THE HEART AS A PUMP: THE HEART AS A PUMP: THE CARDIAC CYCLE OF SYSTOLE AND DIASTOLETHE CARDIAC CYCLE OF SYSTOLE AND DIASTOLE
Systole: the ventricles contract
The phase of ventricular contraction in which the ventricles have been filled, then contract to expel blood into the aorta and pulmonary arteries.
-The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary arteries (pulmonic valve is open)
-The left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta (aortic valve is open)
Diastole: the ventricles relax
The phase of ventricular relaxation in which the ventricles relax and are filled as the atria contract
-Blood flows from the right atrium → right ventricle (tricuspid valve is open)
-Blood flows from the left atrium → left ventricle (mitral valve is open)

Heart Sounds
• S1: (lub) –Heard when the AV valve close
• S2 (dub) – occurs wen the aortic and pulmonic valves closed

THIRD & FOURTH HEART SOUNDSTHIRD & FOURTH HEART SOUNDS
• Description:
• Both sounds are low frequency and thus best heard with the bell of the stethoscope.
• Location:
• Usually best heard over apex with patient in the left lateral position
Copyright ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.All rights reserved.
Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing, Second EditionDonita D’Amico • Colleen Barbarito
THIRD HEART SOUND S3THIRD HEART SOUND S3
• Results from increased atrial pressure leading to increased flow rates, as seen in congestive heart failure, which is the most common cause of a S3.
• May be normal physiological finding in patients less than age 40.

FOURTH HEART SOUND S4FOURTH HEART SOUND S4
Seen in patients with stiffened left ventricles, resulting from conditions such as hypertension, aortic stenosis, ischemic or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

MURMURSMURMURS
• Murmurs are extra heart sounds that are produced as a result of turbulent blood flow that is sufficient to produce audible noise.
• Murmurs may also be the result of various problems, such as narrowing or leaking of valves.

Cardiac Function
• Stroke volume– Amount of blood that is ejected with each
heartbeat
• Cardiac output– Amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle
over 1 minute
– Cardiac output: stroke volume x heart rate

Physical Assessment of the Cardiovascular System
• Techniques– Inspection– Palpation– Percussion– Auscultation
Copyright ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.All rights reserved.
Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing, Second EditionDonita D’Amico • Colleen Barbarito
Specific Areas of the Cardiovascular Assessment
• Inspection of the face and lips• Inspection of the jugular veins• Inspection of the carotid arteries• Inspection of the hands and fingers• Inspection of the chest and legs

INSPECTION OF THE FACE AND LIPSINSPECTION OF THE FACE AND LIPS
Skin color changes may indicate cardiovascular disease. For example, pallor and cyanosis of lips or extremities are associated with decreased perfusion.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP)and Pulsations
• Recall that jugular veins reflect right atrial pressure
• Steps for examination– Raise the head of the bed or examining table to 30°
– Turn the patient’s head gently to the left
– Identify the topmost point of the flickering venous pulsations
– Place a centimeter ruler upright on the sternal angle
– Place a card or tongue blade horizontally from the top of the JVP to the ruler, making a right angle
– Measure the distance above the sternal angle in centimeters: a 3- to 4-centimeter elevation is normal

Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing, Second EditionDonita D’Amico • Colleen Barbarito
• Top line – level of the higest visible point of distention
• Bottom line – level of the sternal angle
• Measure: the vertical distance between the sternal angle and the highest level of jugular distention

Assessing the Carotid Pulse
• Keep the patient’s head elevated to 30°
• Place your index and middle fingers on the right then the left carotid arteries, and palpate the carotid upstroke
• Never palpate right and left carotid arteries simultaneously
• Listen with the stethoscope for any bruits

Palpation of the chestPalpation of the chest
• Using the ball of the hand, palpate for thrills• Palpation of the chest, including the following
– Precordium at the right and left second intercostal spaces
– Left third intercostal space– Left fourth intercostal space– Left fifth intercostal space at the midclavicular
line– (Palpate the chest wall in the aortic, pulmonic, left parasternal, and
apical areas)

AUSCULTATIONAUSCULTATION
Blood pressure measurement
o Select the proper size cuff
o Position the patient properly
o Make sure there is a brachial pulse
o Apply the cuff correctly
