|
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
|

|
|
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.
|

|
|
