Lecture 4: Cardiac Cycle, Heart Sounds, Murmurs Flashcards
(40 cards)
a Swan-Ganz catheter can be used to detect activity of what location?
right atria,
right ventricle,
pulmonary artery
Forward flow of blood in that vessel is blocked and the transducer detects the “pulmonary wedge pressure” which is a good indicator of pressure in the _________
left atria
part of cardiac cycle:
ventricular contraction and ejection of blood
systole
part of cardiac cycle: ventricular relaxation and filling with blood
diastole
the heart has a “normal” resting rate of ____ bpm
72
assuming a resting rate of 72 beats per minutes, one cycle takes ______ seconds
0.8
The wiggers diagram presents systole & diastole for which heart sides
LEFT sides heart chambers
What is a?
- atrial systole
- triggered by the P wave
- small pressure rise as the atrium squeezes blood intro ventricle
- tops off ventricle-already 90-95% of blood
b?
b-c?
-b: mitral valve closure (begining of ventricular systole)
b-c: isovolumetic contraction
- triggered by QRS complex
-Aortic valve is closed (end of ventricular systole)
- pressure rises rapidly(mitral valve closure _ ventricular depol)
- volume is constant
- aortic pressure ~ 80 mmHg
note that both mitral & aortic valves are closed
c?
c: opening of aortic valve
-ventricular pressure exceeds aortic pressure
-begins ejection phase
-ejection initially rapid
-aortic pressure rises
D?
peak/reduction in ejection rate
- ventricle approaches the end of contraction (T wave occurring)
- outward flow declines as kinetic energy of blood decreases
-ventricular and aortic pressures begin to fall**
e-f?
e-f: isovolumetric relaxation
- forward movement of blood reverses, closing aortic valve
- incisura (dichrotic notch) indicates** aortic valve closure (e)**
-ventricular pressure falls precipitously
- atrial pressure rises as venous inflow fills the atrium
- aortic pressure falls as ejected blood drains away from heart
f:
f) opening of mitral valve
i) begins rapid filling of ventricle from accumulated blood in atrium
ii) rapid filling followed by reduced filling from pulmonary veins.
what marks the begining/end of systole?
mitral valve closure is the begining
aortic valve closure is the ending
normal pressure ranges for
left ventricle
aorta
left atria
left ventricle: 0-120mmHg
aorta: 80-120mmHg
left atria: 6-10mmHg
label the atrial pressure waves
a – atrial systole
c – closure of mitral valve
v – atrial filling and emptying
The cardiac cycle: P-V loop
EDV:
ESV:
define stroke volume:
**(EDV): **atrial systole fills the ventricular to the end diastolic volume
** the volume stays constant during isovolumetric contraction, then decreases as blood is ejected into the aorta*
- at the end of ejection, the volume remaining in the ventricle is the end systolic volume (ESV)
* EDV - ESV = stroke volume
S1 heart sound:
mitral valve closure (and tricuspid) valves with the sudden rise in ventricular pressure causes turbulence of blood in ventricles
S2 heart sound
closure of aortic & pulmonic valves causes vibrations of blood in the high pressure vessels
heart sound heard from vibration of ventricular walls during atrial systole in some individuals (Tennessee):
S4
heart sound heard during rapid filling in some individuals- normal in children (Kentucky):
S3
Name the murmur:
regurgitant flow through incompetent
mitral or tricuspid valve would result in a:
ventricular septal defect
pansystolic murmur
Name the murmer:
regurgitant flow through incompetent aortic or pulmonic valve would result in a:
mitral or tricuspid stenosis would this murmur
distolic murmur
a patent ductus arteriosus defect would cause a:
continuous murmurs
