Study Notes
Heart Rate and Rhythm
- Apex (Mitral) heart rate depends on age
- Normal rhythm is regular, with S1 and S2 sounds
- S1 is high-pitched and short in duration, with no extra sounds
- Physiological S3 and S4 may be heard in children and young adults without heart disease
Deviations from Normal
- Bradycardia: rates 60 BPM or less
- Tachycardia: rates 100 BPM or more
- Irregular rhythm: Arrhythmia
- Quadruple rhythm: S3 S4 with fast rate, also known as a summation gallop
Common Abnormalities
- Angina Pectoris: chest pain resulting from myocardial ischemia, accompanied by anxiety, diaphoresis, dyspnea, tachycardia, and pulsus alternans
- Congestive Heart Failure: failure of the heart to pump sufficiently to meet the demands of the body, can be right, left, or both
Cardiovascular System
- The cardiovascular system plays an important role in the body, delivering oxygenated blood and removing waste products
- The autonomic nervous system controls how the heart pumps
- The vascular network carries blood throughout the body, keeps the heart filled with blood, and maintains blood pressure
The Heart
- The heart is a cone-shaped muscle with four chambers, located centrally in the chest behind the sternum
- It is about the size of a clenched fist, weighing 250-390g in adult males and 200-275g in adult females
- The heart pumps blood throughout the circulatory system
Heart Chambers, Valves, and Circulatory Flow
- The heart has four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle
- The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, while the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
- The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation
- The heart has four valves: tricuspid, bicuspid (mitral), pulmonic semilunar, and aortic semilunar
Heart Sounds
- Heart sounds are produced by valve closure, with S1 and S2 being the normal sounds
- S1 is the "lub" sound, resulting from closure of the atrioventricular valves, and correlates with the beginning of systole
- S2 is the "dubb" sound, resulting from closure of the semilunar valves, and correlates with the beginning of diastole
- Extra heart sounds include S3 and S4, which are diastolic filling sounds, and murmurs, which are audible and prolonged sounds resulting from turbulent blood flow
