What are the conditions where you get 0 diastolic blood pressure?
aortic regurgitation
What is the name of backward flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium?
aortic regurgitation
What is aortic regurgitation?
A weakened and enlarged aorta may allow some blood to leak back into the heart during each heartbeat; this condition is called aortic regurgitation.
What happens if the chordae tendinae is damaged?
Regurgitation of blood during systole, causing murmurs.
Why is important that veins contain valves?
Valves cause our blood to flow in one direction, thus preventing regurgitation of blood.
The sound created when blood leaks back through an incompletely closed valve is called what?
The sound created when blood leaks back through an incompletely closed valve is called a heart murmur. This can occur due to various conditions affecting the heart valves.
What is Mitral valve regurgitation?
The mitral valve is located between the left atrium (LA) and the left ventricle (LV). In normal circulation, oxygenated blood comes from the lungs into the LA, Whe the LA contracts, the blood goes into the LV. When the LV contracts, the blood is pumped into the aorta for circulation throughout the body. The mitral valve prevents blood from going back up to the LA from the LV during ventricular contraction. Mitral regurgitation is when the mitral valve does not close properly during ventricular contraction, and allows blood to go back up to the LA.
What results when a valve is leaking blood back into the heart?
Regurgitation. Some of the blood flows back to the heart when it should be going the other way.
