Cardiac Conduction System
• Heart is innervated by Autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic : stimulates
Parasympathetic: slows
SA Node (Sinoatrial node): located in right atria, generates impulses that travel through the conduction system & produce cardiac muscle contraction.
AV Node (atrioventricular node): located in the atrial septum
Bundle of His: right and left bundle branches
Purkinjie fibers: located in ventricular myocardium, where ventricular contraction takes place

Common Cardiovascular Problems
CAD (Coronary Artery Disease)
HTN (Hyypertension) > 80% of US population
RHD (Rheumatic Heart Disease) - Sequelae of beta hemolytic strep infections resulting in valvular damage, more likely seen In older adults
BE (Bacterial Endocarditis) - bacteremia causes valvular damage
CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) – greatest portion diagnosed early in life

Physiologic BasicsMyocardium - muscle layer of the heart that allows it to act as pump
Cardiac Output = HR x SV
Heart Rate (pulse) = beats per minute
Blood Pressure = SVR x CO
Electrical conduction of the heart
![Page 16: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assessing: Heart SoundsHeart Sound Review
Location
Aortic: 2nd ICS, RSB (s2 is loudest)
Pulmonic: 2nd ICS, LSB (s2 is loudest)
Erbs Point: 3rd ICS, LSB
Tricuspid: 4th ICS, LSB (s1 is loudest)
Mitral (Apex): 5th ICS, MCL (s1 is loudest)
S1: represents ventricular contraction & ejection: S1 sound is produced by closing of AV valves (tricuspid and Mitral valves)
S2: represents ventricular relaxation & filling: S2 sound is produced by closing of semilunar valves: Aortic and Pulmonic valves

Assessing: Heart Sounds
Inspection
Bare chest
Quiet room, Privacy
Note: symmetry of chest, any pulsatile areas, discolorations
Palpate
Precordium
palpate 5 sites for:
Heave (with palmer surface), thrust
Thrill (with base of finger of heel of hand (bony part))
palpable murmur » cat purring
Thrills - indicative of obstructed flow
fine palpable rushing sensation
R or L 2nd ICS - Aortic or pulmonic stenosis
When palpate precordium use other hand to palpate carotid artery
S1 should coincide with carotid impulse
![Page 21: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assessing: Heart SoundsAuscultate
Use diaphragm and bell of stethoscopestart with diaphragm, (S1 and S2 relatively high pitched)use bell to listen for S3 and S4
heart sounds - S1 and S2raterhythm - regular (NSR), irregular (warrants investigation)extra sounds? Murmurs?Auscultation: want to hear crisp, distinct S1 and S2S1 > at apexS2 > at base
![Page 22: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Assessing: Heart Sounds
BE Systematic!! APE TO MAN
Listening for S1 and S2
interval between S1 and S2 should be silent
heart sounds not heard best directly over valve which produces it, but in direction of blood flow
there are specific sites where each valve sound is best heard
![Page 23: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

After Auscultating Heart Sounds.....
Perfect time to auscultate Apical Pulse.
Count for one full minute, each cardiac cycle.
Note rate & rhythm
![Page 25: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is a Pulse?• The ventricles pump blood into the
arteries at about 72 bpm. The blood causes an alternating expansion and recoil creates a pressure wave which travels through all of the arteries.
![Page 26: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
PulseAdult (60-100) bpm
Child (80-120) bpm
Infant ( 140 bpm)
Palpated on superficial arteries (pulse points)
Auscultated on Apex of the heart
![Page 27: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pulse Variations:Tachycardia - >100 bpm
Bradycardia - < 60 bpm
Palpitations - Unpleasant sensations of awareness of the heartbeat: described as skipped beats, racing, fluttering, pounding or irregularity: may result from rapid acceleration or slowing of heart, increased forcefulness of cardiac contraction: not necessarily associated with heart disease.
![Page 28: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Factors Assessing Pulse
• Cardiac output• Age• Gender• Exercise• Fever• Stress• Position
![Page 29: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Factors Assessing Pulse
Cardiac Output
Amount of blood ejected from the heart in one minute
Measured by SV x HR
Normal HR = 60 - 100 beats per minute
![Page 30: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Factors Assessing PulseAge
Adult (60-100) bpm
Child (80-120) bpm
Infant ( 140 bpm)
Gender - after puberty female > male
Exercise
increased HR with activity
increased metabolism causes vasodilatation
causes O2 demand
![Page 31: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Factors Assessing PulseFever
body compensates for increased temp by vasodilatation, decreased BP causes body to compensate by > HR
increased 10-20 beats/min/ degree above norm
especially in children
![Page 32: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Factors Assessing Pulse
Stress
sympathetic response, increases HR & BP
Position
sitting, standing causes pooling
results in transient - BP
rate compensates by increasing
![Page 33: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Assessing : Pulse• Please note:• Assessing a heart rate is
determining beats per minute, noting rate, rhythm and strength.
• Assessing peripheral pulses is to assess arterial blood flow to peripheral arteries.

Taking a Blood Pressure
![Page 44: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Blood Pressure: Key Facts
• Korotkoff sounds: Turbulent sounds of partial obstruction of arterial flowPhase I: sharp tapping sound (systolic)Phase II: change to soft swishing soundPhase III: sounds more crisp & intensePhase IV: muffled tapping Phase V: cessastion of sound (diastolic)
![Page 45: CardioVascular Assessment Lab C Ruckdeschel RN, BSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649eb05503460f94bb6633/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Blood Pressure: Key FactsArm Blood Pressure: May be 5-10 mmHg higher in right arm than left arm: greater differences between right & left arm may be associated with congenital aortic stenosis or acquired conditions such as aortic dissection or obstruction of arteries to upper arm.
Leg Blood Pressure: Arm & leg blood pressures are about equal during first year of life & after that time the leg blood pressure is 15-20 mmHg higher than the arm BP.
Pulse Pressure: difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressures:
Usual pulse pressure is between 30-40 mmHg
Orhtostatic Hypotension: Decrease in SBP of 20-30 mmHg or more when changing from supine to standing position, & increase in pulse of 10-20 bpm: sudden drops may result in fainting. Dizziness & faintness from orthostatic hypotension may occur when taking anti-hypertensive medications, hypovolemia, confined to bed for prolonged periods of time, or the elderly.
