Introduction to Cardiovascular Care
by Introduction to Cardiovascular Care
Review of the Cardiovascular System, Assessment and DiagnosticsDescribe the structures and function of the heart:– Heart– Pericardium– Cardiac Muscle layers– Chambers of the heart– Chordae tendinae and Papillary muscles– Coronary circulationFour layers of heart tissueEndocardium, Myocardium, epicardium, and pericardium.Focus on the pericardium for this review:The pericardium is a tough fibrous sac that anchors the heart to the chest wall and provides protection.There are three layers of the pericardium: the fibrous pericardium and the Serous pericardium, which contain the two remaining layers: the visceral layer (closest to the epicardium) and the parietal layer or outermost layer.Between the 2 Serous layers is a space that contains fluid. This provides cushion for protection and lubrication between the layers during the cardiac cycle.Pericarditis: INFLAMMATION OF THE PERICARDIAL SACCauses• Viral• Bacterial• Acute MI• Cancer• Rheumatic Fever – Caused by Strep A (
