MURMURS (soplos)


Stenosis = problem in opening the valve
Regurgitation = problem in closing the valve
 
Need to know where valves are heard best – right 2ndICS (aortic valve), left 2nd ICS (pulmonic), left parasternal border (tricuspid), apex (mitral) – this isn’t necessarily where the valve is, but where the noise is heard the best.

Arachidonic Acid metabolism

SOME FORMULAS

• CPP = MAP - IP
(Cerebral Perfusion Pressure) (Mean Arterial Pressure) (Intracraneal Pressure)
• MAP = CO x TPR
(Cardiac Output) (Total Peripheral Resistance)
• CO = HR x SV
(Heart Rate) (Stroke Volume)
• TPR = Viscocity / radius4



Some Respiratory Formulas
• VTotal = VDead Space + VAlveolar

• Vmin = TV x RR

• TV = 10-15 cc/Kg 
Example:
• VTotal = VDead Space + VAlveolar
     5000             40%              ??  = 3000
• Vmin = TV x RR
     5000      500   x  10
• TV = 10-15 cc/Kg

CARDIAC CYCLE

•S1 begining of systole → Mitral & Tricuspide closure
•S2 begining of diastole.→ Aortic & Pulmonary closure  Variation with Respiration (P2 separates away from A2 b/c more blood is comming into the rigth heart, so the valve closes a little bit later). 
•S3 occurs in early diastole during rapid ventricular filling (after MV opens). Associated with ↑ filling pressures commonly in dilated ventricles (vol overloaded). Normal in kids and pregnant.
•S4 occurs in late diastole. Associated with ventricular hypertrophy (concentric HPY). High atrial pressure (Left atrium must push against stiff LV).

○ Aortic Stenosis → EC (when AV opens)
○ Mitral Prolapse → MC (sudden tensing of chordae tendinae)
○ Mitral Stenosis → OS (tensing of chordae tendinae.
EC= Ejection click, MC= Midsystolic click, OS= Opening snap

BLOOD VESSEL INNERVATION

NICOTINIC RECEPTORS

BLADDER & LUNGS INNERVATION


KIDNEY AND PANCREAS INNERVATION (Mnemonic)

The way Vivi recalls the kidney and pancreas innervation is assigning the number 1 to the organ kidney (because is the #1 arterial pressure regulator organ) and #2 to the pancreas (because type II Diabetes is the most common diabetes ja ja)

Both organs have α and ß receptors

In general α receptors in these two organs decrease and ß receptors increase secretion/release of its hormones.

There you go!

Kidney:
α1 receptors ↓ Renin Release
Ăź1 receptors ↑ Renin Release

Pancreas:
α2 receptors ↓ Insulin Secretion
Ăź2 receptors ↑ Insulin Secretion

MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS

Reflex Tachycardia & Reflex Bradycardia mediated by:
Stimulation of B1 receptors (Tachy) & M2 receptors (Brady)

B2 receptor blockers contraindications: No in Asthmatics, Diabetics (B1,B2), Spastic Disorders (Prinzmetal Angina, Raynaud Phenomenon)
