Question
Answer
normal hgb   males 14-16 females 12-14  
🗑
cardiac output   the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each contraction  
🗑
cardiac output =   heart rate x stroke volume average 5L/min range 4-8L/min  
🗑
heart rate   number of beats per minute  
🗑
stroke volume   amount of blood that enters the arteries with each contraction  
🗑
apex   bottom of heart  
🗑
base   top of heart  
🗑
great vessels of the heart   superior and inferior vena cava, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, aorta  
🗑
Left lung   two lobes  
🗑
right lung   three lobes  
🗑
low pressure vessels   veins  
🗑
high pressure vessels   arteries  
🗑
The thickest cardiac muscle   left ventricle  
🗑
Conductive pathway "Plan A"   SA Node (sino atrial) located in right atria. electrical impulses cause heart muscle to depolaraize (contract) in the SA Node. 60-100 times/min  
🗑
the pacemaker of the heart   SA Node  
🗑
Conductive pathway "Plan B"   AV Node (atrial ventricular) beats 40-60/min. may not be enough. may feel lightheaded, dizzy.  
🗑
conductive pathway "Plan C"   Bundle of His 20-40 beats/min. not enough. will need pacemaker, meds.  
🗑
P Wave   beginning of heart rate. right and left atrial contraction/depolarization starts here sending blood to ventricles.  
🗑
PR interval   allowing ventricles to fill  
🗑
QRS   ventricle depolarization. ventricles are contracting.  
🗑
T wave   ventricle repolarization/relaxing  
🗑
no reflection   atrial repolarization/relaxation  
🗑
dialostic   repolarization  
🗑
systolic   depolarization/contraction  
🗑
first heart sound   S1 systole. lubb sound  
🗑
second heart sound   S2 diastole. longer than systole.  
🗑
third heart sound   S3 heard in diastole in kids and young adults. use bell. called ventricular gallop  
🗑
fourth heart sound   S4 heard in late diastole/early systole. called atrial gallop  
🗑
S&S of right side heart failure   swelling, edema, distended veins, feet swelling during the day  
🗑
S&S of left side heart failure   SOB, increase resp rate  
🗑
location of aortic valve   right of sternum 2nd ics.  
🗑
location of pulmonic valve   left of sternum 2nd ics  
🗑
location of tricuspid valve   left of sternum 5th ics  
🗑
location of bicuspid(mitral) valve   left of sternum 5th ics, medial to midclavicular line. (apical pulse)  
🗑
oxygenated blood is found here   arteries. flow away from heart.  
🗑
dexoygenated blood is found here   veins. flow back to heart.  
🗑
point of maximal impulse (PMI)   apical pulse. in apex of heart.  
🗑
grading pulses: 0, 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+   non palapable, weak, normal, full, bounding(may indicate heart condition)  
🗑
pulse deficit   diff between apical and radial pulse.  
🗑
JVD Juglar Vein Distention on right side may indicate   CHF. If bulging with head elevated a + finding.  
🗑
vasoconstriction   vessels getting smaller. b/p increases  
🗑
vasodilation   vessels getting bigger. b/p decreases  
🗑
innervates heart through vagus nerve. supplies sa node, atrial muscle fibers, and av node. causes heart rate to slow down   parasympathetic  
🗑
fight or flight. supplies all areas of atria and ventricles. causes heart to speed up.   sympathetic  
🗑
located in walls of carotid sinus and aortic arch. detects b/p changes   baroreceptors(pressorreceptors)  
🗑
angina   decreased o2 to heart  
🗑
pericarditis   heart sac inflamation  
🗑
activity tolerance classification.   class I, class II, class III, class IV  
🗑
class I   has heart disease. asymptomatic  
🗑
class II   slight limitations. no distress at rest.  
🗑
class III   significant limitation. no distress at rest but low intensity activity causes palpations,sob, etc.  
🗑
class IV   symptoms at rest. any activity aggravates symptoms.  
🗑
pulmonic chest pain   pleuritic pain. sharp knife-like. related to lungs.  
🗑
claudication   intermittent sharp cramping in legs after activity. ischemia, atherosclerosis  
🗑
fatigue   low energy levels  
🗑
weakness   decreased muscular strength  
🗑
SOB   shortness of breath. dyspnea. can be cardiac, psychogenic, respiratory  
🗑
self care abilities   0, I, II, III, IV  
🗑
self care 0   pt can do everything for self  
🗑
self care I   pt needs help with equipment ie walker, cane...  
🗑
self care II   pt needs help of one person  
🗑
self care III   pt needs help of one person and equipment.  
🗑
self care IV   totally dependent on others.  
🗑
