Heart is composed of 3 layers.
Endocardium
Myocardium
Epicardium
Right atrium
receives DEoxygenated blood returning from the body tissues.
Right ventricle
receives the blood from the right atrium and pumps to lungs through right and left pulmonary arteries.
Left atrium
receives OXYGENATED blood from lungs in pulmonary veins.
Left ventricle:
Receives the blood from the left atrium and pumps to all parts of the body through aorta and all arteries.
4 heart valves
Right atrioventricular (AV): Tricuspid valve
Left atrioventricular (AV) valve: Mitral (bicuspid) valve
Pulmonary valve: A semilunar valve
Aortic valve: a semilunar valve
First sound of the heart beat
S1: Lubb, is a long, booming sound from the AV valves closing after ventricular systole begins.
Second sound of the heart beat
S2: Dupp, is a short, sharp sound from the semilunar valves closing at the end of ventricular systole.
What is the pacemaker of the heart, located in the upper wall of the right atrium?
Sinoatrial node (SA)
What is CAD?
Coronary Artery Disease: CAD affects about 7 million people and causes nearly half a million deaths in the U.S. each year. It is mainly caused by coronary atherosclerosis in coronary arteries, leading to reduction in blood flow to the myocardium.
Risk factors for CAD?
High lipid level, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cigarette smoking, and genetics.
Main cause of valvular heart disease?
Most cases are rheumatic heart disease. Pt had history of acute rheumatic fever, or tonsillitis infected by streptococci. The toxin produced by those bacteria causes an immune reaction, which causes the stenosis or regurgitation in any valves, but most commonly the mitral valve.
The normal range of the heart rate?
60-100 beats per minute.

Avg. cardiac output for a normal adult at rest is 5L blood/minute.
Heart Failure: Left Hemisphere Failure =
2 key words
Results from ACUTE cardiac infarction, hypertension, etc., which presents the symptoms of lung congestion and acute pulmonary edema. PULMONARY.
Heart Failure: Right Hemisphere Failure =
2 key words
often results from CHRONIC pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale) etc., the clinical manifestation are caused by systemic congestion and peripheral edema. SYSTEMIC.
