Q

What is happening at A, B, C and D

A

A - Mitral valve closes - Inital snap back of AV valve when pressure in the ventricle rises above pressure in the atrium

B - Aortic/ pulmonary/semi-lunar valve opens

C - Aortic/ pulmonary/semi-lunar valve closes

D - Mitral valve opens becuase pressure in the atrium is greater than that of the ventricle

Q

What is the small rise in pressure between the aortic valve closing and the mitral valve opening because of?

A

It is known as the dicrotic notch, small bounce in pressure due to the aortic valve closing

Q

What is happening at stages A, B, C and D?

A

A - mitral valve opens

B - Mitral valve relaxes - pressure starts rising because the ventricle starts to relax

C - Aortic valve opens opens becuase pressure in the ventricle is greater than that of the aorta (end diastolic volume)

D - aortic valve closes – End systolic volume

Q

What are average values for EDV and ESV?

A

EDV = 140 ml

ESV = 60 ml

Stroke volume is therefore about 80 ml

Q

What is meant by ejection fraction?

A

Stroke volume divided by EDV, usually around 2/3, unhealthy if less than that
