Q

What does isovolumetric contraction mean?

A

Ventr. contract but not pressure not enough to open Semi lunar valves so volume is the same

Q

What is Mean arterial pressure ? MAP

A

Diastolic pressure + 1/3 * Pulse pressure

17
Q

What is Stroke volume? SV

A

End diastolic volume minus end systolic volume

18
Q

What is ejection fraction ? EF

A

SV/ EDV

19
Q

What is ejection fraction?

A

vol of blood ejected in 1 beat: vol of blood prior to ejection

20
Q

What is EF is 50%?

A

every heart beat 50% of blood is ejected from heaert

21
Q

What is lub sound

A

AV Valves closing

22
Q

What is dub sound?

A

pulmonary and semi lunar valves closing

23
Q

How are sounds formed ?

A

from laminar to turbulent flow

24
Q

What is coronary artery disease?

A

accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque

25
Q

what does Coronary artery disease lead to?

A

myocardial infarction

angina

26
Q

What are risk factors for CAD?= DISCPOG

A
Diabetes
Inactive
Smoking
Cholesterol
Blood pressure
obesity
Genes
27
Q

What are procedures for CAD?

A

Streptokinase- break blood clots
angioplasty- stent
Bypass graft- use saphenous vein from leg to bypass artery

28
Q

What is congenital heart disease?

A

Acyanotic

Cyanotic

29
Q

What is acyanotic ?

A

normal level of 02#

30
Q

What is cyanotic?

A

low 02 so dark blood

31
Q

What is septal defects?

A

blood flow from left to right of heart so blood mix

32
Q

What is coarctation of aorta?

A

narrow aorta so blood pressure rises

33
Q

What is patent ductus arteriosus?

A

blood from aorta mix with de02 blood from pulmonary artery

34
Q

What is characteristic of patent ductus arteriosus?

A

vessel between aorta and pulmonary artery so increase aortic trunk blood pressure
