b- isometric relaxation
c- end diastolic pressure
d- slow filling phase \u2714\u2714B. The systolic pulse is divided by a midsystolic dip indicating a sudden
ejection followed by increased resistance and then secondary release.
End-diastolic stretching of the ventricular muscle fibers is termed:
a- preload
b- afterload
c- inotropism
d- chronotropism \u2714\u2714Preload refers to the filling of the ventricular chambers in diastole
The greatest expenditure of O2 during the cardiac cycle is used to:
a- open the aortic valve (isometric contraction)
b- open the mitral valve (diastolic filling)
c- eject blood out of the LV and into the AO (SEP)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of IABP is to lower the pressure at which the aortic valve opens, which decreases pressure work.
This pressure work account for 90% of the work done by the LV
Which of the following is a common result of right sided heart failure?
a- dyspnea
b- pulmonary congestion
c- pulmonary hypertension
d- neck vein distension \u2714\u2714When the right side of the heart fails the RA and systemic veins
become engorged with blood. Pulmonary hypertension is only a compensation to left sided
failure
Which of the following is NOT a clinical manifestation of shock?
a- pallor
b- metabolic acidosis
c- slow bounding pulse
d- falling blood pressure \u2714\u2714Slow bounding pulse. Tachycardia usually results to compensate for
decreased tissue perfusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the pressure as blood enters the right atrium?
5mmHg
What organ system in the body acts on the blood in the vessels to make a pressure of 5mmHg?
Deep skeletal muscle pump system
What pressure is the blood under as it goes from the RA through the tricuspid valve?
5mmHg
The bigger the diameter of the valve the _<\/em><\/strong> pressure is needed to move blood across it.
Less
The smaller the diameter of the valve the<\/em><\/strong> pressure is needed to move blood across it.
more
What is the largest valve in the heart?
tricuspid valve
What is the normal right ventricular systolic pressure?
25mmHg
How much smaller is the pulmonic valve than the tricuspid valve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pulmonic valve.
Which valve has a bigger diameter, the tricuspid or pulmonic valve?
Tricuspid
Which valve requires more pressure to move across it, the tricuspid or the pulmonic?
pulmonic
Valve A requires 5mmHg to move blood and valve B requires 30mmHg. Which valve has a
smaller diameter?
Valve B
What is the right ventricular diastolic pressure?
5mmHg
What is the RV EDP?
5mmHg
Why is the RV EDP not zero?
Because some blood is not ejected out. The heart is not a perfectly efficient pump.
What is a normal RV ejection fraction?
55-60%
What is EDP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in the ventricle is under a resting (diastolic) pressure.
What is a normal diastolic pressure in the pulmonary artery?
7-12mmHg
What is the normal left atrial pressure?
7-12mmHg
What is the normal O2 concentration of a RBC leaving the lungs?
98%
What is the normal O2 concentration of a RBC when it returns to the RA?
70%
How much O2 is a RBC able to give up to the organs?
30% of its O2
True\/False: If someone has a higher EDP there is less damage to the heart.
False, the higher the EDP the more damage. More blood is being left and not pumped out.
What is a normal wedge pressure?
7-12mmHg
If the RBCs go through the lungs faster than 7-12mmHg what happens?
The RBCs have less time to get the O2 needed to fill them up fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
