Cardiac Output formula
|
CO = HR x SV
|
|
|
What influences cardiac output?
|
Influenced by activity level, metabolic rate, physiologic and psychologic stress, age, body size, cardiac reserve
|
|
|
Cardiac Index
|
CI = CO/body surface area
|
|
|
Heart Sounds
S1 (lub) |
Caused by Tricuspid and Mitral valve closure
diastole |
|
|
Where can you best hear S1?
|
Apex of the heart
by the diaphragm |
|
|
Heart Sounds
S2 (dub) |
Caused by aortic and pulmonic valve closure
systole - onset of relaxation |
|
|
Where can you best hear S2?
|
2nd ICS
|
|
|
Heart Sounds
S3 (lub-dub-AH) |
ventricular gallop
due to myocardial failure and ventricular volume overload |
|
|
What dx are usually associated with S3 sounds?
|
CHF; mitral or tricuspid regurgitation
|
|
|
Heart Sounds
S4 (TA-lub-dub) |
atrial gallop
due to increased resistance to ventricular filling after atrial contraction |
|
|
What dx are usually associated with S4 sounds?
|
HTN, CAD, aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathy
|
|
|
Systole
|
ventricles contract and eject blood into pulmonary and systemic circuits
|
|
|
Diastole
|
ventricles relax and refill with blood
|
|
|
Pulse Deficit
|
Radial pulse rate falls behind apical rate
|
|
|
What does it mean if there is a pulse deficit?
|
Indicates weak, ineffective contractions of left ventricle (p 801)
|
|
|
Atrial fibrillation
|
rapid impulses bombard AV node resulting in irregular ventricular response
|
|
|
Manifestations of A-fib
|
decreased CO such as hypotension, shortness of breath, fatigue, and angina
Peripheral pulses are irregular and of variable strength Increases risk for thromboemboli - incidence of stroke is high |
|
|
Ventricular fibrillation
|
extremeley rapid chaotic ventricular depolarization causing ventricles to quiver and stop pumping - CARDIAC ARREST
|
|
|
Manifestations of V-fib
|
absence of pulse, losses of consciousness, stop breathing
|
