Week 7 Flashcards
S1
ventricular contraction
closure of Tricuspid and Mitral valves
time it with carotid pulse to identify
S2
Closure of Aortic and Pulmonic valves
ventricular filling
S3
ventricular filling may cause this
S4
May be produced by atrial contractions
sinus 6 syndrome
malfunction of the sinus node
may cause arrhythmia
systole
contraction
diastole
relaxation
lipid profile screening
every 5 years starting at age 20
CHADS2 scores
Afib & stroke risk
split S1
Usually normal,
best heard in tricuspid area
split S2
physiologic if it resolves with deep expiration
pediatric chest pain
usually musculoskeletal, pleuritic, GI
thrill
turbulent blood flow
coarction of aorta
pulses stronger in upper extremities than lower extremities
Chest XR
size, shape, congestion
ECG
identify rate, rhythm,
echo
shows congenital defects
Screening for LVH
increases risk for sudden cardiac death
would need echocardiogram for every patient
Hypertension screening
start at age 3
Cyanotic Heart Disease
Pulmonary artery stenosis Pulmonary atresia Tetralogy of fallot Tricuspid atresia truncus arteriosus hypoplastic L heart syndrome transposition of great arteries
