1.
atherosclerosis: condition in which fatty deposits called plaque build up on the inner walls of the arteries
2.
blood flow through heart: vena cava, r atrium, tricuspid valve, r ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, lungs - drop off CO2 and pick up O2, pulmonary veins, l atrium, biscuspid valve (mitral valve), l ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, aortic branches (arterioles) to the rest of the body
-in right, out left
-80 pushing in (keeps valves shut); over 80 pushing out (opens valves)
3.
conductions system of the heart: -2 pacemakers (SA node; AV node)
-atriums open during fill up
-right bundle branch
-right ventricle
-purkinje fibers
-left ventricle
-left bundle branch
-left atrium
-bundle of his
4.
diastolic: The blood pressure during that part of the heartbeat when the hearts venticles are relaxing.
-realxation/at rest
-filling up
-tricuspid & mitral valve open up
5.
EKG: a graphical recording of the cardiac cycle produced by an electrocardiograph
-P-wave= atrial depolarization (QRS)
-no QRS=block between atrium & ventricle
-wide QRS= electrical signal is slowing down; longer for depolarization when electrolytes are off (sodium/potassium)
6.
heart sounds: -1st heart sound, "lub" occurs when atrioventricular valves close; AV valves closing; tricuspid & mitral valve
-2nd heart sound, "dub" occurs when semilunar valve colses; pulmonic & aorta closing
7.
normal intracardiac pressures: -right atrium: 4mmHg; range: 0-8 mmHg
-right ventricle
systolic: 24 mmHg; range: 15-28 mmHg
end -diastolic: 4 mmHg; range: 4-12 mmHg
-left atrium: 7 mmHg; range: 4-12 mmHg
-left ventricle
systolic: 130 (peak) mmHg; range: 90-140 mmHg
end-diastolic: 7 mmHg; range: 4-12 mmHg
8.
QRS-wave: ventricular depolarization
-goes more positive
-sodium goes in; calcium channels open up, poors in spikes up
9.
symptoms of heart attack: -chest discomfort
-pain in back, neck, left arm, middle back, possibility shoulder, stomach, jaw
10.
systolic: measurement of blood pressure taken when the heart is contracting and forcing blood into the arteries
-starts to contract
-aortic & pulmonary valve open up
11.
T-wave: ventricular repolarization
-goes back to negative
