Test one Flashcards
How much fluid does the pericardium hold?
10-15ml
What is end diastolic volume?
End systolic volume?
Stroke volume? measured as what?
Amount of blood in the ventricle right before contraction
Amount of blood in ventricle after contraction
Amount of blood in mL ejected from the ventricle with one heartbeat ml/beats
What is systemic vascular resistance?
the force opposing the movement of blood
What are the two factors that influence BP?
what is the equation?
CO and SVR
BP+ COx SVR
How to calculate MAP
what do we need in order to perfuse organs?
SBP+2DBP/3
Above 60
What is pulse pressure?
What is normal?
What would an increased pulse pressure indicate?
Decresed?
difference between SBP and DBP
one third difference
exercise, atherosclerosis, of larger arts
heart failure or hypovolemia
What is cardiac output.\?
How is it measured?
How do we calculate it?
What is normal?
The amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one min
measured in L/min
CO+SVx HR
4 to 8 L/min
What is stroke volume?
measured?
Amount of blood pumped by the vent in one beat (ml/beat)
What is cardiac index?
calculate?
Normal?
It adjust the CO to the body size
CO divided by body surface area
2.8-4.2L/min/meter squared L/min/m2
How high can a hr be for a short period of time?
180
What is preload?
the volume of blood in the vents at the end of diastole it determines the amount of stretch placed on myocardial fibers
What can increase preload?
myo infarct, aortic stenosis, hypervolemia
What is after load?
What affects after load?
what happens to the heart if their is high bp
peripheral resistance against which the left vent must pump
size of ventricle, wall tension, arterial bp
Ventricular hypertrophy with no increase in CO or size of chambers so just the mm
What is postprandial hypotension?
Decrease in BP of at least 20mmHg within 75min after eating
What about BP and HR with laying and standing
Should not decrease/increase more than 20
What is a bruit
A buzzing or humming sound over a vessel that is from a narrowed or bulging wall
What is the angle of louis?
Manubrim and sternum it is where the second rib is located
What are the points to listen to the heart and where are they? and what should you hear?
Ape to Man Aortic r 2nd Pulmonic l 2nd Erbs- r3rf s1 and s2 equally Tri- l 5th Matrial-5 midclavicular
what is the best part of the stethoscope to listen to s1 and s2?
The diaphragm because they are high pitched noises
What is s3?
low intensity vibration of vent walls associated with decreased compliance of the vents during filling
What is s4
Low frequency vibration caused by atrial contractions.
4 things about troponin
detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury
peak at 10-24 and can be detected for 10-14 days
It is the biomarker of choice in diagnosis of MI
Creatine kinase (CK)- MB levels and where are they found
Rises in 3-6 hours, peaks in 12-24 hours, returns to baseline within 12-48 hours
Sk mm, Brain, heart
what are the Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) from the atrium
b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) from the ventricles
c-type natriuretic peptide from endothelial and renal epithelial cells.
how do you distinguish between cardiac or respiratory dyspnea?
BNP
Name one thing that would suggest heart fail
N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP)
When diastolic blood pressure increases (e.g., heart failure),
BNP and NT-pro-BNP are released and increase natriuresis (excretion of sodium in the urine).
2 things about CRP
produced by the liver during acute inflammation and elevated is independent risk for CAD
What is Homocysteine
Hcy an amino acid that is produced during protein catabolism from hereditarynor dietary b deficiencies that increases risk of CAD, PVD, and stroke
HDL and cholesterol ratio
how to do it. what is good?
Set up proportion with HDL and Cholesterol and make HDL equal to one and solve.
<3.5-1
