    INTRODUCTION

    Cardiovascular system comprises ofHeart and Blood Vessels. Heart is thecentral pump and the blood vessels are

    the series of distributing and collectingtubes. The function of cardio vascularsystem is to supply oxygen, nutrientsand other essential substances to the

    tissues of the body and to removemetabolic end products from thetissues.

    Every heart beat consists of two major

    periods called systole and diastole.

    During systole, there is contraction of

    the cardiac muscle and pumping of

    blood from the heart. During diastole,

    there is relaxation of cardiac muscleand filling of blood.

    Thus, the cardiac cycle is defined as the

    succession of coordinated activities,which take place during every heart

    beat.

    The mechanical activities of the heart

    during each cardiac cycle, cause theproduction of some sounds, which are

    called Heart Sounds.

    HEART SOUNDS

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    50/108

    General Principles

    Contraction of the myocardium generates pressure

    changes which result in the orderly movement ofblood.

    Blood flows from an area ofhigh pressure to an

    area oflow pressure, unless flow is blocked by a

    valve. Events on the right and left sides of the heart are the

    same, but pressures are lower on the right.

    valves S3 - rarely heard in people > 30

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    53/108

    A heart which is beating normal makes two

    sounds, "lubb" when the valves between the

    atria and ventricles close, and "dupp" whenthe valves between the ventricles and the

    major arteries close.

    The cardiac cycle is regulated by the cardiac

    center in the medulla oblongata which

    regulates sympathetic and parasympa-thetic

    input.

    Diastole and Systole

    Diastole - the time during which cardiac muscle relaxes.

    Systole - the time in which cardiac muscle is contracting.

    I - The Heart at Rest : Atrial and Ventricular Diastole While both atria and ventricles are relaxing, the atria begin filing with blood

    from the veins while the ventricles have just completed a contraction

    As the ventricles relax the AV valves between the atria and ventricles open,

    and blood flows from the atria to the ventricles.

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    64/108

    II - Completion of Ventricular Filling : Atrial Systole The last 20% of the filling of the ventricles is accomplished when

    the atria contract. Atrial systole begins following depolarization ofthe SA node.

    Atrial contraction can aid filling of the ventricles in stenosis of theAV valves.

    The force of atrial contraction can also push blood back into thevein. This can be observed by the pulse in jugular vein of anormal person lying w/ the head and chest elevated about 30degrees. If there is an observable jugular pulse higher on the

    neck of a person sitting upright, it is indication that the pressurein the atria is higher than normal.

    III- Early Ventricular Contraction and the 1st Heart Sound Ventricular Systole begins at the apex of the heart as spiral

    bands of muscle squeeze the blood upward toward the base.Blood pushing upward on the underside of the AV valve forcesthem closed so that blood cannot flow back into the atria.

    Vibrations following closure of the AV valves creates the 1stheart sound, the lub of lub-dup.

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    65/108

    IV - The heart pumps: Ventricular Ejection As the ventricles contract, they generate enough pressure to open the

    semilunar valves and the blood is pushed into the arteries.

    The pressure created by ventricular contraction becomes the drivingforce for blood flow.

    V - Ventricular Relaxation and the 2nd Heart Sound As the ventricles begin to relax, ventricular pressure decreases.

    Once ventricular pressure falls below the pressure in the arteries bloodstarts to flow backward into the heart. This backflow fills the cusps of

    the semilunar valves, forcing them together into the closed position.

    The vibrations of the semilunar valve closure is the 2nd heart sound, the

    dup of lub-dup.

    The AV valves open once the pressure in the ventricles falls below the

    pressure in the atria and the cycle starts again.

    ATRIAL SYSTOLE Heart

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    66/108

    ATRIAL SYSTOLE - Heart

    Prior to atrial systole, blood has

    been flowing passively from the

    atrium into the ventricle through

    the open AV valve.

    During atrial systole the atriumcontracts and tops off the volume

    in the ventricle with only a small

    amount of blood. Atrial

    contraction is complete before the

    ventricle begins to contract.

    ATRIAL SYSTOLE

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    67/108

    ATRIAL SYSTOLEPressures & Volumes

    The "a" wave occurs when theatrium contracts, increasing atrialpressure (yellow).

    Blood arriving at the heart cannotenter the atrium so it flows backup the jugular vein, causing thefirst discernible wave in the

    jugular venous pulse. Atrial pressure drops when the

    atria stop contracting.

    During atrial systole the atriumcontracts and tops off the volumein the ventricle with only a smallamount of blood.

    Atrial contraction is completebefore the ventricle begins tocontract.

    ATRIAL SYSTOLE

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    68/108

    ATRIAL SYSTOLEECG

    An impulse arising from the SA node results in depolarization andcontraction of the atria (the right atrium contracts slightly before theleft atrium).

    The P wave is due to this atrial depolarization. The PR segment is electrically quiet as the depolarization proceeds

    to the AV node. This brief pause before contraction allows the ventricles to fill

    completely with blood.

