CVS PHYSIOLOGY
1. BP is calculated as: Cardiac output X peripheral resistance
2. Small cuff, thick walled vessels & obesity will give a: High BP
3. Ejection fraction: Ratio of stroke volume to end diastolic volume (SD/ EDV); 50-70%
4. Stroke volume: Volume of blood ejected with each heart beat (CO/ HR); 70-80 ml
5. Cardiac index: Cardiac output/ Body surface area; 3.2 is the normal value
6. Exchange vessel: Capillaries (maximum surface area)
7. Capacitance vessel: Vein
8. Resistance vessel: Artery/ arteriole
9. Ventricular end diastolic volume: Volume of blood in ventricular cavity at the end of atrial contraction (120 ml); determines preload
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
1. QRS complex is due to: Ventricular depolarization
2. Duration of QRS complex: 0.08 - 0.10 sec
3. 3rd heart sound is hear during: Ventricular fillingphase
4. 'Y' wave in JVP is due to: Opening of AV valve & emptying of blood into ventricle
- Group A – C.A stomach
- Group O – duodenal ulcer
sickle cell anemia - valine is substituted for glutamic acid.

- clotting time is prolonged in presence of normal bleeding time - hemophilia
- Christmas disease - deficiency of factor IX.
