The Heart
Anatomy by Chinien
'¥ Name the three types of ribs:
> there are 12 pair of ribs, 7 true rs, 3 false ribs and 2 floating ribs
2, Tiue ribs (1-7) > joins directly to manubrium of sternum
b, Ealse ribs (8-10) > fuse to cartilage before
ins to lower part of sternum
¢. Floating rss (11-12) + doesn’t join to sternum

‘¥ Describe the layers of the heart and how much fluids there?
1. Fibrous
2. Parietal
3. Visceral
+ lid: 10-20 mi of pericardial fluid
+ infection of pericardium leads to
2. pericarditis, you wil ear pericarcial ub
». pericarlal effusion due to pus, trauma or infection
¥ What pleroes T2, 78, 110,712
12.9 Bifurcation of trachea
78 > IVC pierces
T10 esophagus pierces diaphragm
112 > Aorta pierces diaphragm
¥ Whereis the heart located?
2nd intercostal space » Sth intercostal space
‘¥ What are the borders of the heart formed by?
1. Right > formed by right atrium
2. Left formed by left ventricle and eft auricle
3, Superior + lined by root oferta and pulmonary trunk
4, Inferior > extends along the right ventricle and part of the let ventricle atts apex.
5, Loner > formed by right ventrile and right atrium
6. Apex > formed by left ventricle
‘¥ Anatomy of the heartsiperevena cave
+ List the three types of sulcus:
1. Altiowentricular sulcus > separate aria and ventricles
2, Intorvontrieular sulcus > vertis interventricular septum
3, Coronary sulcus > contain right coronary arteries
'¥ What are the signs of coarctation of aorta?
+ causes hypertension of upper and ower limbs
+ blood going to divert through superior aorta and go into intercostal arteries hence become dilated
+ ‘signs: radiofemoral delay,
‘¥ What is rib notching?
‘+ when intercostal vessels become dilated and enter te intercostal groove
+ thus causing a bigger notch inthe ribs
¥ When does hemopericardium occur?
+ blood accumulating in the pericardial sac posterior to heart, and expands to surround the entire heart
+ itwill cause compression in the heart, heart does not beat properly
+ called: cardiac tamponade
+ signs: hypertension (reduced CO, due to 4 in EDV and SV), distended neck veins, raised JVP (due to * backflow into venous
system)
'Y Which arteries are involved in triple vessel disease?
‘+ major coronary arteries have blockages or stenosis,
“+ arteries involved: left anterior descending a, lft circumflex a & right coronary a
¥ Name all the vessels of the heart:
1. Aorta
‘+ aortic sinus found above aortic valve, they are filed during diastole
+ high diastolic pressure leads to a J in coronary perfusion
“+ causes diastolic hypertension leading to mycocardial ischemia
2. Pulmonary trunk
3. Pulmonary artery
2. Right pulmonary a -> goes to SAnode
. Marginal a
«. Posterior interventricular4. Left pulmonary a
4. sve
‘+ sinus venosum joins IVC and SVC (shiny part)

‘¥ What s the tricuspid valve attached to?
‘+ Tricuspid valve - attached to chordae tendinae + attached to papillary muscles
‘+ Rugged edges are called trabeculae carni
‘¥ What happens to papillary muscles during myocardial infarction?
“+ necrosis occurs if RCA infarction happens as papillary m receives its own blood flow from the coronary arteries
+ leading to a rupture of the chordae tendineae and end up with murmur
+ hence
cuspid regurgitation
'¥ Which vessels are visible on the angiogram?
Left coronary artery
+ left anterior descending
+ left circumflex
Coronary sinus > main vein, main branch of great cardiac vein
Thobesian veins > small cariae veins, drain on the right sie of heart
Pericardial sulcus > space which is first here to your arteries, and anterior to SVC
¥ How to identity normal x-ray of the heart?
+ normal heart shadow is less than half the dlameter ofthe chest,
+ draw vertical line down the midline of sternum
+ draw a horizontal ine from maximum bulge of right border of heart tothe line we drew earlier
‘+ repeat the same for the left border¥ How do you access the Coronary angiogram?
a, Radial artery
‘+ donot use when occlusion > do Allens test and then use Ulnar
b. Femoral artery
-¥ How do you access the Pulmonary angiogram?
‘+ Insert catheter into central veins > Right atrium to Left pulmonary a /Left auricle
a. Antecubital a b. Brachial
