VMED 152 GICANA Flashcards
prevents backflow of regurgitation from LV to the LA
mitral valve
Volume entering ventricles
preload
the force that opposes ejection of blood into the peripheral arterial system, of which arterial blood pressure is the primary factor
afterload
volume of blood or hydrostatic pressure within the ventricles at the end of the diastole
preload
Intrinsic ability of the myocardium to generate force to eject blood
contractility
this is affected by the venous returns and Filling Time
preload
Increased pressure leads to ventricular hypertrophy
LaPlace
Increase in the walls of the heart but no increase or changes in the diameter of the chambers
concentric hypertrophy
Inner Diameter of the chambers
Wall stretch without increase in myocytes
eccentric changes
Pathologically speaking, ______refers to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is common in cats
concentric hypertrophy
“Dilated cardiomyopathy” common in dogs
eccentric hypertrophy
Gold standard to describe and diagnose DMVD (?) in the clinical practice
ECG
honking cough is best diagnosed with
thoracic radiograph
