    Changes in Cardiac Function

    Uploaded by

    Prabhakar Kumar
    Changes in cardiac function become apparent during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. Cardiac output increases as early as 5 weeks and plasma volume expansion begins between 10 to 12 weeks, increasing preload on the heart. As the pregnancy progresses, the heart is displaced upward and to the left by the elevated diaphragm. Larger cardiac silhouettes can be seen on chest x-rays and changes in heart sounds like an exaggerated splitting of S1 and added sounds like S3 and systolic murmurs are present in most women. Cardiac output is increased at rest and in the left lateral position as pregnancy progresses.

    CHANGES IN CARDIAC FUNCTION

    CHANGES IN CARDIAC FUNCTION BECOMES APPARENT DURING FIRST 8 WKS OF PREGNANCY CARDIAC OUTPUT INCREASES AS EARLY AS 5TH WEEK OF PREG BETWE 10 TO 12 WKS PLASMA VOLUME EXPANSION BEGINS, AND PRELOAD INCREASES HEART AS THE DIAP D

    AS THE DIAPHGRAM GETS ELEVATED HEART IS DISPLACED TO LEFT UPWARD AND IS ROATED ON ITS OWN AXIS APEX IS MOVED LATERALLY SOME DEGREE OF BENIGN PERICARDIAL EFFUSION IS PRESENLARGER CARDIAC SILHOUTTE ON CHEST RADIOGRAPH ON ECG THERE IS SLIGHT LEFT AXIS DEVIATION ,CARDIAC SOUNDS ----------------------------EXAGGERATED SPLITTING OF FIRST HEART SOUNDS WITH LOUDNESS OF BOTH COMPONENTS NO CHANGE IN 2ND HEART SOUND A LOUD THIRD HEART SOUND SYSTOLIC MURMER IN 90 % OF WOMAN WHICH INTENSIFIED DURING INSPIRATION,DISSAPEARS SHORTELY AFTER DELIVERY A SOFT DIASTOLIC MURMER IN 20 % CONTINOUS MURMER IN ARISING FROM BREAST VASCULATURE IN 10% INCREASED VENTRICULAR MUSCLE MASS INDEX DOES NOT CORROSPONDS TO HYPERTROPHY

    CARDIAC OUTPUT AT REST INCREASES WHEN MEASURED IN LATERAL RECUMBENT POSITION , BEGINNING IN EARLY PREGNANCY CARDIAC OUTPUT IS INCREASED BY 20 % AT TERM WHEN A WOMAN IS MOVED FROM HER BACK TO LEFT SIDE FETAL OXYGEN SATURATION IS 10% HIGHER WHEN A LABOURING WOMAN IS IN LEFT LAT POSITION IN MULTIFETAL PREG CO IS INCREASED BY 20% BUT THE CARDIOVASCULAR RESERVE IS REDUCED

    ARTERIAL PRESSURE USUALLY DECREASES TO A NADIR BY 24 T 26WKS AND RISES THEREAFTER, DIASTOLIC PRESSURE DECREASES MORE THAN SYSTOLIC BRACHIAL ARTERY PRESSURE IS MORE IN LLP THAN SITTING ANTECUBITAL VENOUS PRESSURE REMAINS UNCHANGED BUT FEMORAL SSURE RISES STEADELY THERE IS TENDENCY TOWARDS STAGNATION OF BLOOD FLOW IN LOWER EXTRE DUR LATERNG LATER HALF OF PREGNANCY WHICH IS DUE TO OCCLUSION OF PELVIC VEINS AND IVC BY ENLARGED UT,THIS LEADS TO ELEVATED VENOUS PRESSURE.WHICH NORMALIZES WHEN A WOMAN LIES ON HER SIDE.THIS EXPLAINS DDEPENDANT EDEMA DEVELOPMENT OF VARICOSE VEINS IN LEGS VULVA AND HAEMORROIDS,PREDISPOSES TO DVT
