Study Notes
Learning Outcomes
- Understand margins and surfaces of the heart.
- Identify morphological features of cardiac valves.
- Relate surface anatomy of the heart and valves to patient examination and radiograph interpretation.
- Explain differences between auscultation points and surface projections of heart valves.
- Describe functional anatomy of heart chambers.
- Recognize significance of fibrous skeleton in cardiac function.
- Explain clinical relevance of papillary muscles and chordae tendineae.
- Identify cardiac borders on chest X-ray and other anatomical structures in medical imaging.
Circulation
- Pulmonary circulation: Right heart pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs, low pressure (12-16 mmHg).
- Systemic circulation: Left heart pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body, high pressure (70-120 mmHg).
Heart Surfaces
- Sternocostal (anterior), Diaphragmatic (inferior), and Base (posterior).
- Apex location: Left 5th intercostal space at the mid-clavicular line.
- Cardiac impression reflects position within thoracic cavity.
Heart Margins
- Right margin: Right atrium.
- Left margin: Left ventricle and left auricle.
- Inferior margin: Right and left ventricles.
Heart Chambers and Septa
- Right heart: Comprises right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV).
- Left heart: Comprises left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV).
- Septa: Interatrial (IA), interventricular (IV), and atrioventricular (AV) septa.
Atria Anatomy
- Right atrium: Forms most right margin; includes superior/inferior venae cavae and coronary sinus.
- Left atrium: Base of the heart with smooth walls; receives pulmonary veins.
Atrial Valves and Features
-
Right atrium:
- SVC opening: No valve; located behind the right 3rd costal cartilage.
- IVC opening: Has a valve.
- Coronary sinus opening: Contains a valve to prevent regurgitation.
-
Left atrium:
- Receives blood from pulmonary veins, which lack valves.
Ventricular Anatomy
- Right ventricle: Behind sternum; walls 3-4 mm thick, maximal systolic pressure ~30 mmHg.
- Left ventricle: Forms the left border and apex; walls 8-12 mm thick, maximal systolic pressure ~120 mmHg.
Atrioventricular Valves
- Tricuspid valve (right): Three cusps; blood flows anteriorly and medially.
- Mitral valve (left): Two cusps; blood flows toward the apex of the heart.
Chordae Tendineae
- Fibrous cords connecting papillary muscles to AV valve cusps.
- Prevent eversion during ventricular systole, avoiding regurgitation into atria.
Ventricular Outflow Tracts
- Right: Infundibulum leads to pulmonary trunk (blood flows upwards, backwards, and to the left).
- Left: Aortic vestibule connects to the aorta (blood flows upwards, backwards, and to the right).
Semilunar Valves
- Pulmonary valve: Three cusps (anterior, left, right); closes to prevent backflow during diastole.
- Aortic valve: Also three cusps (posterior, left, right) with similar function.
Fibrous Skeleton of the Heart
- Provides structural support with four fibrous rings surrounding valves.
- Insulates atria from ventricles, ensuring independent contraction mechanics.
- Allows conduction only through the atrioventricular bundle of His to prevent arrhythmias.
Cardiac Muscles
- Types include:
- Trabecula carnea: Muscular ridges in ventricle walls.
- Papillary muscles: Contract before ventricular contraction; three in right and two in left ventricle.
- Septomarginal trabecula: Present only in right ventricle; bridges interventricular septum and anterior papillary muscle.
Cardiac Auscultation
- 1st heart sound (S1): Closure of AV valves; marks start of systole.
- 2nd heart sound (S2): Closure of semilunar valves; marks start of diastole.
- Variations in heart sounds may occur with body position and physical activity.
Surface Anatomy
- Identify key points for auscultation:
- Tricuspid valve: Best heard near left lower sternum (4th/5th intercostal space).
- Mitral valve: Best heard over the apex (left 5th intercostal space).
- Aortic valve: Best heard at right 2nd intercostal space.
- Pulmonary valve: Best heard at left 2nd intercostal space.
Chest Imaging
- Importance arises from the ability to accurately identify cardiac borders and anatomical relationships through various imaging modalities.
