On the left coronary artery name the branches

A

On top passing along the side is the Circumflex artery and anterior is the anterior interventricular branch

28
Q

Name the branches of the left and right coronary artery

A

right = sinoatrial (60%) marginal, AV node branch, posterior IV (85%!!)

Left = Anterior IV (LAD), Circumflex is sinoatrial branch 40% and marginal

29
Q

What is it called when you put a balloon into a coronary artery and place a stent in?

A

Percutaneous intervention

30
Q

What is the venous drainage of the heart?

A

Anterior - great cardiac vein, small cardiac vein

Posterior - Middle cardiac vein, Coronary sinus - big one

31
Q

What does the fibrous skeleton provide?

A

position and function

32
Q

Describe the right atrium?

A

SVC and IVC and coronary sinus empty.

Anterior wall is rough with pectinate muscle which is part of the primitive atrium.

Posterior wall is smooth from sinus venosus.

These are seperated by crist terminalis

Sulcus terminalis

Tricuspid valve

33
Q

What is the fossa ovalis

A

The fossa ovalis is a depression in the right atrium of the heart, at the level of the interatrial septum, the wall between right and left atrium. The fossa ovalis is the remnant of a thin fibrous sheet that covered the foramen ovale during fetal development.

34
Q

What is the sulcus terminalis?

A

The terminal sulcus extends from the front of the superior vena cava to the front of the inferior vena cava, and represents the line of union of the sinus venosus of the embryo with the primitive atrium. On the internal aspect of the right atrium, corresponding to the terminal sulcus is the crista terminalis.

35
Q

What is the limbus?

A

Crest of fossa ovalis

36
Q

What is the atrial septa defect?

A

A “hole” in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart. This defect allows oxygen-rich blood to leak into the oxygen-poor blood chambers in the heart. ASD is a defect in the septum between the heart’s two upper chambers (atria).

37
Q

Where and what are trabeculations?

A

ridges in the ventricles.

38
Q

What are papillary muscles?

A

connected to atrioventricular valves by chordae tendineae that prevent valves from opening backwards under systolic pressure

39
Q

Describe the tricuspid valve

A

located in the right ventricle divided into anterior septal and posterior cusps attached via chordae tendinae to the papillary muscles at the septomarginal trabecula.

40
Q

Describe the Pulmonary valve?

A

In the right ventricle comprised of anterior right and left semilunar cusps preventing backflow into the ventricle from the pulmonary trunk.

41
Q

Describe the Pulmonary valve?

A

In the right ventricle comprised of anterior right and left semilunar cusps preventing backflow into the ventricle from the pulmonary trunk.

42
Q

Describe the left atrium?

A

back of the heart, receives 4 pulmonary veins smooth walled due to embryonic pulmonary veins.
Rough walled part at appendage due to pectinate muscles of primitive atrium.

Left auricle, pulmonary veins, valve of foramen ovale.

43
Q

What can cause narrowing of the oesophagus?

A

enlarged left atrium barium swallow.

44
Q

What is the foramen ovale?

A

The foramen ovale is a normal cardiac structure found in all newborns and can be best described as a “door” between the right and left atria. The foramen ovale is essential for proper fetal circulation, directing oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta, preferentially to the developing fetal brain.

45
Q

Describe the left ventricle?

A 
Mitral valve anterior cusp
Chordae tendineae
Anterior papillary muscle
Trabeculae careae
Posterior papillary muscle
Mitral posterior cusp
46
Q

Aortic valve

A

anterior

left posterior right posterior non coronary cusp

47
Q

pulmonary valve

A

left anterior
right anterior
posterior

48
Q

What type of tissue seperates atria from ventricles

A

fibrous non conductive tissue

49
Q

What is the conduction system in the heart?

A

Specialised cardiac tissue leading from sinoatrial node to atrioventricular node
Bundle of His - right and left branches
Purkinje fibres

50
Q

What are Purkinje fibres

A

During the ventricular contraction portion of the cardiac cycle, the Purkinje fibers carry the contraction impulse from both the left and right bundle branch to the myocardium of the ventricles

51
Q

What is the bundle of His

A

Function. The bundle of His is an important part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, as it transmits impulses from the atrioventricular node, located at the inferior end of the interatrial septum, to the ventricles of the heart.

52
Q

What is the septomarginal band

A

right ventricle containing part of right bundle

53
Q

What is the delay of the AV node?

A

.12-.2 seconds therefore atria contract before ventricles

54
Q

Where is the sinoatrial node?

A

The SA node is located in the wall (myocardium) of the right atrium, laterally to the entrance of the superior vena cava in a region called the sinus venarum (hence sino- + atrial). It is positioned roughly between a groove called the crista terminalis located on the internal surface of the heart and the corresponding sulcus terminalis, on the external surface. These grooves run between the entrance of the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava.

55
Q

Where is the AV node?

A

The AV node lies at the lower back section of the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. The AV node is quite compact . It is located at the center of Koch’s triangle—a triangle enclosed by the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve, the coronary sinus, and the membranous part of the interatrial septum.

56
Q

What is the order for examining clinical cardia?

A 
Talk to patient
Look at patient
Feel pulse
Look at patient ankles neck
Apex beat - heaves and thrills
Auscultate the lungs
Auscultate the heart
57
Q

Where are the borders of the heart?

A

2nd CC right of sternum
3rd CC left of sternum
6th CC left of sternum
5th ICS right of sternum

58
Q

What is the apex beat?

A

lowest most lateral point on the chest wall where the beat can be heard usually in the 5th intercostal space in mid clavicular

59
Q

What are the points of auscultation for heart sounds?

A

Pulmonary - 3rd CC - 2nd ICS LEFT of sternum

Aortic - 3rd ICS - 2nd ICS RIGHT of sternum

Mitral - 4th CC - 5th left ICS MCL

Tricuspid - 4th ICS - 5th ICS left of sternum

60
Q

What is stenosis?

A

narrowing, problem with valve opening

61
Q

What is regurgitation?

A

problem with valve closing