    ATRIAL SYSTOLE

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    69/108

    ATRIAL SYSTOLEHeart Sounds

    A fourth heart sound (S4) is abnormal and is associated with the end

    of atrial emptying after atrial contraction.

    It occurs with hypertrophic congestive heart failure, massive

    pulmonary embolism, tricuspid incompetence, or cor pulmonale.

    ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTIONHeart

    The atrioventricular (AV) valves

    close at the beginning of this

    phase.

    Electrically, ventricular systole is

    defined as the interval betweenthe QRS complex and the end of

    the T wave (the Q-T interval).

    Mechanically, ventricular systole

    is defined as the interval between

    the closing of the AV valves andthe opening of the semilunar

    valves (aortic and pulmonary

    valves).

    As the ventricles contractisovolumetrically -- their volume

    does not change (white) -- the

    pressure inside increases,

    approaching the pressure in the

    ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    73/108

    ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTIONECG

    The electrical impulse propagates from the AV node through the His

    bundle and Purkinje system to allow the ventricles to contract from

    the apex of the heart towards the base.

    The QRS complex is due to ventricular depolarization, and it marksthe beginning of ventricular systole. It is so large that it masks the

    underlying atrial repolarization signal. the ventricles to fill completely

    RAPID EJECTIONPressures & Volumes

    While the ventricles continue

    contracting, the pressure in theventricles (red) exceeds the pressure inthe aorta and pulmonary arteries(green); the semilunar valves open,blood exits the ventricles, and thevolume in the ventricles decreasesrapidly (white).

    As more blood enters the arteries,pressure there builds until the flow ofblood reaches a peak.

    The "c" wave of atrial pressure is notnormally discernible in the jugularvenous pulse. Right ventricularcontraction pushes the tricuspid valveinto the atrium and increases atrialpressure, creating a small wave into thejugular vein. It is normally simultaneouswith the carotid pulse.

    After the peak in ventricular and

    arterial pressures (red and

    green), blood flow out of the

    ventricles decreases and

    ventricular volume decreasesmore slowly (white).

    When the pressure in the

    ventricles falls below the

    pressure in the arteries, blood in

    the arteries begins to flow backtoward the ventricles and causes

    the semilunar valves to close.

    This marks the end of ventricular

    systole mechanically.

    Throughout this and the previoustwo phases, the atrium in diastolehas been filling with blood on topof the closed AV valve, causingatrial pressure to rise gradually

    (yellow). The "v" wave is due to the back

    The second heart sound (S2, "dup") occurs when the semilunar

    Heart

    Once the AV valves open, blood

    that has accumulated in the atria

    flows rapidly into the ventricles.

    Pressures & Volumes

    Ventricular volume (white)

    increases rapidly as blood flows

    from the atria into the ventricles.

    Heart Sounds

    A third heart sound (S3) is usually abnormal and is due to rapid

    passive ventricular filling. It occurs in dilated congestive heart

    failure, severe hypertension, myocardial infarction, or mitral

    incompetence.

    Hypertension

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    100/108

    Hypertension

    Arterial pressure is too high Sometimes cause is unknown, or is secondary to disease Variety of causes/ risk factors are sedentary lifestyle smoking obesity diet (excess sodium; cholesterol; calories in general) stress arteriosclerosis

    genetic factors

    Consequences

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    101/108

    Consequences

    heart has to work harder; left ventricle enlarges

    atherosclerosis may affect coronary arteries

    as well (which have to work harder anyway) deficient blood supply to other parts of body

    damage to blood vessels

    heart failure

    Treatment

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    102/108

    ea e

    Quit smoking; adjust diet; exercise

    Drug therapies- strategies differ

    Reduce heart rate calcium channel blockers

    reduce calcium flow into heart muscle and thereforeheart rate, relax smooth muscle lining coronaryarteries

    beta blockers (reduce stimulation bysympathetic nervous system)

  • 8/22/2019 Vipul Heart

    103/108

    Vasodilators (such as nitroglycerin) open up

    blood vessels (reduce resistance)

    If heart is actually failing, digitalis increases

    efficiency of heart muscle

    Anti-hypertensive drugs may be taken incombination

    Age related changes

    cholesterol deposition in blood vessels

    heart enlargement

    death of cardiac muscle cells

    Coronary artery disease results when coronaryarteries cannot deliver blood adequately

    Usual cause: plaques in arterial walls

    Angina pectoris (pain) results when body is notreceiving adequate oxygen

    Myocardial infarction (heart attack) results whenblood supply to heart is completely blocked; muscledies

    Conclusion

    106/108

    To clinicians heart sounds provide importantinformation about the normal function of theheart and assist in diagnosing cardiacabnormalities. Any abnormal heart sounds

    and certain murmurs are important indicatorsof specific cardiac abnormalities.

    Hence, the integrated function of heart and

    blood vessel constitute an important , basicpart of routine clinical examination andpractice.
