Q

Extracellular sodium conc.

-relationship to inotropy of heart?

A
  • Na/Ca exchanger. Pumps Ca out in exchange for bringing a Na into cell down its conc. gradient.
  • The less extracellular sodium = less this pump works b/c of the dec. Na gradient = more Ca stays in the cell = more contractility of cardiac myocyte.
  • pretty much same thing as digitalis/digoxin except thats inc. the intracellular Na to dec. the conc. gradient to slow down the Na/Ca pump to inc. intracellular Ca.
  • blocks the Na/K ATPase

Q

v wave

A
  • positive wave

- filling of RA against closed tricuspid valve

36
Q

y descent

A
  • negative wave
  • blood flow from RA to RV.
  • so obviously the pressure is decreasing in the RA.
37
Q

What causes wide splitting?

A
  • wide splitting = P2 more delayed than usual.
  • doesn’t have to do w/inspiration.
  • due to dec. RV emptying; pulm stenosis, right bundle branch block.
  • inspiration still delays P2 a little
38
Q

Fixed splitting seen in what?

A
  • ASD

* inspiration has no effect on P2 splitting. Thats why its called “fixed”.

39
Q

Paradoxical splitting: P2 before A2

A
  • delayed LV emptying. So A2 happens after P2.
  • so during inspiration, P2 still delayed, but now moves closer to (but still before) A2 as opposed to farther away and after it.
  • this = paradoxical.
  • ie. aortic stenosis
40
Q

Where do you hear?

  • aortic stenosis
  • aortic regurg
A
  • aortic stenosis = right sternal border

- aortic regurg = left sternal border

41
Q

  • left sternal border

- 3rd rib space

42
Q

-

45
Q

Occlusion of which artery leads to papillary muscle infarct?

-papillary muscle infarct can lead to what murmur?

A
  • RCA

- mitral regurg.

46
Q

Where does aortic stenosis murmur radiate to?

-“Pulsus parvus et tardus” - whats that mean?

A
  • carotids

- “pulses are weak with a delayed peak.”

47
Q

Whats the most frequent valvular lesions?

A

mitral valve prolapse

48
Q

Valsalva

A

reduces venous return!

  • dec. intensity of most murmurs since less volume/pressure in all chambers.
  • will however inc murmur of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
49
Q

where is the highest BP in the whole body?

A

LV

50
Q

Mitral stenosis:

  • S2-OS interval, what is it?
  • what shortens that interval?
A

The higher the early left atrial diastolic pressure, the earlier the opening snap will be.

  • The mitral valve opens the moment the pressure in the left atrium is higher than the pressure in the left ventricle.
  • So if the pressure in the left atrium is higher then the opening snap will occur sooner.

-the more severe the stenosis, the higher the steady state left atrium pressure in early diastole, and the shorter the S2-OS interval.

51
Q

Machine-like murmur

A

PDA

52
Q

Name a failure of fusion

A

hypospadias

-failure or urethral folds to close

53
Q

anterior or posterior: aorta vs pulm art?

  • high freq
  • low freq
  • S1/S2
  • S3
A
  • high freq = diaphragm
  • low freq = bell
  • S1/S2 = high freq = diaphragm
  • S3 = low freq = bell.
66
Q

How do u accentuate S3 sound?

A

left lateral decubitus

-fully exhale

67
Q

Is a thin fibrous atheroma plaque good or bad?

A

bad, not stable. Can rupture.

-a rich lipid core also makes it more likely to rupture.

68
Q

Cardiac tissue conduction velocity

-Fastest to slowest

A

Park at ventura ave.

  • purkinje = fastest
  • atrial muscle
  • ventricular muscle
  • av node = slowest
69
Q

ventricular action potential

-phase 0

A
  • rapid upstroke

- QRS complex

70
Q

ventricular action potential

-phase 2

A
  • Ca influx
  • plateau = ST segment
  • Ca influx triggers Ca release from SR => myocyte contraction.
71
Q

Which phase of ventricular AP is myocyte contraction?

A

phase 2: opening of Ca channels.

-the plateau.

72
Q

How does PKA and Gs (ie. beta-1) cause inc. in HR?

A

PKA increases rate at which Ca is sequestered back into sarcoplasmic reticulum from cytosol. Increasing this rate will decrease the relaxation rate of the myocytes which will allow them to contract again sooner. So PKA -> inc rate of Ca sequestration -> dec myocyte relaxation rate -> inc. HR.
*SERCA = pumps Ca into SR. Phospholamban inhibits SERCA. PKA phoshos phospholamban and inhibits it. So PKA inhibits the inhibitor.

SO: beta-1 inc. PKA action = inc. rate of cardiac myocyte relaxation = inc. chronotropy/HR.

73
Q

Nodal phase 0: influx of what?

Ventricular myocyte phase 0: influx of what?

A

-slope of phase 4 in SA node.

76
Q

ACh/adenosine: action on phase 4 (diastolic depolarization).

A
  • dec. slope of phase 4 in SA node.

- this decreases the HR.

77
Q

Catecholamines: action on phase 4 (diastolic depolarization).

A
  • inc. slope of phase 4 in SA node.
  • this increases the HR.
  • basically increases chances that If channels are open, which increases the phase 4 slope.
78
Q

ST segment correlates to which phase?

A

phase 2 = plateau, when myocytes are all depolarized for like 100-200 ms or something.

79
Q

T wave correlates to which phase?

A

T wave = ventricular repolarization = phase 3 (rapid K efflux)

80
Q

QRS complex correlates to which phase?

A

QRS complex = ventricular depolarization = phase 0.

-Na rushes in.

81
Q

Which tissues does ANP act on?

A
  • kidneys: dilate afferent arteriole, inhibit Na resorption, inhibit renin.
  • adrenals: inhibit aldo secretion
  • vasculature: vasodilate arts/veins
82
Q

A
  • flushed face, relieved w/aspirin
  • hyperuricemia
  • hyperglycemia (can lead to acanthosis nigricans)
83
Q

arterial baroreceptors

  • more or less firing w/higher BP?
  • what happens when you massage them?
A
  • higher BP = more firing = more inhibition of sympathetic drive = para takes over = vasodilation.
  • massaging them stimulates high BP so u get vasodilation.
  • these afferents terminate in solitary nucleus of medulla.
84
Q

Wolf parkinson white

-QRS wider or more narrow?

A
  • wider due to the delta wave

- it will become narrow if it forms a re-entrant circuit and causes tachy.
