Cone shaped
Tilted to the left
Mediastinum
LAYERS:
Pericardium- covered with sac, can be inflamed, can compress the heart
Pericardial space- with fluid, no friction
Epicardium
Myocardium – muscular, heart attack
Endocardium- inner, continuous to the valves of the heart
o Rheumatic heart disease- GABHS
o Valvular Damage
CHAMBERS
o Right Atrium
o Right Ventricle
o Left Atrium
o Left Ventricle
o AV VALVES – endocardium is damaged, LUB
Can damage the valves
Blood goes back and forth
Congestive heart failure
Tricuspid -right sided heart failure
Bicuspid- left sided heart failure, mitral
o Semilunar VALVES, DUB
Goes out in the aorta- aortic valve
Pulmonic valve
o LUB DUB IS NORMAL
o Extra heart sound- abnormal
Coronary Arteries
o On top of the heart
o If there is obstruction, can remove and touch the vessels
o RCA and LCA
o Supplies blood to the heart
o Oxygenated blood
o Left circumflex
o Rca- r marginal, posterior interventricular
o Can become obstructed
o Blood Clot and Fat
o Atheroclerosis – Fat, anticholesterol drugs
o Blood Clot- Thrombus, anti coagulant
CORONARY CICULATION
o Blood goes to the heart greatest at relaxed, reduced during contraction (systole)
o Rapid contraction interfere with blood supply
o Increase hr = increased heart attack
o No aerobic exercise, small frequent feedings (metabloism increases hr)
o Incrased hr= increased demand for oxygen
o Heart attack- engage in sex, exert effort, increase hr,
o SNS – increased hr
o A1- increased bp
o B1- increased heart rate
o Anastomoses- rca and lca
Obstruction in any artery Develops other blood vessels
Collateral circulation
Alternative source of blood
So no lost of blood supply
Exercise develops collateral circulation
o RCA- supplies the r side, inferior part of left ventricle
SA NODE (pacemaker of the heart, 60-100), AV NODE – contained by right
atrium
SA Node is damaged- come form the av node (40-60 hr)
Not enough circulation, dizziness
Hr is too slow= faster
Hr is too fast= slower
BLOCKAGE
Conducation disturbances
o LCA – anterior walls of the ventricles, anterior spetum, bundle branches (goes to the
right and left side) goes to the prukinje fibers (in the ventricle, if damages av and sa, 20 -
40)
o Dizziness and Light headedness
o L circumflex- left atrium, lateral and posterior walls of AV
o Heart rate slow- impaired tissue perfusion, no blood supply
Place a pace maker, more heart rate
o LCA is damaged
Left v- to systemic circiulation
Right v- to pulmonary
Impair the pumping ability
Most common that gets obstructed
CARDIAC CYCLE
o Alternating sequence
o Atrium needs to pump for ALL THE blood to go down
o If systolic blood plresseure is high= heart is always contarcting
o Diastole
PULSE
o Indicates theheart rate
o Ventricular systole- expands the artery
o Blood volume = determines the pressure
o When it contracts it pushes the blood
o Apical pulse- PMI (point of maximal impulse)
If patient has cardiomegaly, difference in the location of PMI
o Pulse deficit- difference in apical and radial
Thready – weak pulse, volume low
Bounding – feel without touch, vlomue high
Apical Pulse
Rate of the heart measured at the site
If giving a cardiac drug- must be apical pulse
CARDIAC OUTPUT
o Blood ejected Left ventricle/ per min
o 5-6L per minutes
o Stroke volume times HR
o If in shock- decreased CO
o Stroke volume- the blood ejected per heart beat
o Heart is trenched—the force of contraction- the more it pumps- the more force
o VOLUME EQUALS PRESSURE
o AFFECTS CO
Pre load- venous return
Rgoes back to the heart, right side, SVC, IVC
Determines cardiac output
If konti ang bumalik, mkonti ang lalabas
Afterload- resistanct to left ventricular resistance (peripheral resistance)
Must be low, so that the resistance is low
Heart rate
Is too high- increased contraction, no oxygen
Is too low- impaired circulation, no blood
VASCULAR SYSTEM
o Arteries- oxygenated blood
Tunica intima- inner, endoloithial
Tunica media – middle, smooth muscle, cause constriction and dilation
Tunica adventitia – outer
o Arterioles- deoxygenated blood
o Capillaries
AUTOREGULATION
o Self regulate
o If my blood suplly is impaired- it will compensate
It will regulate itself
o Localized vasodilation – not much blood
o Vasoconstriction- if loosing blood
o REFLEX ADJUSTMENT
o Acidosis, hypoxia, release of histamine, hypercapnia
Vasodilattion
o NORE, EPI, ANGIOTENSISN
Vasoconstrict
