Which valve has a bigger diameter, the tricuspid or pulmonic valve?

Which valve requires more pressure to move across it, the tricuspid or the pulmonic?

Valve A requires 5mmHg to move blood and valve B requires 30mmHg. Which valve has a smaller diameter?

What is the right ventricular diastolic pressure?

What is the RV EDP?

Why is the RV EDP not zero?

What is a normal RV ejection fraction?

What is EDP?

What is a normal diastolic pressure in the pulmonary artery?

What is the normal left atrial pressure?

What is the normal O2 concentration of a RBC leaving the lungs?

What is the normal O2 concentration of a RBC when it returns to the RA?

How much O2 is a RBC able to give up to the organs?

True/False: If someone has a higher EDP there is less damage to the heart.

What is a normal wedge pressure?

If the RBCs go through the lungs faster than 7-12mmHg what happens?

True or False: The higher the wedge pressure the faster the RBCs go through the lungs and the less O2 they are able to acquire.

COPD is elevated wedge pressure. True or False

COPD O2 sats can be in the low to mid 80s. True or false

Why is the wedge pressure indicative of the LA pressure?

When the mitral valve leaflets open up and the wedge catheter is able to see into the LV what is the pressure that it sees?

What is a normal LV EDP?

If the LV EDP goes up and the LA pressure goes up, what other pressure would you expect to rise?

What would increase your right atrial pressure?

Where would you see a high RA pressure demonstrated on a patient?

If a person has an RV MI will the RV systolic pressure be affected?

Would an RV MI affect the diameter of the pulmonic valve or the diameter of the pulmonic arteries?

If a person has an RV MI would the RV EDP be affected?

What would cause the LV systolic pressure to increase?

What would cause your LVEDP to increase but not increase your LV systolic pressure?

As the EF (ejection fraction) goes down the EDP (end diastolic pressure) _________ ___________.

What is the RV systolic pressure of pulmonic stenosis?

What happens to the pressure in the RA in the case of tricuspid regurgitation?

What is the PA pressure in COPD?

What is the special protective factor of the LA?

What is the PA pressure in someone with mitral stenosis?

What is the pulmonary artery pressure in someone with mitral regurgitation?

Which chamber of the heart is larger LV or RV?

Can your PA pressure ever be greater than your RV systolic pressure?

What is the PCWP of mitral regurgitation?

What is the PCWP of mitral stenosis?

What is the PCWP of an LV MI?

What is a normal RVEDP?

What is a normal LVEDP?

EDP represents ________?

When we measure CO in a patient, which ventricle are we measuring it out of?

True or False: The RV and LV have the same number of muscle fibers, but the LV works harder and therefore gets bigger in diameter.

What is a normal RV systolic pressure?

What is the normal systolic LV pressure?

Is the LVEF the same as the RVEF?

Is the stroke volume in the RV the same as the LV?

Is the CO the same in the LV and RV?

What is the normal O2 concentration of a RBC leaving the lungs?

What is the normal O2 concentration of a RBC when it returns to the RA?

How much O2 is a RBC able to give up to the organs?

True/False: If someone has a higher EDP there is less damage to the heart.
