CVS Assessment Questions and Answers (Latest 2024)
What are the 3 parts of the CVS system? - Correct Answer ✅Heart (pump), vessels (pipes), blood (volume)
What are the 3 types of shock for each part of the system? - Correct Answer ✅Heart = cariogenic shock
Vessels = distributive shock (anaphylactic and neurogenic)
Blood = hypovolemic shock
What happens during S1 sound?
During S2 sound? - Correct Answer ✅systole (full ventricles contract) and closing of AV valves
diastole (ventricles relax) and closing of SL valves
Why would you hear S3?
What does it sound like? - Correct Answer ✅early diastole =
passive filling of ventricles CVS Assessment Questions and Answers (Latest 2024)
If blood is already in the ventricles, it will slosh against it and S3 is heard
Blood entering a full ventricle causes vibration (during passive filling)
Lup Dup Up (ventricular gallop)
Why would you hear S4?
What does it sound like? - Correct Answer ✅Late diastole/early systole: atrial kick (contraction) pushes blood into stiff ventricle = blood smacks against non compliant ventricle = S4
Blood from atrial kick into a full ventricle causes vibration (during active filling) T e Lub Dup CVS Assessment Questions and Answers (Latest 2024)
What ventricle has the highest pressure?
Which valves are damaged the most? - Correct Answer ✅Left
Mitral and aortic
Reguritation: - Correct Answer ✅some blood flows back into
heart b/c valve des not fully close
What happens during systole? - Correct Answer ✅full ventricles contract = blood is pumped into systemic and pulmonic systems
What happens during diastole? - Correct Answer ✅Ventricles relax and atria contract (atrial kick) = myocardium is perfused
What changes CO demand? - Correct Answer ✅exercise, stress, adrenaline, fight or flight: illness, injury, fever
