Question
Answer
What is the pathway of blood flow through the Heart?   show
🗑
What is the order of valves in the heart?   show
🗑
show Aortic (R 2nd), Pulmonic (L 2nd), Tricuspid (L 4th), Mitral-Apex-Apical (L 5th)  
🗑
show 4th and 5th intercostal space (easier to hear if pt is on their L side)  
🗑
show Laterally  
🗑
What is preload?   show
🗑
show the pressure in aorta and peripheral artery that the L Vent has to pump against to get blood out of heart to body. Increased BP is added resistance that L Vent has to pump against.  
🗑
If you increase the volume going back to heart (preload) what does that due to workload?   show
🗑
show CHF and PE- if you increase after load this decreases CO and wears out heart muscle.  
🗑
show SV=HRxSV -tissue perfusion -changes dep on bodes needs (if your HR inc then your SV with inc and then your CO will inc) -HR (if D or I too much CO drop) -BV (less volume less CO) -D contractibility (meds, MI, Muscle Dz)
