| cardiac output | vol of blood pumped out of the heart in one minute |
| blood pressure | blood pushes against the walls of the vessels |
| resistance | force that opposes the flow of blood |
| vasoconstriction | greater resistance |
| vasodilation | lower resistance |
| mean arterial pressure | blood in the arteries over the entire cardiac cycle |
| dog bp | 120/70 sys/dias |
| cat bp | 140/90 sys/dias |

| ductus venosus | umbilical vein to the vena cava bypassing liver |
| foramen ovale | opening in septum between RA and LA bypass pulmonary circulation/closes after birth |
| ductus arteriosus | vess conn pulmonary artery an aorta, 2nd route for bypassing pulmonary circ; becomes the ligamentum arteriosum after birth |
| lympatic circulation | lymph filtration, removal of foreign particles, lymphocytes, absorb and transport of fats, return of intercellular fluids |
| cardiovascular disease | weakness or exercise intolerence, syncope, arrhythmia, pulmonary congestion, ascites, edema |
| syncope | loss of consciousness due to lack of blood flow to brain |

| dyspnea | Difficult or labored breathing; shortness of breath |
| ascites | fluid accumulation in abdominal cavity |
| edema | fluid accumulation in intercellular spaces of tissue |
| PExam | MM, CRT, Jugular veins (distension, pulsing > 1/3) Pulse |
| Cardiac Ausculation | stethoscope, heart sounds, rate, rhythm, pulmonary sounds |
| Lub | 2 a-v valves at the same time |
| Dub | closure of the pulmonic and aortic semilunar valves |
| Murmurs grading | I - VI |
| murmurs | sounds caused by turbulence in the blood stream; leaking heart valves, enlarged hearts |
| machinery murmur | patent ductus arteriosus (ductus arteriosus does not close at birth |
| ECG | measure the depolarization of the heart |
| radiography | 2 views; DV and Right lateral |
| Echocardiography | is a diagnostic test which uses ultrasound waves to make images of the heart chambers, valves and surrounding structures |
| Heart failure | cardiac arrest |
| valve disease | mitral usual |
| thyrotoxicosis | hyperthyroidism |
| heartworm disease | blocks vessels |
| infection | bacteria; virus |
| dietary | carnitine (responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria.) taurine (Taurine is essential for cat health, as a cat cannot synthesize the compound) taurine deficiency can cause feline dilated cardiomyopathy |
| hypertension | high blood pressure |
| Sinus arrhythmia | bradycardia tachycardia |
| DCM | dialted cardiomyopathy; common in large breed dogs, loss of contractility of heart muscle, chambers become dilated |
| thromboemblosim | Formation in a blood vessel of a clot (thrombus) that breaks loose and is carried by the blood stream to plug another vessel. intravascular |
| embolism | The obstruction of a blood vessel by a foreign substance or a blood clot blocking the vessel. Something travels through the bloodstream, lodges in a vessel and plugs it. distall |
| aneurysm | An aneurysm is a localized widening (dilatation) of an artery, vein, or the heart. |
| HCM | hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cats, walls of heart become less pliable, left ventricle usual, decrease cardiac output, secondary to hyperthyroidism |

| atropine, glycopyrrolate | anticholinergics, block vagal effect, increase heart rate |
| isoproterenol | sympathomimetic; mimics effect of the sympathetic nervous sys, similar to epinephrine |
| epinephrine | Technically speaking, epinephrine is a sympathomimetic catecholamine. It causes quickening of the heart beat, strengthens the force of the heart's contraction, opens up the airways (bronchioles) in the lungs and has numerous other effects. The secretion o |
| beta blockers | Beta blockers are a class of drugs that block beta-adrenergic substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine), a key agent in the "sympathetic" portion of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system and activation of heart muscle. |
