zatchot CVS Flashcards
Basic complaints of CVS
- Pain: - coronarogenic (ischaemic) – angina pectoris
- non-coronarogenic - cardialgia
*Interruptions in the work of the heart and palpitation
*Shortness of breath (dyspnea), suffocation
*Edema
*Coughing, hemoptysis
*Headache
*Dizziness, flickering flies before the eyes
*Syncope
explain the Edema duo to CVS dieses
- Location :ankles, shins, feet (at the greatest distance from the heart)
- Quality: dense (elastic), cyanotic, with the formation of a hole (pitting edema),
symmetric - Quantity/Intense :legs only (ankles, shins) or ascites too, etc
- Chronology: constant, frequency (once, twice (or more) per week/month), rare arising / increasing in the evening
- Aggravating factors: increase in the amount of fluid consumed during the day, exercise, long standing position,
- Alleviating factors : taking medications (effectiveness of drug therapy), resting (horizontal position with legs raised), stop of exercise
- Associated manifestations : cough and shortness of breath, a violation of the color and integrity of the skin over edema
explain the Dizziness and Syncope
1-Dizziness, flickering flies before the eyes
- permanent or periodic
- relationship with changes in body
position, interruptions in the work of the
heart, relationship with the rise or fall of
blood pressure
2-Syncope
- frequency of occurrence
- aggravating-alleviating factors:
stuffy room, unpleasant odors,
stress, menses, interruptions in the
work of the heart
explain the Dizziness and Syncope
1-Dizziness, flickering flies before the eyes
- permanent or periodic
- relationship with changes in body
position, interruptions in the work of the
heart, relationship with the rise or fall of
blood pressure
2-Syncope
- frequency of occurrence
- aggravating-alleviating factors:
stuffy room, unpleasant odors,
stress, menses, interruptions in the
work of the heart
explain the Skin covers
1-Colors of skin
- coffee with milk
- pale
- acrocyanosis
Skin rashes and formations :
1-xanthoma 2-trophic changes 3-acrocyanosis
explain the Apex beat
*Location in the V intercostal space, 1,5 cm medial to the
mediaclavicular line
*Mechanism: due to the impact of the apex of the heart on
the chest wall
*Pathology: “Negative push” - with adhesive
(constrictive) percarditis
explain the Shift of apex beat
1-Left shift:
§ On the left side (3-4 см)
§ Dilation and hypertrophy of LV
§ Dilation of RV
§ Fluid or air in right pleural cavity
2-Right shift:
§ Lying on the right side (1-1,5 см)
§ Pleuro-pericardial commissures
3-Disapperas :
§Left-sided hydrothorax
§Hydropericardium
4-Negative: (constrictive pericarditis)
explain the Cardiac (right ventricular) beat
*Location in the III -
4th intercostal space to the left of the sternum extends to the epigastric region
*Mechanism - reduction of enlarged right ventricle
explain the Epigastric pulsation
*Elevation and lowering of the anterior abdominal wall in the epigastric region, synchronous to the contractions of the heart
*Mechanism:
- pulsation of the heart (right ventricle)
- pulsation of the abdominal aorta
- pulsation of enlarged liver
reasons of Pulsation due to contractions of the
abdominal aorta
*Location - below the xiphoid process, with deep inspiration visible worse
*Appears when:
- exhaustion;
- asthenic type of constitution;
- relaxed abdominal wall;
- omission of internal organs;
- aneurysm of the abdominal aorta
explain the Arterial pulse and its Properties
-DF- Pulse is the rhythmical vibration of the arterial walls caused by contractions of the heart, blood discharge into the arterial system, and changes in pressure in this system during systole and diastole
-Properties :
-* Rhythm: regular/irregular
* Pulse rate:
- normal (60-90 per min)
- bradicardia (<60 per min)
- tachycardia (>90 per min)
phases of BP
1 phase – first quiet tones – Systolic BP
2 phase – short compression murmurs
3 phase – loud systolic murmurs
4 phase – decreasing intensity of tones
5 phase – disappearance of tones – Diastolic BP
Borders of relative cardiac dullness
*Represents the true size of the heart
*Use a quiet percussion
*Define three boundaries:
- the right;
- the left;
- the upper
Causes of an increase in the right atrium
*Diseases of the lungs.
*Stenosis of the right AV-hole.
*Tricuspid regurgitation, or lack of tricuspid valve.
*Pulmonary embolism.
*Congenital heart diseases.
*Hypertrophy of the right ventricle
Causes of an increase in the right ventricle
*Pulmonary hypertension.
*The tetrad of Fallot.
*Stenosis of the pulmonary artery mouth.
*Defect of interventricular septum.
