heart sound? Due to the increased capacitance of the pulmonary vascular bed P2 closure can be delayed causing a 2 distinct sounds to be heard. In an adult it is heard during inspiration only.
split S2 = A2 and P2 inspiration - S1 A2 P2 Expiriration - S1 S2
P-wave
atrial depolarization
QRS wave
ventricular depolarization
Q wave
downward deflection from septal depolarization
R wave
upward deflection from ventricular depolarization
S wave
downward deflection following R wave
T wave
ventricular repolarization
CARDIAC OUPUT
= HEART RATE X STROKE VOLUME
STROKE VOLUME =
VOLUME OF BLOOD EJECTED WITH EACH HEART BEAT DEPENDS ON THREE CRITICAL FACTORS:
THE LOAD THAT STRETCHES THE CARDIAC MUSCLE BEFORE CONTRACTION
PRELOAD
ABILITY OF THE CARDIAC MUSCLE TO SHORTEN
MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTILITY
DEGREE OF VASCULAR RESISTANCE TO VENTRICULAR CONTRACTION (TONE OF THE WALLS OF AORTA- LARGE ARTERIES AND PERIPHERAL VASC TREE)
AFTERLOAD
Pathologic increases in Preload is called ?
volume overload
Pathologic increases in Afterload is called
pressure overload
peak pressure in the cardiac cycle
Systolic Blood Pressure
lowest trough IN BP
Diastolic Blood Pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressures
Pulse Pressure
Principle factors influencing BP
1. LV stroke volume 2. Distensibility of Aorta 3. Peripheral Vasc Resistance 4. Vol of blood in Art. System
When does venous pressure fall
when LV output is low - hypovolumia
Pressure in the jugular veins reflects _____ ________pressure (also known as ________ __________ Pressure)
R. atrial - Central Venous
IJ pulsations consists of 2 peaks and 2 troughs
•a wave rise in atrial pressure seen in atrial contraction just before 1st heart sound and carotid pulse •x descent atrial relaxation and ventricular contraction •v wave when tricuspid valve closes and the R. atrium begins to fill the pressure rises •y wave tricuspid valve opens blood flows into the R. ventricle and pressure falls
JUGULAR VENOUS WAVES a wave ->______ contraction -> D or S x wave atrial relaxation systole v wave atrial filling diastole y wave atrial emptying diastole
atrial - D
JUGULAR VENOUS WAVES x wave ->______ ________ -> D or S
atrial relaxation - S
JUGULAR VENOUS WAVES V wave ->______ ________ -> D or S
atrial filling diastole
JUGULAR VENOUS WAVES y wave ->______ ________ -> D or S
atrial emptying diastole
All of the follow are generally described as: myocardium- pericardium- Aorta- trachea- large bronchi- parietal pleura- esophagus- chest wall- neck- gallbladder- stomach.
Chest pain
normal BP
120 / 80
pre-hypertension BP
systolic 120-139mmHg or diastolic 80-90mmHG
how is carotid pulse described
-Quality of upstroke -Amplitude strength of upstroke -Contour speed of upstroke duration and summit- speed of down stroke -Thrills or bruits Diaphragm or bell
4 components of heart exam
inspection - palpatation - percusssion - ausculation
PALPATE POINT OF MAXIMUM IMPULSE
Place patient in supine or L. lateral decubitus Location: usually in 5th ICS in MCL Diameter: usually 2.5 cm Amplitude: small brisk Duration: takes up to 2/3 of systole.
parasternal lift or heave can be apparent
RVH
when would it be helpful to percuss the heart
IN OBESE OR LARGE A-P DIAMETER PATIENTS
4 main areas to listen to when auscultation of the heart
1. R. 2nd ICS aortic post 2. L. 2nd ICS pulmonic post 3. L. lower sternal border 4th ICS tricuspid valve 4. L. midclavicular line 5th ICS mitral valve
What part of the stetheoscope is used for high pitched sounds press firmly against the chest S1- S2- AI- MR- clicks- Ej- OS- friction rubs
diaphragm
What part of the stetheoscope is used for low pitched- light pressure
Bell
When ascultating the heart when is the diaphram of the stethoscope uses?
when listening for S1 and S2
When ascultating the heart when is the bell of the stethoscope uses
lower left sternal boarder and apex of heart
when pt lyies in left lateral decubitus positon what does that indicate?
aortic insufficiency murmur or S3 and S4.
What do the following relate to? Timing Shape Location Radiation Intensity Pitch Quality
7 attributes of heart murmurs
falls between S1 and S2 ( murmurs that coincide with carotid upstroke)
systolic
falls btween S2 and S1
diastolic
Where are mumurs located?
-Sternal -Apex -Midclavicular line -Midaxillary line
How is a murmur transmitted (radiation)?
carotids- axilla- non-radiating
how is the quality of a murmur described
-blowing -harsh -rumbling -musical
what inc mumur of HCOM and dec mumur of Aortic Stenosis (S)?
standing and Valsalva maneuver
How does standing and Valsalva maneuver effect mitral valuve prolapse?
move the click heard in Mitral Valve Prolapse earlier in systole and the murmur would lengthen. The decrease in LV volume would increase the prolapse and increase the click sound. Squatting would do the opposite.
What increases the intensity of the murmur?
standing and Valsalva maneuver
caused by: CARDIAC TAMPONADE AND COPD
PULSES PARADOXICUS
How is a PULSES PARADOXICUS performed?
1. Inflate cuff 30mmHg above when pulse disappears 2. Slowly deflate cuff listening for the korotkoff sounds 3. Watch patient inspire and look for a drop greater than 10mmHg
-Seen in Constrictive Pericarditis -Look for filling of IJ with inspiration. -Would expect to see flattening of the jugular veins in inspiration due to a decrease in intrathoracic pressure.
KUSSMALS SIGN
YOU (WILL or WILL NOT) GET A KUSSMALS SIGN IN CARDIAC TAMPONADE
will not
type of split S2? delayed closure of Pulm Valve- RBBB- Pulm stenosis- Mitral regurgitation
wide split
what type of split S2? doesn’t vary with respiration ASD- RV failure
fixed split
-High pitched sound -Use diaphragm to listen -Present in 5% of people -Location: apex L. lower sternal border
systolic click
-Can be normal in children and young adults up to the age of 40 -Normal to hear in pregnancy -Pathologic sound in older patients-due to decrease in myocardial contractility -An early diastolic sound -Dull low pitched sound use Bell of stethoscope -“Kentucky” galloping sound -Classic clinical scenario-Congestive Heart Failure
S3
-Can be normal in esp. in trained athletes and in older age. -More commonly heard in pathologic heart- increased resistance to ventricular filling due to decreased compliance of the L. ventricle -Occurs just before S1 (late diastole) -Dull- low in pitch- heard better with bell of stethoscope -“Tennessee” galloping sound -Classical clinical scenario is s/p Myocardial Infarction
S4
