An Individuals blood pressure is a standard clinical measurement • Is considered a good indicator of the status of the cardiovascular system. • Blood pressure values in the various chambers of the heart and in the peripheral vascular system help the physician determine the functional integrity of the cardio vascular system.

Direct (invasive) • Extravascular Method • The vascular pressure is coupled to an external sensor element via a liquid filled catheter. • [Catheter – is a long tube introduced into the heart or a major vessel by way of a superficial vein or artery.] • 2. Intravascular • A sensor is placed into the tip of a catheter that is placed in the vascular system. • Indirect (non invasive) • Sphygmomanometer • Consists of an inflatable pressure cuff and a manometer to measure the pressure in the cuff.

The extra vascular sensor system is made up of a catheter. • The catheter is connected to a three way stopcock and then to a pressure sensor • It is filled with a saline-heparin solution. • It must be flushed with solution every few minutes to prevent blood clotting at the tip. Direct MeasurementExtra Vascular BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
Physician inserts the catheter • Either by means of a surgical cut-down, which exposes the artery or vein. • or by means of percutaneous insertion which involves the use of a special needle or guide-wire technique. • Blood pressure is transmitted via the catheter column to the sensor and finally to the diaphragm which is deflected. • The displacement of the diaphragm is sensed electronically.

Direct MeasurementExtra Vascular contd… • Disadvantages • The frequency response of the catheter-sensor system is limited by the hydraulic properties of the system. • Creates time delay in detection of pressures when a pressure pulse is transmitted. BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
Direct MeasurementIntravascular • The sensor is placed at the tip of the catheter. • Enables the physician to obtain a high frequency response in detection of pressures at the tip of the catheter. • Types of sensors • Strain-gage systems • bonded onto a flexible diaphragm at the catheter tip. • Fibre-optic device • Measures the displacement of the diaphragm optically by varying reflection of light from the back of the deflecting diaphragm. BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
Consists of strain-sensitive gages which are firmly bonded with an adhesive to the membrane or diaphragm whose movement is to be recorded. • Made by taking a length of a very thin wire or foil which is formed into a grid pattern and bonded to a backing material. • Is then attached to the diaphragm. • Deflection of the diaphragm causes corresponding strain in the wire gage. • Causes a corresponding change in the resistance which is proportional to the pressure.

Heart sounds are vibrations or sounds due to the acceleration or deceleration of blood. • Murmurs are vibrations or sounds due to blood turbulence. • The technique of listening to sounds produced by the organs and vessels of the body is called auscultation.

Heart Sounds … BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
With each heartbeat, the normal heart produces two distinct sounds that are audible in the stethoscope – often described as “lub-dub” • The “lub” is caused by the closure of atrioventricular valves and is called the first heart sound • occurs approximately at the time of QRS complex of the ECG and just before ventricular systole. • The “dub” part of the heart sounds is called the second heart sound and is caused by the closing of the semilunar valves • Which closes at the end of the systole, just before the atrioventricular valve opens. • Occurs at the time of the end of the T wave of the ECG • The third heart sound attributed to the sudden termination of the rapid filling phase of the ventricles from the atria and the associated vibration of the ventricular muscle walls., which are relaxed.

There are optimal recording sites for the various heart sounds. Auscultation Techniques BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
Heart sounds and murmurs have extremely small amplitudes with frequencies from 0.1 to 2000 Hz. • Thus the recording device must be carefully selected for wide band frequency response characteristics. • Specially designed acoustically quiet environment is needed for noise free recording of heart sounds. Auscultation Techniques… BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
Mechanical stethoscopes amplifies sound because of Standing wave phenomenon that occur at quarter-wavelengths of the sound. • Uneven frequency response with many resonance peaks. • Firm application of the chest piece makes the diaphragm taut with pressure thereby causing an attenuation of low frequencies. • Loose-fitting earpiece cause leakage which reduces the coupling between the chest wall and the ear. • Electronics stethoscopes has selectable frequency response characteristics ranging from “ideal” flat-response to selectable band-pass response.

A Phonocardiogram is a recording of the heart sounds and murmurs. • Eliminates subjective interpretation of the heart sounds • Enables evaluation of the heart sounds and murmurs with respect to the electric and mechanical events in the cardiac cycle. • Evaluation of the result is based on the basis of changes in the wave shape and various timing parameters.

The process of introducing a catheter into the heart for diagnosis. • Used to asses hemodynamic (circulation of the blood and the forces involved) function and cardiovascular structure. • Performed during most of the heart surgeries. • Performed in specialized laboratories outfitted with x-ray equipment for visualizing heart structures and the position of various pressure catheters. Cardiac Catheterization BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
A radiopaque die is injected into the ventricles or aorta through the catheter for assessing the ventricular or aortic function • Pressures in all four chambers of the heart and in the great vessels can be measured by positioning the catheters in such a way to recognize the characteristics pressure waveforms.

The pressure cuff on the upper arm is first inflated to a pressure well above the systolic pressure. • At this point no sound can be heard through the stethoscope, which is placed over the brachial artery, for that artery has been collapsed by the pressure of the cuff. • The pressure in the cuff is then gradually reduced. Indirect Blood Pressure Measurement - Sphygmomanometer BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
When the systolic peaks are higher than the occlusive pressure, the blood spurts under that cuff and causes a palpable pulse in the wrist (Riva-Rocci Method) • Audible sounds (Korotkoff (named after Dr. Nikolai Korotkoff) sounds) generated by the flow of blood and vibrations of the vessel under the cuff are heard through the stethoscope. Sphygmomanometery… BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
The pressure of the cuff that is indicated on the manometer when the first Korotkoff sound is heard is recorded as the systolic blood pressure. • As the pressure in the cuff is continues to drop, the Korotkoff sounds continue until the cuff pressure is no longer sufficient to occlude the vessel during any part of the cycle. Below this pressure the Korotkoff sounds disappear, marking the value of the diastolic pressure. Sphygmomanometery … BME 311 LECTURE NOTE 3 - ALİ IŞIN, 2014
Auscultatory (based on the Korotkoff sounds) technique is simpler and requires a minimum of equipment. • Cannot be used in noisy environments. • Palpation (based on pulse on the blood vessel) technique doesn’t require a noise free environment. • Normal respiration and vasomotor waves modulate the normal blood-pressure levels.
