CVRN EXAM REVIEW 2024 | GRADED A+

BP - slowly open the valve on the bulb to release the pressure in the cuff

BP, bulb press - decrease at a rate of no more than 2-3mmHg/sec.

BP Air released too quick - false reading

Abdominojugular test or reflux - positive -> JVD

Resting pulse pressure - 40mmHg

Widened pulse pressure - increased CV risk

Abnormal pulse pressure - less than 25% of SBP

Common cause of narrow pulse pressure - drop in L vent stroke vol

Trauma, narrow pulse pressure - blood loss, insuff preload -> reduced cardiac output

Extremely low pulse pressure - low stroke volume (HF, shock)

Other causes of narrow pulse pressure - aortic valve stenosis and cardiac tamponade

Causes of wide pulse press - stiffness of major arteries, aortic regurg, AV malformation,
hyperthyroidism, fever, anemia

ACE inhibitors - lower pulse pressure

Cushings triad - High resting pulse pressure with bradycardia and irregular breathing ->
increased intracranial pressure

High pulse pressure can lead to - afib

5mg of folate - > decreased pulse pressure; reduces artery stiffness and may prevent S
HTN

ABI - ankle brachial index, evaluates upper limb and lower limb SBP; do not do if
patient has absent/dim pulses

ABI criteria - < 0.4 ischemic; > 1.3 calcified

, Rhonchi - course wheezes

Crackles - not cleared with cough

R lung - 3 lobes; RML can only be assessed from the anterior chest; RLL cannot be
assessed from the anterior chest

L lung - 2 lobes; LLL cannot be assessed from anterior chest

LDL risks - < 160 if no evidence of CVD/diab; <130 OK with 2 risk factors; <100 is
acceptale is there are risk factors for CVD

Bell of stethoscope - used for listening to low-pitched sounds and murmurs (s3,s4)

Diaphragm of stethoscope - used to heart high pithced sounds (s1, s2), ejection clicks,
opening snaps, murmurs

Aortic area - 2nd intercoastal space, RSB

Pulmonic area - 2nd intercoastal space, LSB

Tricuspid area - 5th intercoastal space, LSB

Mitral area - 5th intercoastal space, midclav line, apex

Ventricular diastole - rapid passive filling, s3 heard -> s4 heard

Atrial systole - 30% more volume to ventricles, s4 heard

S4 - late active phase of ventricular filling and are caused by atrial systole

S1 - AV valves closing (mitral and tricuspid); phase of "isovolumetric" contraction where
tension is increasing in the muscles but without shortening of muscle fibers; signifies
onset of ventricular systole; LV depolarizes and contracts slightly before RV (may hear
split M1 -> T1)

S2 - Aortic/pulmonic valves closing

Splitting of s1 - RBBB audible split in the first sound

LBBB, RV paced, and RV premature beats - cause a singular sound because mitral
valve closure is delated, the mitral and tricuspid componets fuse

Splitting of s2 - inspiration, S1 -> A2 -> P2; expiration is S1 -> S2

Split A2 - > P2 heard In - A or V septal defect, RBBB, pulm HTN, pulm stenosis
