Term
Heart Embryo
Definition

3: Migrates down so only one foramen, septum secundun forms
4: Septum secundum becomes the atrial wall while the septum primum becomes the flap valve

Term
Fetal Circulation
Definition
Umbilical vein has a PO2 of 30
Dectus Venosus- bypasses te hepatic circulation
Term
First Breath
Definition
Decreases resistance in pulmonary vasculature, causing inc LA pressure vs RA pressure, closing the FO
Inc in O2 leads to dec in prostaglandins, closing the DA
Term

Definition
Umbilical vein - ligamentum teres hepatis

Term
CA anatomy

Acute marginal artery (RCA) - R ventricle
Post descending/interventricular Aa - Post septum and vents
Left circumflex (LCA)- lateral and post walls of LV
LAD - Ant septum and ant ventricle, pappillary muslces
SA and AV nodes supplied by the RCA
LAD is the most common occlusion
Term
Cardiac output
Definition
CO = HR x SV
MAP = CO x TPR
Term
Stroke Volume
Definition
Inc SV when there is inc preload, dec after load or inc contractility
Inc with catecholamines, intracellular Ca, and extracellular Na, digitalis
Dec with B blockade, HF, Acidosis, Hypoxia, NDHP Ca Ch blockers
Term
Digitalis
Definition
Blocks the Na/K pump, leading to an inc in intracellular Na, stopping the Na/Ca exchanger
Term
Preload and Afterload
Definition
Venodilators - Nitroglycerin
Vasodilators - Hydralazine (a = artery)
Term
Ejection Fraction
Definition
EF = SV/EDV
Normal is >55
Term
Cardiac Cycle
Definition
isovolumetric contraction - period of highest O2 consumption
Term
S1
Definition
Mitral and tricuspid valve closing, loudest at mitral area
Term
S2
Definition
Aortic and Pulmonic valve closure, loudest at left sternal border
Term
S3
Definition
Early diastole, rapid ventricular filling phase
Inc filling pressures (MV regurg, CHF, dilated ventricles)
Common in children in pregnant women
Term
S4
Definition
Late diastole, high atrial pressure
Ventricular Hypertrophy
"LA has to push against the LV wall"
Term
JVP waves
Definition
a wave- atrial contraction
c wave- RV contraction (closed TC bulging into atrium)
x descent- atrial relaxation
y wave - inc RA pressure due to filling against closed valve
y descent- blood flow from the RA to RV
Term
Normal Splitting
Definition
Inspiration - drop in ITP, inc venous return to the RV, Inc SV, Inc ejection time, delayed closure of pulmonic valve
Term
Wide Splitting
Definition
Conditions that delay RV emptying
Pulmonic stenosis, RBBB
*unrelated to breath
Term
Fixed Splitting
Definition
Seen in ASD - Left to R shunt, Inc RA and RV volumes
Term
Paradoxical Splitting
Definition
Conditions that delay LV emptying
Aortic stenosis, LBBB
Normal order of valve closure is reversed so that P2 occurs before delayed A2
*on inspiration, split is diminished because of late A2 sound
Term
Auscultation maneuvers
Definition
Inspiration - inc R sided heart sounds
Expiration - inc L sided heart sounds
Hand Grip - Inc intensity of MR, AR, VSD, MVP
Valsalva - Inc intensity of MVP, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Squatting - Dec intensity of MVP, Hypertrophic CM
Term
Mitral/Tricuspid Regurg
Definition
Holosystolic, high pitched *blowing murmur
Mitral- loudest at the apex, and radiates towards the axilla
Ischemic heart disease, MVP or LV dilation
Tricuspid- loudest at tricuspid area, radiates to R sternal border
RV dilation, rheumatic heart disease or infective endocarditis
Term
Aortic Stenosis
Definition
Crescendo/Decrescendo murmur, following ejection click
Radiates to carotids, heart base
Pulsus parvus et tardus - pulses are weak with a delayed peak
Can lead to syncope, angina and dyspnea on exertion
Age related calcific aortic stenosis, or bicuspid valve
Term
VSD
Definition
Holosystolic, *harsh sounding murmur
Loudest at the TC area
Accentuated with hand grip maneuver due to inc afterload
Term
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Definition
Late systolic crescendo with mid systolic click
Best heard over apex, loudest at S2
Can predispose to infective endocarditis
Can be caused by myxomatous degeneration, RF, chord rupture
Enhanced by valsalva or standing
Term
Aortic Regurg
Definition
High pitched *blowing diastolic decrescendo murmur
*Wide pulse pressure, bounding pulses, head bobbing
Aortic root dilation, bicuspid aortic valve, endocarditis or RF
Term
Mitral Stenosis
Definition
Follows opening snap
Delayed Rumbling late diastolic murmur
Secondary to rheumatic fever
Term
PDA
Definition
Continuous machine-like murmur. Loudest at S2
Due to congenital rubella or prematurity
Term
Ventricular AP
Definition
Phase 0 - VG Na channels open
Phase 1 - Inactivation of VG Na, open VG K channel
Phase 2 - Ca influx, K efflux
Phase 3 - Massive K efflux, close Ca channels
Phase 4 - High K permeability, through K channels
Term
Pacemaker AP
Definition
Phase 0 - opening of Ca ch. Inactivated Na ch
Phase 2 - Plateau is absent
Phase 3 - Inactivation of Ca ch, open K channels
Phase 4 - spontaneous depot of Na channels rising the current
Term

Term
2nd degree AV block, type 1
Definition
Progressive lengthening, until a beat is dropped
Term
2nd degree AV block, type 2
Definition
Dropped beats that are not preceded by a change in the PR length
May progress to third degree block, often needs pacemaker
Term
3rd degree AV block
Definition
Atria and ventricles have no association
*can be caused by Lyme disease
Term
ANP
Definition
Released from the atrial wall in response to inc blood volume
Causes vascular relaxation and Dec Na reabsoprtion in kidney
Constricts efferent renal arterioles and dilates affarent arterioles, promoting diuresis
Term
Receptors
Definition
Aortic arch transmits via the vagus nerve to solitary nuc
*only responds to Inc in BP
Carotid Sinus transmits via the glossopharyngeal N to solitary nuc of medulla (responds to both Inc and dec)
Term

Definition
Hypotension leads to inc efferent sympathetic firing
vasoconstriction, inc HR, inc contractility and Inc BP
Carotid massage can lead to a dec in HR from inc stretch
Term
Cushing rxn
Definition
ICP leads to arterial constriction, cerebral ischemia and reflex symp inc leading to bradycardia
