1
Q

During which phase (systole or diastole) are the AV valves closed to prevent the backflow of blood?

A

systole

2
Q

True or False: AV valves open and close passively are are wimpy like Brainy from Hey Arnold.

A

True.

breathes breathes breathes

3
Q

True or False: the papillary muscles help the AV valves close via the chordae tendinae.

A

FALSE. The AV valves are passive.

4
Q

So what’s the fxn of the papillary muscles?

A

They pull the vanes of the valves inwards towards the ventricles to prevent their buldging too far backward into the atria.

5
Q

What % of blood flows into the ventricles PASSIVELY from the atria?

A

80%

6
Q

What causes the additional 20% of the ejected blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles?

A

atrial contraction

7
Q

Rapid ventricular filling (passively) occurs how long in the filling phase?

A

first 1/3

8
Q

What causes the “a” wave on the atrial pressures?

A

“a”trial contraction

9
Q

What causes the “c” wave on the atrial pressures?

A

‘c”losure of the AV valves

10
Q

What causes the “v” wave on the atrial pressures?

A

“v”entricular contraction

11
Q

This is the period where the ventricles are actively contracting but there is no ejection.

A

Isovolumetric contraction

12
Q

After the ventricles get a pressure higher than the aorta, blood is squirted into the aorta, leading to this phase.

A

Rapid ejection phase.

13
Q

After the blood is squirted itno the aorta, the pressures are higher than the LV, closing the aortic valve, and leading to this phase of the cardiac cycle.

A

Isovolumetric relaxation

14
Q

What causes the S1?

A

Closure of the AV valves

15
Q

What electrical disordere can cause S1 to split?

A

RBBB

16
Q

Conditions that shorten the PR interval (MS, high CO or tachycardia) can cause which one: accentuated or reduced S1?

A

Accentuated

17
Q

Which conditions can prolong the PR interval, causing a reduced S1 sound?

A

1st degree AV block, MR, MS, stiff LV

18
Q

What causes the late pulmonic closure to cause the splitting of S2?

A

expansion of the chest during inspiration creates a negative pressure in the chest –> increased capacitance of the pulmonary vessels –> delay in diastolic back pressure onto pulomary valve –> P2 delayed

19
Q

What causes the early atrial valve closure to cause the splitting of S2?

A

increased capacity of intrahtoracic veins from neg pressure –> reduced venous return to LA and LV –> reduced LV filling –> shortened LV filling –> early A2 during inspiration

20
Q

The intensity of S2 depends on what factor of the blood?

A

velocity

21
Q

RBBB or PS can cause what abnormal splitting of S2?

A

Widened splitting

22
Q

ASD can cause what abnormal splitting of S2?

A

Fixed splitting

23
Q

LBBB or AS can cause what abnormal splitting of S2?

A

Paradoxical splitting

24
Q

Where in the the cardiac cycle is S3 found?

A

Early diastole

“Ken——tuck–y”

25
Q

Is S3 sharp or dull?

A

dull

26
Q

What causes S3?

A

tensing of the chordae tendineae during rapid filling and expansion of the ventricle.

like plucking a guitar string… bongggggg

27
Q

True or False: S3 is normal in kids and young adults cuz the ventricle is supple and capable of rapid expansion.

A

True

28
Q

Contraction of the atria against a stiffened ventricle can cause what heart sound?

A

S4

29
Q

Where in diastole does S4 occur?

A

Late diastole

30
Q

What are the characteristics of a 1/6 grade murmur?

A

barely audible

31
Q

What are the characteristics of a 2/6 grade murmur?

A

faint but immediately audible

32
Q

What are the characteristics of a 3/6 grade murmur?

A

easily heard

33
Q

What are the characteristics of a 4/6 grade murmur?

A

easily heard with palpable thrill

34
Q

What are the characteristics of a 5/6 grade murmur?

A

very loud with stethoscope light on chest

35
Q

What are the characteristics of a 6/6 grade murmur?

A

audible without the stethoscope on the chest

36
Q

What are the 3 ways to decrease the preload to the heart?

A

valsalva, sitting–>stranding, amyl nitrate

37
Q

What are the 5 ways to increase the preload to the heart?

A

standing–>squatting, passive leg elevation, Muller, isometric hand grip, vasopressors

38
Q

What are the 3 systolic ejection murmurs?

A
  1. aortic/pulmonary stenosis
  2. HCM
  3. innocent murmurs
39
Q

Where is the radiation in AS?

A

carotids

40
Q

Does HCM murmurs get louder or quieter if you decrease preload?

A

Louder

41
Q

Why are innocent murmurs “innocent?”

A

theyre just high-flow states like youth, pregnancy, fever, anemia, hyperthyroidism, etc.

42
Q

What are the 3 pansystolic murmurs?

A
  1. MR
  2. TR
