Term
6 mechanisms of CV dysfunction
Definition
1. pump failure
2. Flow obstruction
3. Regurgitant flow
4. Shunted flow
5. disorders of cardiac conduction
6. repture of vessel
Term
How is the heart connected?
Definition
In SERIES
right output = left output
Term
Which valve seperates the left heart?
Definition
Mitral valve
Term
Which ciruclation is the left heart?
Definition
Systemic circulation
HIGH pressure
Term
Blood moves via what flow?
Definition
Bulk flow (convection)
Term
How to nutrients and oxygen move?
Definition
via diffusion from capillaries to cells
Term
what type of circulation is the right heart?
Definition
Pulmonary ciruclation
low pressure
Term
what seperates right atrium and ventricle?
Definition
Tricuspid valve
Term
Cardiac output
Definition
rate blood is pumped from either ventricle (normal is 5 L/min)
Term
venous return
Definition
rate at which blood returns to atria
Term
Failure of Left Heart pump
Definition
1. left ventricle failure
2. backflow from lungs
3. pulmonary edema
4. increased pulmonary artery pressure
5. Cor pulmonale

decresed cardiac output to systemic organs
First sign: RESPIRATORY DISTRESS
Term
Right heart failure
Definition
1. right ventricle dilation and hypertrophy
2. increased pressure of Jugular veins
3. Increased central venous pressure
4. congestive hepatomegaly (liver)
5. ascities (kidneys)
6. pedal adema

decreased blood supply to entire body
Term
Cardiac outflow to organs
Definition
in parrallel so each organ gets blood depending on its metabolism. Liver and gut consume most O2. Flow can be adjusted to individual organs without affecting whole system.
Term
What is the first sign of left heart failure?
Definition
Pulmonary distress
Term
If the patient has increased jugular pressure and swelling of feet is it left or right heart failure?
Definition
Right heart
Term
what is systolic pressure in right ventricle?
Definition
15-30
Term
what is systolic pressure in left ventricle?
Definition
90-140
Term
describe the blood flow of the right heart
Definition
from IVC and SVC to right atrium thru tricuspid valvle to right ventricle to pulmonary artery to lungs
Term
explains the blood flow of the left heart
Definition
from the lungs thru pulmonary veins to the left atrium thru mitral valve to left ventricle to aorta to organs (except lungs)
