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
|
