Lub, systolic, closing of semilunar valves: aortic and
S1
pulmonic
S2 Dub, diastole, closing of AV valves: try and bi
Both in diastole
S3 can be normal in young male athlete
S3 and S4 S3: early
S4: late

What is the only Pulmonary artery
oxygenated artery in the
body?
P: atria fill and contract
Q: all valves close
Cardiac cycle R: pressure builds
S: semilunar valves open and eject blood
T: ventricles relax
-result of atherosclerosis
- causes decreased perfusion of myocardial tissue and
inadequate O2 supply leading to HTN, Angina,
CAD (Coronary Artery
dysrhythmias, MI, heart failure, and death
Disease)
-symptoms occur when occluded to the point that
inadequate bl supply t muscle occurs, causing ischemia
-goal of treatment is to alter the progression
, -angina (chest pain)
-epigastric distress
-pain that radiates to jaw or left arm
-SOB/dyspnea
S/S CAD
-palpitations
-syncope (fainting)
-cough/hemoptysis (coughing up blood)
-excessive fatigue
-ECG
-Cardiac cath
How is CAD diagnosed?
-Blood lipid levels increased (cholesterol meds
prescribed to reduce development of plaques
-ID risk factors
-decreased calorie, NA+, cholesterol, fat diet w/
increased fiber
Interventions for CAD
-maintain diet and meds for life
-community resources for exercise, smoking cessation,
and stress reduction
Modifiable risk factors for -cholesterol, smoking, HTN, diabetes
CAD
-control cholesterol
-dietary measures
-physical activity
-medications
Prevention of CAD
-stop smoking
-manage HTN
-control diabetes
*DIET, DECREASE FAT, EXERCISE!
-Nitrates: dilate arteries and decrease preload and after
load
-Ca+ channel blockers: dilate arteries and reduce
Meds for CAD vasospasm
-Cholesterol lowering meds: reduce plaque
development
-Beta blockers: decrease BP in ts who are hypertensive
