The heart pump Nov1 M2 Flashcards
what S1 (1st heart sound) corresponds to
closure of the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) during systole
what S2 corresponds to
closure of seminular valves (aortic and pulmonic) at start of diastole and start of isovolumetric relaxation
seminular valves (2)
aortic and pulmonary valve
S3 corresponds to what
heart sound when ventricular filling at diastole when blood hits the ventricle wal
S3 heard where (2)
individuals with very good diastole or indiv. with heart failure
why hear S3
because vacuum created by ventricle relaxation
ventricle relaxation passive or active
active (ATP dependent). put calcium back in SR
S4 corresponds to what
atrial contraction when pumps blood in stiff ventricle (non compliant)
S4 heard where
abnormal (pathologic) in patients with non compliant ventricle
if had 4 heart sounds, in what order would hear them
S1, S2, S3, S4
pressure volume loop. how to get that
plot left ventricular pressure as a function of ventricular volume
pressure volume loop 1st part (out of 4)
mitral valve opens, ventricle fills slowly (go to right, increase in volume and slight increase in P) until EDV
pressure volume loop 2nd part
isovolumetric contraction. pressure rises but volume stays the same (vertical rise)
pressure volume loop 3rd part
aortic valve opens, ejection, ventricular volume falls to ESV. pressure rises but falls back a little
pressure volume loop 4th part
from ESV, isovolumetric relaxation. vertical drop in P without change in volume. until mitral valves open
why ventr pressure goes up when filling (increasing volume)
bc even though ventricles stretch, limited by pericardial cavity
ESPVR def
end systolic pressure-volume relationship. (P and V relationship in ventricle at end of systole)
ESPVR is an indicator of what
how strong the heart is
ESPVR: what determines the moment when systole ends
is when aortic valve closes (when P aorta = P ventricle)
EDPVR stands for what and what it does
end diastolic pressure-volume relationship. (P ventr as function of ventr. volume during filling of ventricle)
EDPVR shape
follows first part of pressure volume loop and extends a bit higher and further to the right
length-tension relationship or cardiac muscle length-tension cycle: what it is
ventricular muscle tension as a function of muscle length
what curve does cardiac muscle length-tension cycle ressemble and why
the pressure volume loop bc ventricular volume and muscle length are related linearly
how to see stroke volume on a PV loop
right vertical line minus left vertical line (EDV - ESV)
3 determinants of stroke volume
preload, afterload and contractility
preload def and effect
EDV. Greater EDV gives greater muscle contraction (Frank-Starling’s law)
