60 year old women experiences myocardial infarction, resulting in failure of the mitral valve
-
The heart is a muscular pumping device with important anatomical structures and physiological events that play a critical role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis
-
Structure of the Heart
4 chambers
-
Right atrium
Receives deoxygenated blood from superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, coronary sinus
-
pectinate muscle- bundles of muscle tissue located on anterior portion of atrial wall - aids in contraction
-
-
Left ventricle
Papillary Muscles of the left ventricle attach via chordae tendinae to mitral valve - helps to prevent back flow into left atrium
-
-
Right ventricle
-
-
contains papillary muscle which attach via chordae tendinae to the tricuspid valve - helps to prevent back flow into right atrium
-
Heart valve physiology
Tricuspid valve
ventricular diastole: valve opens, allows ventricles fill
ventricular systole: valve closes, preventing reflux in atrium
-
-
Pulmonary valve
systole: valve opens, blood leaves the right ventricle
diastole: valve closes, preventing right reflux into right ventricle
-
pulmonary hypertension
-
-
-
high blood pressure can damage the small blood vessels of the kidneys increasing chance of developing kidney disease
-
Ischemia
-
Can effect brain, heart, blood vessels
