OYO Stenosis often causes a of blood because passage of “backlog” blood through the valve is restricted. This backlog often leads to edema. (See fig. 18.1) Pulmonary edema (noticed as shortness of breath, SOB) would suggest a problem with which valve(s)? Explain? Systemic edema (usually visible first at feet and ankles) would suggest a problem with which valve(s)? Explain? 4 - Identify the apex and the base of the heart. anterior side Identify the of the heart by locating the interventricular sulcus that runs diagonally from top pulmonary trunk left to lower right. Then find the passing out of the RV towards the upper left. (Remember: R & L belong to the patient.) Because they sometimes cut so close to the heart when superior and inferior removing it they often cut off the vena cava and sometimes even the top portions of the atria. The vena cavae often fuse into one vessel before entering the RA. You should find a large into the “hole” pulmonary arteries and veins RA where they entered. are usually absent for the same reason.
