HEART & NECK VESSELS CHAPTER 21
GUIDED READING
2. List the various components of the electrical system of the heart.
The electrical system of the heart is responsible for coordinating the contraction of the heart muscle, ensuring that the chambers contract in a synchronized manner to efficiently pump blood.
The key components of the electrical system of the heart include:
1. **Sinoatrial (SA) Node:**
- Located in the right atrium, the SA node is often referred to as the "natural pacemaker" of the heart. It generates electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat.
2. **Atria:**
- The electrical impulses generated by the SA node spread across the atria, causing them to contract and push blood into the ventricles.
3. **Atrioventricular (AV) Node:**
- The AV node is located between the atria and ventricles. It acts as a relay station, slowing down the electrical signal briefly to allow the ventricles to fill with blood before contracting.
4. **Bundle of His:**
- After passing through the AV node, the electrical impulses travel down the Bundle of His, a collection of specialized fibers that transmit the signal from the atria to the ventricles.
5. **Bundle Branches:**
- The Bundle of His divides into left and right bundle branches, conducting the electrical signal
to the respective ventricles.
6. **Purkinje Fibers:**
- The bundle branches further divide into Purkinje fibers, which spread the electrical impulse throughout the ventricles, causing them to contract and pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body.
This coordinated electrical activity ensures an efficient and synchronized contraction of the heart
muscle, leading to the rhythmic beating of the heart. Any disruption in this electrical system can result in arrhythmias or other cardiac issues. The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a diagnostic tool that records the electrical activity of the heart, providing valuable information about its function.
3. Explain the phases of the electrocardiogram.
The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart over time. It is typically recorded using electrodes placed on the skin, and it shows a series of waves and complexes. The ECG consists of several phases, each corresponding to a
specific electrical event in the cardiac cycle. Here's a detailed explanation of the phases of a standard ECG:
1. **P-Wave:**
- The P-wave represents the depolarization (contraction) of the atria. It begins with the firing of
the sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium, spreading the electrical impulse across both atria. This depolarization leads to atrial contraction, pushing blood into the ventricles.
2. **PR Interval:**
- The PR interval is the time from the beginning of the P-wave to the beginning of the QRS complex. It represents the delay in the electrical impulse at the atrioventricular (AV) node, allowing the ventricles to fill with blood before contraction. The PR interval includes the time taken for the impulse to travel from the SA node through the atria, AV node, and bundle of His.
3. **QRS Complex:**
- The QRS complex is a series of waves representing the depolarization of the ventricles. It begins with the firing of the bundle of His and the division into the left and right bundle branches, causing the electrical impulse to spread through the ventricles. The QRS complex is larger and wider than the P-wave.
4. **ST Segment:**
- The ST segment is the period between the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the T-wave. It represents the early part of ventricular repolarization. The ST segment is normally isoelectric (at the baseline) but can be elevated or depressed in certain cardiac conditions.
5. **T-Wave:**
- The T-wave represents the repolarization (relaxation) of the ventricles. It occurs as the ventricles return to their resting state. The T-wave is typically more spread out and rounded compared to the QRS complex.
6. **QT Interval:**
- The QT interval begins at the start of the QRS complex and ends at the end of the T-wave. It represents the total time for ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Prolongation of the QT
interval can be associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
These phases collectively make up one cardiac cycle, and the ECG is a valuable tool for diagnosing various cardiac conditions by analyzing the shape, duration, and timing of these waves and intervals.
4. Describe the systolic and diastolic phases of the heart cycle.
Certainly, let's delve into more detail about the systolic and diastolic phases of the cardiac cycle:
### **Systolic Phase:**
#### **1. Atrial Systole:**
- **Description:** The cardiac cycle begins with the contraction of the atria, known as atrial systole. This contraction is initiated by the electrical impulse generated by the sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium.
- **ECG Correspondence:** The P-wave on the electrocardiogram (ECG) represents atrial depolarization, coinciding with atrial systole.
