Test 1 Flashcards
Aortic annulus is attracted to pulmonic annulus by
Tendon of conus
Aortic annulus also connected to AV valves by
Ventral fibrous body
What constitutes the fibrous cardiac skeleton
Four valve annuli
4 components of skeletal base of heart
Valve annuli
Aortic and pulmonary roots
Central fibrous body
Fibrous trigones
Location of coronary sinus
Between AV orifice and valve of IVC
Compare thickness of RV and LV
RV 4-5mm
LV 8-15mm
Compare upper 1/3 of septum to lower 2/3
Upper 1/3 is smooth endocardium
Lower 2/3 is trabeculae
Myocardium is ____ layers. Middle is _____
3
Middle is muscular which runs in spiral fashion
Normal size of aortic, tricuspid, and mitral valve
Aortic. 2.5-3.5 cm2
Mitral. 4-6 cm2
Tricuspid. 7 cm2
Coronary artery which typically provides flow to bundle branches
LAD
Provides flow to anterior 2/3 of IVS, bundle branches, papillary muscles of MV, anterior-lateral and apical LV
LAD
Provides flor to LA and posterior-lateral LV
Circumflex
Provides flow to SA/AV nodes
RCA
Provides flow to SA/AV nodes, RA, RV, posterior 1/3 of IVS
RCA
Dominance is determined by
Whether the circumflex of RCA provides flow to PDA
Effect of CAD of coronary vascular smooth muscle tone and anitcoagluation
Thickening of endothelium resulting in clot- vasospasm
Adversely effects autoregulatory fx of vascular endothelial cells expressing anticoagulant substances and myocardial blood flow
Define coronary perfusion pressure and its component/formula
CPP = DBP - LVEDP
Compare LV and RV perfusion in systole and diastole
RV fills throughout cycle
LV fills during diastole
Area of myocardium most affected by extravascular compression and higher LVEDP
Subendocardium
Lower heart rate minimizes compression
Key responses to CAD in coronary circulation
Collateral flow and remodeling
4 determinants of coronary blood flow
Perfusion pressure
Myocardial extravascular compression
Myocardial Metabolism
Neurohumoral control
Determinants of myocardial oxygen supply
Heart rate ** PCWP/LVEDP** DBP O2 sat Hct CAD
Components of myocardial oxygen demand
Heart rate **
PCWP/LVEDP **
SBP
CO
2 determinants of myocardial oxygen balance that both decrease supply and increase demand
Increased HR and PCWP/LVEDP
