Q

cardiac cycle starting at ventricular filling

what is happening with the valves?

A
  • ventricular filling (AV valve open, aortic valve closed)
  • atrial systole
  • > AV valve closes
  • isovolumetric contraction (AV and aortic valve closed)
  • > aortic valve opens
  • ejection -> aortic valve closes
  • isovolumetric relaxation (AV and aortic valve closed)
  • > AV valve opens

Q

LVEDV

A

volume in ventricle at end of atrial systole

just after mitral valve has shut

Q

3rd heart sound heard

due to

A

Q

4th heart sound heard

due to

A
  • before 1st heart sound
  • contraction of atria against stiff ventricle
17
Q

which atrium contracts first?

A
  • right atrium before left atrium
18
Q

which ventricle contracts first

result

A
  • left ventricle before right ventricle
  • mitral valve closes before tricuspid and can sometimes get an S1 split
19
Q

which valve shuts first?

A
  • aortic valve shuts before pulmonary valve
  • mitral valve shuts before tricuspid valve

21
Q

label the waves

A

a - atrial systole

x- descent

c- contraction of ventricles

v- venous filling

y - descent

22
Q

cause of C wave bump

A
  • increased ventricular pressure during ventricular contraction causes teh AV valve to bulge back into the atrium
23
Q

why can you hear a split S2 during inspriation?

A
  • venous return to right atrium (and ventricle) increases, which delays pulmonaic valve closure even further.
24
Q

we hear fixed splitting in what condition?

A
  • atrial septal defect
