What is heart failure?
Heart Failure/Heart Disease (CVD) is the #1 cause of
death in the US. (~25% of deaths/year)
The etiology (cause) of Heart Disease can be due tovarious abnormalities that result in a dysfunctional
heart.
MOST COMMON CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE IS
ISCHEMIA (IHD)primarily due to reduced blood
supply from the major coronary arteries (LAD, LCX,
RCA/PDA)

Pressure Potential Energy is the primary determinant for blood flow:
Generated by massive pressure (force) from LV contraction that creates
a large pressure in the aorta (Paorta).
Reason why blood continues to flow: DIFFERENCE between
Paorta and Pra (right atrium) is considered an energy difference
(pressure difference):
Paorta = ~130mmhg vs. Pra = ~5mmhg
Hydrostatic
Pressure
7/29/2019 Session_1.ppt

Fluids flow because of pressure differences between
ENTRY (aorta) and EXIT (right atrium) points
DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE PATH OF TRAVEL!
Alsoin this example, there is no pump (heart), so
ONLY HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE (see previous
slide) creates a pressure difference.height of water pressure difference flow

(B): Once the internal viscosity of the fluid (stickiness) gets disrupted
due to large velocity (flow) becomes turbulent flow!
(C): ALSOstenosis (constriction/narrowing) causes larger velocity

A. in each capillary is high because the cross-sectional area of
each capillary is very small.
B. in the veins is less than in the venules.
C. is greater at the root of the aorta than in the arterioles.
D. is greater towards the periphery than towards the center of
the aortic stream.
E. must be increased through a narrowed pulmonary valve.

Dr. Hamrell does a wonderful job explaining the
events of the cardiac cycle.
Instead of retyping his notes, I am going to encourage
you all to read his notes on pages 1215which is
specific for the cardiac cycle. I will discuss the events
in detail during our tutoring session.
HIS NOTES ARE VERY, VERY WELL WRITTEN,
AND I HOPE YOU ALL READ THEM,UNDERSTAND THEM, LOVE THEMif not
contact me so I can resolve your areas of confusion.

PHYSIOLOGICAL SPLITTING OF S2:
Inspiration: diaphragm moves down, ribs move up andoutvolume in chest cavitypressureexansion of
pulmonary vessels (thin walls)compliance (larger
storage of blood) allows more blood to flow from RV
pulmonary artery delays pulmonary valve closure (P2)
ALSO: more blood stored in pulmonary veinLA
fillingLV ejection aortic valve closes sooner (A2)
Expiration: diaphragm moves up into thoracic cavity, ribs
depress back downthoracic volumepressure
causes A2 to close nearly at the same time as P2.

Normal: pregnancy, young adults/teens
Pathological: ventricular hypertrophy/dilatation (RV or LV)
Occurs duringRAPID VENTRICULAR FILLING (diastole) because
either an abnormal volume of ventricular filling or due to thickened
ventricular wallcauses blood to vibrate/bounce = S3
7/29/2019 Session_1.ppt
34/67
ALWAYS PATHOLOGICAL!
Occurs duringATRIAL KICK (diasole) that causes blood tovibrate off ventricular chamberusually due to HYPERTROPHY,
but can also be due to dilatation!
*Note: Hypertrophy = muscle mass vs. Dilatation = blood within chamber

MurmursSTENOSIS: abnormal opening Narrowed valve
murmur heard downstreamex) - aortic stenosis heard in aorta (during systole)
- mitral stenosis heard in LV (during diastole)
REGURGITATION/INSUFFICIENCY: abnormal closing leaky/loose valve murmur heard upstream
ex)aortic regurgitation heard in LV (diastole)
- mitral regurgitation heard in LA (systole)
*Note: insufficiencies usually cause murmurs to appear throughout the cardiaccyclehowever the PRIMARY murmurs are indicated above. In the case of aortic
insufficiency, a larger volume will flow back into the LV, which will cause another
murmur to be heard during systole (known as To-and -Fro). Same rationale
applies for mitral insufficiency (known as pansystolic/holosystolic)or can result in
an S3.

First, what structural abnormalitywhat valve defect.
Second, when during the cardiac cycle should valve be
completely closed or fully open.
Conclude,if the valve orifice is narrow, then the murmur
will occur when the valve is supposed to be fully open with
blood flowing through it. If valve is leaking the murmur willoccur when it is supposed to be closed and no blood flow is
supposed to occur.

TO-FRO Murmur: In this case, S2 is NOT clearly heard, and themurmur obscures P2 the Early Diastolic Murmur (EDM) is due to
backflow of blood from the aortato the LV this increases LV
volume which causes a larger volume to be ejected from the LV on
the subsequent contraction giving rise to Systolic murmur (SM)

THIS IS MITRAL STENOSIS!easy DX!
Notice a similarity betweenaortic stenosis? YES!LA Pressure is much higher than LV pressure during
diastole, when these pressures should be the same (this is
similar between the LV pressure and Aortic pressure seen in
aortic stenosis!)
