Question
Answer
CHF effect on risk of sudden heart failure death:   increases risk x8  
🗑
lifetime risk devt of A-fib   1 in 4  
🗑
Most common causes of heart failure:   Ischemic cardiomyopathy; Valvular cardiomyopathy; Hypertensive cardiomyopathy (diastolic non-compliant CHF more common in hypertension than Systolic (end stage hypertensive dz))  
🗑
Structural causes of heart dz   myocardial dz; pericardial dz  
🗑
Types of myocardial dz   Cardiomyopathy; myocarditis  
🗑
3 functional categories of cardiomyopathy   dilated; hypertrophic; restrictive  
🗑
3 types of myocarditis   infectious; toxic; idiopathic  
🗑
3 types of pericardial dz   Pericarditis; Pericardial effusion / tamponade; Pericardial constriction  
🗑
CHF risk factors   Age; Hypertension; Tobacco abuse; Diabetes mellitus; Obesity; ETOH/Substance abuse  
🗑
CHF precipitators   Coronary artery dz/MI; Valvular or congenital heart dz; Hypertension….diastolic dysfn; ETOH/substance abuse; Viral Infxns; PG; Idiopathic  
🗑
Most common causes of heart failure:   Ischemic cardiomyopathy; Valvular cardiomyopathy; Hypertensive cardiomyopathy  
🗑
Which type of non-compliant CHF is more common in HTN?   Diastolic more than Systolic (end stage hypertensive dz)  
🗑
What precipitates conduction system problems?   Coronary artery dz/MI (ischemia induced); congenital; anything that causes CHF  
🗑
Deoxygenated blood draining from the heart itself enters the right atrium via:   the coronary sinus & thebesian veins  
🗑
Second most common cause of sudden death in young adults   Anomalous coronary arteries (4-15% of young people with sudden cardiac death); 1-2% of population  
🗑
Which valves do/do not have chordae/papillary mx?   AV valves do; semilunar valves do not  
🗑
period of ventricular contraction   systole  
🗑
period of ventricular relaxation   diastole  
🗑
the load that stretches the cardiac muscle prior to contraction   preload  
🗑
the resistance against which the left ventricle must contract   afterload  
🗑
ability of cardiac muscle to shorten, when given a load   myocardial contractility  
🗑
myocardial contractility is increased by:   sympathetic stimulation/action  
🗑
myocardial contractility is decreased by:   myocardial injury  
🗑
afterload comprises:   blood volume/viscosity; resistance in aorta & other peripheral vessels  
🗑
Preload is increased by:   inspiration or increasing venous return to right heart)  
🗑
Amount of blood remaining after ejection:   end systolic volume  
🗑
In diastole, _____% of ventricular filling occurs before atrial contraction   80  
🗑
SV=   EDV (end diastolic volume) – ESV (end systolic volume)  
🗑
CO =   HR x SV (normal about 5 L/min)  
🗑
Adult normal cardiac blood volumes:   SV=70ml, EDV=135ml, ESV=65ml, CO=5L total blood  
🗑
volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during one minute   Cardiac output  
🗑
volume of blood ejected with each heartbeat   Stroke volume  
🗑
Starling’s Law:   SV increases as the EDV increases  
🗑
Ejection Fraction formula:   EF% = SV/EDV  
🗑
A quantitative measure of contractility   Ejection Fraction  
🗑
Normal EF   67% (at DUMC: >55%)  
🗑
Annulus:   fibrous ring surrounding each of the 4 cardiac valves; fn: to provide structural support to the heart  
🗑
narrowing or obstruction to forward flow while valve is open   Stenosis  
🗑
backward leakage during time when valve is closed   Regurgitation / Insufficiency  
🗑
S1 = _____ valve closing   Mitral (Systole)  
🗑
S2 = _____ valve closing   Aortic valve closing (diastole)  
🗑
S3 may indicate:   CHF (sounds like: Ken-Tuc-Key)  
🗑
S4 may indicate:   HTN or CAD (sounds like: Tenn-es-see)  
🗑
Which heart sound is always pathological?   S4  
🗑
Left & right coronary arteries arise from what part of the aortic root?   Sinuses of Valsalva  
🗑
Branches off the left main coronary artery   LAD; Left circumflex  
🗑
Right Dominant: Septum supplied by:   Distal branches from RCA (supply the septum 70%)  
🗑
Left Dominant: Septum supplied by:   Distal branches from LCx (supply the septum 20%)  
🗑
SA Node is supplied by:   RCA 60% of the time & by LCX 40% of the time  
🗑
AV node supplied by:   dominant artery (RCA or LCx)  
🗑
small vascular channels that interconnect the normal coronary arteries   Collateral Vessels  
🗑
Function of collateral vessels in normal myocardium   Nonfunctional because no pressure gradient is present  
🗑
S/S of conduction problems   palpitations; dizziness; presyncope/ syncope  
🗑
Myocardial dz categories   Cardiomyopathy; Myocarditis  
🗑
DM increases risk/incidence of:   Diffuse dz; small vessel dz; CHF & death rates post MI; death or MI post CABG & PCI  
🗑
Recommended for sedentary lifestyle   Devoted exercise 30 min/day, 5 d/wk; initially under med supervision  
🗑
Causes of noncardiac CP   Pericarditis; myocarditis; MVP; chostocondritis; C- or T-spine dz/thoracic outlet; GI/gall bladder; PE; pneumonia; pneumothorax  
🗑
Pericardium anatomy   complex = outer fibrous layer (flask-shaped tough outer sac connected at diaphragm, sternum, and costal cartilage) and inner serous layer  
🗑
