lub/first heart sound
AV valves at beginning of systole
dub/second heart sound
closure of semilunar valves at end of systole
what causes the 1st and 2nd heart sounds
vibration of taut valves immediately after closure along with vibration of adjacent walls of heart and major vessels around heart
duration of 1st and 2nd heart sounds
0.14s and 0.11 s
why is the 2nd heart sound have a shorter duration
semilunar valves are more taut and vibrate for a shorter time
pitch of first 2 heart sounds
lowest human detectible of 40 cycles/s to 500 cycles/s (goes down to 3 or 4 cycles/s)
why does 2nd heart sound have higher frequency
tautness and greater elastic coefficient
3rd heart sound
wek rumble heard at beginning of middle third of diastole
reason for 3rd heart sound
oscillation of blood back anf forth btwn walls of verntricles (unproven)
4th heart sound
occurs when atria contract; caused by in-rush of blood into ventricles; almost never heard via stethoscope - less than 20 cycles/s
aortic valve ausculation area
right chest next to sternum under 2nd rib
how often is the 3rd heart sound recorded by phonocardiogram
1/3 to 1/2 of all people
how often is the 4th heart sound recorded by phonocardiogram
1/4 all people
rheumatic fever
autoimmune disease in which heart valves are likely to be damaged or destroyed
What is rheumatic fever generally initiated by
streptococcal toxin (group A hemolytic streptococci infection)
what is the degree of heart valve damage correlated with in rheumatic fever
concentration and persistence of antibodies
Why are mitral than aortic valve more vulnerable
more trauma during contraction
stenosis
valves adherant to one another so that blood can not flow through it normally
regurgitation
valve can not close
systolic murmur of aortic stenosis
high velocity through valve creates turbulence in root of aotra, which causes intense vibration and a loud murmur
diastolic murmur of aortic reguritation
backwards flow of blood causes a 'blowing' murmur of high pitch with a swishing quality
systolic murmur of mitral regurgitation
backwards flow through mitral valve; created blowing/swishing sound; transmitted most strongly into L atrium
diastolic murmur of mitral stenosis
weak and of very low frequency
compensations to reduced net stroke volume (in aortic stensosis or regurgitation)
hypertrophy of L ventricle, increase in blood volume
what occurs when L ventricle can not keep up with work load
pulmonary edema; serious edema at L atrial Ps of 25-40 mmHg
high L atrial P in mitral valve disease (stenosis or regurgitation) causes
enlargement of L atrium; predisposed patient to atrial fibrilation (circus movements)
what occurs as L atrial Ps rise in mitral valvular disease
pulmonary arteriolar constriction, daming of blood back to pulmonary artery, causes hypertrophy of R side of heart
exercise in patients with aortic valvular lesions
acute L ventricular failure followed by acute pulmonary edema
exercise in patients with mitral disease
damming of blood in lungs can cause serious/lethal pulmonary edema in as little as 10 minutes
3 major types of congenital abnormalities in vessels
1) stenosis 2) left-to-right shunt 3) right-to-left shunt
how often does the ductus arteriosus not close
1 out of 5500 babies
how much blood goes through the patent ductus arteriosis of an older child
1/2 to 2/3; blood is often better oxygenated in early life due to the number of times it passes through lungs
major effect of patient with patent ductus arteriosus
decreased cardiac and respiratory reserve
when does a patent ductus arteriosus become lethal if not corrected
btwn 20-40
murmur of patent ductus arteriosus by age
neonate: none or insignificant; 1-3 yrs: harsh, blowing murmur in pulmonary area of chest - called machinery murmur
Tetralogy of Fallot (right-to-left shunt)
1) aorta originates from R ventricle 2) pulmonary artery stenosed 3) L ventricular blood goes to R ventricle then aorta 4) R ventricle highly muscular
diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot
1) cyanotic 2) high systolic R ventricular pressure 3) radiological silhouette of heart 4) angiograms
life expectancy of corrected tetralogy of fallot vs uncorrected
50 yrs or more vs 3-4 yrs
most comon cause of congenital heart defects
viral infection of mother during 1st trimester (ex German measles)
methods of extracorporeal circulation
1) bubble oxygen through blood and remove bubbles 2) dripping blood over surface of plastic sheets with O2 3) pass blood over rotating discs 4) pass blood btwn thin membranes or tubes
2 theries of how heart hypertrophies
1) strength of contraction 2) increased metabolic rate
