25
Describe the myocardium (including thickness for the LV and RV)
Thick middle layer Striated muscle LV: 6–10mm RV: 3-5mm
26
Describe the epicardium/pericardium
``` Outermost layer Echogenic Has two layers: -fibrous pericardium -serous pericardium ```
27
Describe the fibrous pericardium. What is its function?
Outermost layer Function: Prevents over distension of the heart
28
Describe the serous pericardium
Serous pericardium has two layers... Parietal and visceral There is 20-50ml of fluid between the two layers for lubrication
29
How can you tell if excessive pericardial fluid is acute or chronic?
It depends on the rate of accumulation of the fluid
30
Why is the RV crescent shaped?
Due to higher pressure in the LV
31
What is the moderator band and where is it found?
It’s the anterior papillary muscle that connect the side pap muscles Found in the right ventricle ONLY
32
What is the infundibulum of the heart and where is it found?
It’s a ridge of smooth muscle | Found between the RVOT and the LVOT
33
How are the 4 pulmonary veins further subdivided?
Into 2 upper and 2 lower | RUPV, RLPV, LUPV, LLPV
34
In the LA, where is a common site of thrombus?
LA appendage
35
where does the R coronary cusp of AO valve face?
faces towards the RV | origin of the RCA
36
where does the L coronary cusp of AO valve face?
The pulmonary artery | origin of L main CA
37
where does the noncoronary cusp of AO valve face?
the IAS
38
do the cusps of the AO valve overlap? what is this zone called?
Yes | coaptation zone
39
what are the leaflets of the MV? what are the pap-mules in the LV called?
leaflets: anterior and posteior pap: anterolateral and posteromedial
40
what does stretching of the annulus cause?
regurgitation
41
What are the scallops of the MV leaflets and how are they labeled?
Numbered from lateral to medial The AMVL have no true divisions but the PMVL do, use the same landmarks to divide anterior MV leaflet: A1, A2, A3 posterior MV leaflet: P1, P2, P3
42
3 cusps of TV?
anterior posterior septal
43
what are the most common types of abnormalities with the PV?
tend to be congenial rather than acquired
44
3 cusps of PV?
anterior left right
45
what are the 2 major parts of the IVS?
membranous septum: thin and most common site for ventricular septal defect muscular septum: thicker, less common site of VSD
46
which ventricle does the muscular septum mostly belong to?
the LV
47
what are the 3 segments of the IAS numbered in order of formation?
1. septum primum (bottom section) 2. septum secundum (top section) 3. foramen ovale (with covering flap)
48
another word for pericardium?
epicardium
49
What does the middle mediastinum contain
The pericardium and the heart
50
What is the eustachian valve?
Directs fetal flow from RA to LV
51
How many pap muscles does the TV have?
3
52
In what % of people does the posterior descending A come from the RCA? What does this indicate and what other artery can is arise from
70-80% Indicated R dominant heart, can arise from circumflex
53
From which vessel do the main branches of the coronary arteries originate?
From the AO
54
Which part of the IVS closes last?
Membranous
55
The heart is spurring by which sac?
Pericardial sac
56
Which cardiac vein follows the RCA?
Small cardiac vein
57
What are the blood volume sin the LV at end diastole and end systole?
End diastole: 100ml | End systole: 30ml
58
What’s another term for the visceral layer of the serous pericardial?
Epicardium
59
Where is the RAtrial appendage located?
Superior in the R atrium
60
Where do the coronary sinus drain into the RA?
Inferiorly near the entrance of the IVC
61
How does the LV muscle appear?
Trabeculated