#### **2. Isovolumetric Contraction (Early Ventricular Systole):**
- **Description:** As the atria contract and fill the ventricles, the ventricles begin their contraction (systole). Initially, all four heart valves are closed, and no blood is ejected. The pressure within the ventricles rises.
- **ECG Correspondence:** The QRS complex on the ECG corresponds to the onset of ventricular depolarization, marking the beginning of ventricular systole.
#### **3. Ventricular Ejection (Late Ventricular Systole):**
- **Description:** Once ventricular pressure exceeds the pressure in the pulmonary artery and aorta, the semilunar valves open, and blood is ejected into the pulmonary artery and aorta. This is
the phase of ventricular ejection.
- **ECG Correspondence:** The ventricular ejection phase continues until the T-wave on the ECG, which represents ventricular repolarization.
### **Diastolic Phase:**
#### **1. Isovolumetric Relaxation (Early Ventricular Diastole):**
- **Description:** As the ventricles relax, pressure within them drops. The semilunar valves close to prevent backflow, and all four valves are briefly closed. No blood enters or leaves the ventricles during this isovolumetric relaxation phase.
- **ECG Correspondence:** This phase occurs between the T-wave and the next P-wave on the ECG.
#### **2. Rapid Ventricular Filling:**
- **Description:** During this phase, blood rapidly flows from the atria into the ventricles. The pressure in the atria is higher than in the ventricles, causing the atrioventricular (AV) valves to open.
- **ECG Correspondence:** This phase is associated with the latter part of diastole and the P-
wave on the ECG.
#### **3. Atrial Diastole:**
- **Description:** This is the final part of diastole. The atria are relaxed and filling with blood from the veins, preparing for the next contraction.
- **ECG Correspondence:** The period between the P-wave and the next QRS complex on the ECG.
These phases collectively constitute one cardiac cycle. The coordination of atrial and ventricular activities, along with the opening and closing of heart valves, ensures the efficient pumping of blood and maintains the circulation necessary for oxygen and nutrient delivery to the body's tissues.
5. Explain the normal hearts sounds, S1 and S2. What causes each of these sounds?
Certainly! The normal heart sounds, often referred to as S1 and S2, are associated with the closing of heart valves during different phases of the cardiac cycle.
### S1 - "Lub" Sound:
#### Cause:
The first heart sound, S1, is produced by the closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves—
specifically the tricuspid valve on the right side and the mitral valve on the left side. S1 occurs at the beginning of ventricular systole when the ventricles contract to pump blood into the pulmonary artery and aorta.
#### Events Leading to S1:
1. **Atrial Contraction (Atrial Systole):** The atria contract, pushing blood into the ventricles.
2. **AV Valve Closure:** As the ventricles begin to contract, the pressure within them rises. The increased pressure forces the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) to close, preventing the backflow of blood into the atria.
3. **Beginning of Ventricular Contraction (Ventricular Systole):** The closing of the AV valves
produces the first heart sound, S1 or "lub." This sound marks the onset of ventricular contraction.
### S2 - "Dub" Sound:
#### Cause:
The second heart sound, S2, is associated with the closure of the semilunar valves—specifically the aortic valve on the left side and the pulmonary valve on the right side. S2 occurs at the beginning of ventricular diastole when the ventricles relax and the pressure within them decreases.
#### Events Leading to S2:
1. **End of Ventricular Contraction (Ventricular Systole):** As the ventricles finish contracting and begin to relax, the pressure in the ventricles drops.
2. **Semilunar Valve Closure:** When the pressure in the aorta and pulmonary artery becomes higher than the pressure in the ventricles, the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) close to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles.
3. **Beginning of Ventricular Relaxation (Ventricular Diastole):** The closure of the semilunar valves produces the second heart sound, S2 or "dub." This sound marks the onset of ventricular relaxation and the beginning of diastole.
### Timing and Auscultation:
- S1 is typically heard as a single sound and corresponds to the beginning of the cardiac cycle.
- S2 is heard as a second sound, occurring later in the cardiac cycle.
