HR= 60bpm,
SV= 50cc?

A

1) CO= 60bpm x 50cc= 3L/min.
2) R= △P/Q R= 30mmHg/3l/min= 10mmHg x L/min

274
Q

What alteration in jugular venous pulsations might accompany third-degree heart block?

A

Irregular giant a-waves also called cannon waves

275
Q

When is tricuspid regurgitation heard on an ECG tracing?

A

Right after S-1 –> close to S-2

276
Q

Does 3rd degree HB cause an increased or decreased SV?

A

Increased SV due to lower HR= longer filling time

277
Q

Pulmonic stenosis will cause what kind of axis shift?

A

Right axis shift

278
Q

What is the definition of ejection fraction?

A

Ration of SV to EDV

279
Q

P-wave in normal aVR lead will have what deflection?

A

Downward deflection

280
Q

Decreased AV node conduction velocity will?
- Decreased HR,
- increase P-wave
- Increase PR interval
- widen QRS

A

Increase PR interval

281
Q

Calculate CO.
- Male 70kg,
- SAO2= 200cc/L
- PAO2= 140cc/L
- VO2= 600cc/L

A

1) CO= 10L/min. Q= [ VO2 / (SAO2 – PAO2) ]

282
Q

With all other factors equal, myocardial oxygen demands will be increased to the greatest extent by which of the following?
- increases in the heart rate
- increases in coronary flow
- increases in end-diastolic volume
- decreases in arterial pressure
- decreases in cardiac contractility

A
  • Isovolumetric contraction uses most energy.
  • Increased EDV will also increase O2 use but less than increased HR.
283
Q

Four of these conditions exist during the same phase of the cardiac cycle and one does not. Which one is the odd one?
- The mitral valve is open.
- The ST segment of the ECG is occurring.
- The “v” wave of thejugular venous pulse hasjust occurred.
- Ventricular volume is increasing.
- Aortic pressure is falling.

A

ST segment occurs during systole

284
Q

Increases in sympathetic neural activity to the heart will result in an increase in stroke volume by causing a decrease in end-systolic volume for any given end¬ diastolic volume. True or false?

A

True. Increased SNS activity –> increased contractility & EF

285
Q

In which direction will cardiac output change if central venous pressure is lowered while cardiac sympathetic tone is increased?

A
  • Need more info to properly answer question.
  • Decreased preload decreases SV.
  • Increased SNS will increase SV & HR.
286
Q

Which of the following interventions will increase cardiac stroke volume?
- Increased ventricular filling pressure.
- decreased arterial pressure.
- Increased activity of cardiac sympathetic nerves.
- Increased circulating catecholamine levels?

A

All are correct.

287
Q

How does a stenotic valve affect EDV, ESV, CO, flow?

A
  • Flow is low due to high resistance.
  • EDV is reduced.
    -ESV is increased due to decreased CO.
288
Q

A common Side effect of beta-blocker therapy is decreased exercise tolerance. Why is this not surprising?

A

Block the ability to increase HR & CO

289
Q

Individuals with high arterial blood pressure (hypertension) are often treated with drugs that block beta-adrenergic receptors. What is a rationale for such treatment?

A
  • Reduce HR & contractility –> decrease CO.
  • Less flow through a constant = smaller pressure difference.
290
Q

What direct cardiovascular consequences would you expect from an intravenous injection of norepinephrine?

A

Increased HR, contraction, arteriolar & venous constriction

291
Q

How would a 10% diameter increase affect resistance?

A
  • Resistance decreases by 32%.
  • (R=1/r4th) R= 1/1.1 to the 4th –> 1/1.46 = 0.68%
