICS on the right side of the sternum

32
Q

Where do you listen to the pulmonic valve

A

2nd ICS on left side of the sternum

33
Q

Where do you listen to the tricuspid valve

A

5th ICS on the left side of the sternum

34
Q

Where do you listen to the mitral valve

A

5th ICS left side of the sternum, midclavicular

35
Q

Longest heart sound? How long is it?

A

1st heart sound; 0.14s

36
Q

The first heart sound is

A

the closure of AV valves; low pitched

37
Q

The second heart sound is

A

the closure of the aortic valve; high pitched

38
Q

What is physiologic splitting of heart sounds

A

Occurs when the aortic valve shuts first and then the pulmonic valve; may be loudest during inspiration - inspiration causes a drop in afterload and pulmonary arterial pressures, causing the pulmonic valve to close slower

39
Q

Frequency is measure in ___? How can we calculate it?

A

Hz or kHz; Freq = number of oscillations over 1s

40
Q

What is the normal range of hearing in Hz?

A

20-20000

41
Q

The third heart sound is

A

The rattling of cartilage during filling (end of rapid filling typically)

42
Q

If we could hear it, the fourth heart sound may be

A

atrial kick due to the pushing of extra blood into the ventricle

43
Q

Aortic stenosis would present as what type of murmur? Why?

A

Systolic; Ejection of blood against a noncompliant valve in the aorta

44
Q

Mitral stenosis would present as what type of murmur? Why?

A

Diastolic; heard at the end of diastole d/t poor filling of the left ventricle

45
Q

Mitral regurgitation would present as what type of murmur? Why?

A

Systolic; during ejection, blood is moving backwards d/t high ventricular pressures

46
Q

Aortic regurgitation would present as what type of murmur? Why?

A

Diastolic; during filling, aortic pressure is higher than ventricular filling and leads to increased filling of LV during diastole

47
Q

What is the loudest murmur?

A

Aortic stenosis

48
Q

Patent ductus arteriosus has a murmur that lasts the whole cardiac cycle. When is it the loudest? Why?

A

During systole d/t shunting of blood from aorta to pulmonary artery

49
Q

A high delta P of aortic and ventricular pressures indicates

A

Higher amount of coronary artery perfusion

50
Q

When does retrograde perfusion of the coronary arteries occur? Why?

A

During the beginning of systole; intraventricular pressures exceed aortic pressure

51
Q

In aortic stenosis, the body may compensate for decreased SV by raising heart rate. What ways does this hurt the coronary arteries?

A

Decreased time spend in diastole when we already have increased wall pressures
