Cardiology Fisdap Test Prep
pericardial friction rub - to and fro sound inbetween systole and diastole (due to pericarditis) -
ANS
Divisions of Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) - ANSLeft Anterior Descending & Circumflex
coronary artery
Left Main Coronary Artery supplies what? - ANSLeft Ventricle, Interventricular Septum, Part of
Right Ventricle
Right Coronary Artery supplies what? - ANSRight Atrium, Right Ventricle, Part of Left Ventricle
Diastole - ANSPeriod when ventricles relax and are passively filled with blood
Systole - ANSContraction of heart muscle
Preload - ANSInitial stretching of cardiac myocytes prior to left sided contract
Afterload - ANSblood is driving out of the heart against system arteries
Which side (right or left) of the heart is a low pressure pump? - ANSright side
Layers of blood vessels from outer to inner... - ANSTunica Adventitia
Tunica Media
Tunica Intima
Epithelium (creates lumen of blood vessels)
Which type of vessel (arteries or veins) have more muscular layer allowing them to better
contract? - ANSarteries
What aids venous return to the heart? - ANSValves prevent backflow &
Skeletal muscle and thoracoabdominal pumps aid venous return
Cardiac Output - ANSAmount of blood pumped out by either ventricle
Normal CO for an adult is 5-6L/min
CO is a function of HR and Stroke Volume
Stroke Volume - ANSAmount of blood pumped out by either ventricle in a single heartbeat
SV is 60-100ml normally
