Heart Flashcards
(35 cards)
QRS complex
Atrium repolarized ventricle depolarizers ventricle contraction occurs immediately
P wave of ECG
Depolarization of the atrium(left side) immediately starts to contract the atrium
T wave of ECG
Repolarization of ventricle
Systole
Contraction
Diastole
Relaxation of heart
Heart murmur
When one of the valves doesn’t work right
Step one in cycle(Middle p wave to r point on ECG) Chambers Pressure Valves Ventricle blood volume
Atrial systole Chambers: atria contracting, ventricle relaxed Pressure: ventricle<aortic Valves: AV open semilunar closed Blood volume: increase slightly
Early ventricle systole Chambers Pressure Valves Ventricular blood volume
Chambers: atria relax ventricle contract
Pressure: ventricle>atrial<aortic
Valves: AV closed semilunar closed
Blood: remains same(Isovolumetric contraction)
Stage 3(late ventricle systole) Chambers Pressure Valves Ventricular blood volume
Chambers: atria relax ventricle contract
Pressure: ventricle>atrial>aorta
Valves: AV closed semilunar open
Blood: decrease( blood expelled to aorta)
Early ventricle diastole( step 4 cycle) Chambers Pressure Valves Ventricle blood volume
Chambers: atria and ventricle relaxing
Pressure: ventricle>atrial<aorta
Valves: AV and semilunar both closed
Blood:same(Isovolumetric relaxation)
Late ventricle diastole( step 5 cycle) Chambers Pressure Valves Ventricular blood volume
Chambers: atria and ventricle relaxed
Pressure: ventricle<aorta
Valves: AV open semilunar closed
Blood: increases(from atrium to ventricle)
End systolic volume(EVS)
How much blood remains in the ventricle after it flows to the aorta
End diastolic volume(EDV)
How much blood is in the ventricle before contraction(full)
Stroke volume
How much is lost during contraction? EDV-ESV= stroke volume
Fluids move down______________ gradient
Pressure gradient
Cardiac output( ml per min)
Heart rate(HR) * stroke volume(SV) (Beats/min). (ml/beat)
Conduction system cardiac excitability
1) initiation, SA node initiates action potential
2) spread of AP is propagated throughout atria(the conduction system)
Cardiac muscle cells excitability
1) AP initiated in conduction is propagated across sacrolemma
2) muscle contractions thin slide past thick and sacromeres shorten within cells
Steps to extrinsic conduction system
1) sinoatrial(SA) node(pacemaker) generates impulse
2) impulses pause .1 sec at the atrial ventricular (AV) node
3) AV bundle connects atria and ventricle
4) bundle branches conduct impulses through intraventricular septum
5) purkinje fibers depolarize contractile cells of both ventricles
Pacemaker(AV) autorhythmicity
1) slow voltage gated Na channels open inflow changes potential from -60mv to -40mv
2) depolarization fast voltage gated Ca channels open inflow changes from -40mv to 0 mv
3) repolarization Ca channels close K opens and flows out potential returns to -60 and K closes
PR segment of ECG
AV node delay(.1sec)
ST segment of ECG
When ventricles are contracting and emptying
TP interval of ECG
When ventricles are relaxing and refilling
Junctional rhythm ECG reading
SA node is nonfunctional p waves absent heart paced by AV node 40-60 bpm
