→ cardiac tamponade → heart cannot fill due to compression = decreased output

→ infection by Tuberculosis (TB): BCG vaccine prevents pulmonary TB in infants (weans over time)

58
Q

Complications of Ventricular Hypertrophy

A

Ventricular Hypertrophy (enlarged heart) → less space to pump blood → LV fails

→ back flow (regurgitation) to LA → LA fails (O2 rich blood dumps into LA from pulmonary veins)

→ blood goes backward into lungs → RV fail → Hepatomegaly + JVD

99
Q

A

stenotic

100
Q

Factors affecting S1

A

-structural integrity of valve → inadequate joining of mitral valve (SOFT S1) or loss of leaflet tissue (SOFT S1)

-velocity of valve closure → position of mitral valve can be altered by atrial and ventricular systole

-status of ventricular contraction → increased myocardial contractility = increased LV pressure [exercise, high output state] (LOUD S1) or decreased contractility due to M.I. or myocarditis (SOFT S1)

-heart rate → tachycardia (LOUD S1) [shorter PR interval, wide valves due to short diastole increase myocardial contractility

-transmission characteristics → obesity, emphysema, pericardial effusion decreases intensity of auscultory events, thin chest wall increases intensity

101
Q

Conditions causing LOUD S1

A
  • mitral stenosis
  • mitral valve prolapse
  • exercise
  • tricuspid stenosis
  • atrial septal defect
  • anomalous pulmonary venous connection with increased tricuspid flow
102
Q

Mitral Stenosis

A

LOUD S1

increased L arterial pressure, mitral valve trying to close, flaps are thicker, turbulent blood flow due to narrow space

103
Q

Mitral Valve Prolapse

A

LOUD S1

increases regurgitation

104
Q

Exercise

A

LOUD S1

105
Q

Tricuspid Stenosis

A

LOUD S1

thickened tricuspid leaflets, increased turbulence (narrow)

106
Q

Atrial Septal Defect

A

LOUD S1

exists in foramen ovale during fetal development

normal conditions: shunt blood to RA → LA

hole doesn’t close: increased volume to RA → increased flow across pulmonic valve

107
Q

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection w/ Increased Tricuspid Flow

A

PV drains blood to RA instead of LA → mixes with deoxygenated blood → increased volume and increased pressure on tricuspid

108
Q

Conditions causing SOFT S1

A
  • mitral regurgitation
  • calcific mitral stenosis (immobile mitral valve)
  • severe atrial regurgitation
  • left bundle branch block (LBBB) (decreased LV contractility)

117
Q

118
Q

122
Q

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

A

commonly caused by congenital defect; hole in the heart between LV + RV that may never be identified

  • undiagnosed → gets louder w/ age
  • LV shunts blood to RV, increasing RV pressure
  • may be associated w/ other defects: Tetralogy of Fallot
123
Q

VSD Complications

A

LV shunts blood to RV, increasing RV pressure

RV hypertrophy → R side failure

regurgitation in R side causes blood to pool in venous system

L side oxygen poor → cyanosis

124

132
Q

Flow of Fetal Blood Circulation:

A
  1. Oxygenated / nutrient rich blood from PLACENTA travel through UMBILICAL VEIN
  2. UMBILICAL VEIN passes through the LIVER (still oxygenated) and combines with IVC (deoxygenated)
  3. Mixed blood enters the heart through RA
  4. SVC brings deoxygenated blood to RA, pumping from RA to RV to PULMONARY TRUNK to DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS then DESCENDING AORTA
  5. Some mixed blood enters RV but most enters LA through FORAMEN OVALE
  6. LA pumps to LV
  7. LV pumps to AORTA
  8. Any blood that entered the PULMONARY TRUNK instead of FORAMEN OVALE or RV can re-enter the AORTA through the DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
  9. ILLIAC ARTERIES are mostly now deoxygenated after blood moves through tissues and returns to UMBILICAL VEIN for oxygenation
