Q

3rd heart sound

A
  • Heard only among children and young adults

Q

FUN FACTS CLINICALLY

A
  • IF SA node & AV node are both damaged- will have multiple pacemakers= ventricular fibrillation- heart quivers =doesn’t pump efficiently-must force multiple pacemakers to synchronize.
  • Transplant=DENERVATED- no more nerve supply from the vagus nerve or sympathetic nervous system-when exercise doesn’t pump any harder= DELAYED RESPONSE; when resting, then starts to increase through adrenal glands= LONG DURATION
