Summary

In this student-led teaching session from the University of Sheffield, participants will delve into the depths of CVR anatomy and radiology. Geared towards medical professionals and students, the course will cover a wide variety of topics. These include understanding the mediastinum, the external features of the heart and its blood supply, and the internal structures of the atrium and ventricles. Attendees will also learn about the path of electrical stimulation in the heart, the bone structure of the thorax and the breasts, the position and function of important muscles, and the structure of the lungs. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify basic structures on an X-ray, describe the mechanics of breathing, and understand the intricacies of important body systems. Don't miss your chance to join this comprehensive, student-led exploration of the human anatomy.

The superior vena cava (SVC) returns blood to the heart from the head, neck, and upper limbs. • The oesophagus is a muscular tube that extends stomach. ‘Waves’ of contractions of smoothk to the muscle in the oesophageal wall move swallowed food and fluid distally (peristalsis). • The left and right phrenic nerves, from the C3, C4 and C5 spinal nerves, innervate the diaphragm and pericardium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xZ120mL3l98Vagus nerve and thoracic duct • The left and right vagus nerves (CN X) arise from the brainstem and contain somatic sensory, somatic motor and parasympathetic fibres. • They each give rise to a recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). The left recurrent laryngeal nerve loops under the arch of the aorta • The thoracic duct is a major channel for lymphatic drainage • Trachea divides at T4/5 at level of Carina cartilage.

In these people, both the right and left coronary arteries supply the left ventricle. In those with a left-dominant circulation, the PIVA arises from the circumflex artery, so the left coronary artery supplies the entire left ventricle. • What is the clinical significance if someone is left dominant?Cardiac veins https://guysandstthomasspecialistcare.co.uk/treatments/coronary-sinus-reducer/Structures of the heart https://med.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Anatomy_and_Physiology/Human_Anatomy_%28Lange_et_al.%29/17%3A_Cardiovascular_System_-_Heart/17.02%3A_Heart_AnatomyHeart sounds • Aortic = 2nd intercostal space, just to the right of the sternum. • Pulmonary = 2nd intercostal space, just to the left of the sternum. • Tricuspid = 5th intercostal space, just to the left of the sternum. • Mitral = 5th intercostal space, left midclavicular line. https://journals.rcni.com/nursing-standard/how-to-auscultate-for-heart-sounds-in-adults-ns.2017.e10965Conducting system of Heart https://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2007/08/23/diagram-of-cardiac-conduction-system/Innervations • Sympathetic à cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerve • Have you heard inotropic and chronotropic? • Vagus nerve parasympathetic • Visceral afferent • Referred pain.

He has a history of hypertension and ischemic heart disease. On examination, he is tachypnoeic, with bilateral pitting oedema to the knees and crackles at both lung bases. His blood pressure is 150/90 mmHg, heart rate is 98 bpm, and oxygen saturation is 89% on room air. • Key Investigations: • Blood tests: Elevated BNP levels • Chest X-ray: Awaiting interpretation https://radiopaedia.org/articles/congestive-cardiac-failure Heart failure BNP is B type natriuretic peptide produced by ventricles. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Chest-X-ray-of-congestive-heart-failure-14_fig4_356460418 Sternum What are the 3 parts: Manubrium Body Xiphoid https://www.innerbody.com/image_chest1/skel16.html Ribs 7-10 costal margin 1-7 true 8-10 false 11-12 floating Costovertebral and Costochondral joints Anatomy handbook Typically,theheadofthe ribarticulateswiththe vertebral bodyandthe tubercleofthe ribarticulateswiththe transverseprocessofthe vertebra.Surface anatomy • A series of imaginary vertical lines provide a second coordinate: • Midclavicular line • Anterior axillary line • Mid-axillary line • Posterior axillary line • Ylandmarks on yourself:dentify and palpate these bony • clavicle (collarbone) • manubrium, body, and xiphoid process of the sternum • sternoclavicular joints • suprasternal notch • sternal angle and the second rib at the level of the sternal angle • costal margin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anatomical_lines Breast • The surface landmarks of the nipple (dermatome T4) and the umbilicus (dermatome T10) help us make estimates of the other dermatomes when examining patients.

It attaches to the proximal humerus, the sternum, clavicle and the upper six ribs. • Pectoralis minor is a smaller muscle that is located deep to pectoralis major. It attaches to the scapula (shoulder blade) and ribs 3-5. • Serratus anterior is a superficial muscle that sweeps around the lateral aspect of the thoracic cage. It attaches to the scapula and the upper eight ribs. Anatomy booklet Accessory muscles of breathing.

Key Findings: •Exam: Reduced breath sounds and dull percussion on the right side. •Vitals: BP 140/85, HR 98, RR 24, SpO2 88% (room air). •Background: History of congestive heart failure and a recent episode of pneumonia treated with antibiotics. Questions: 1.What are your differentials? 2.What investigations do you order? 3.Analyze the provided X-ray https://jetem.org/pleural-effusion/Pleural effusion • This occurs where excess fluid occurs between the pericardial layers. This will look the same as Haemothorax but haemothorax is excluded because of the case of heart failure. • Heart failure can lead to pleural effusion due to increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation. When the heart fails to pump efficiently, blood backs up in the veins, raising pressure in the capillaries around the lungs. This causes fluid to leak from the capillaries into the pleural space, leading to a transudative pleural effusion.A patient is under respiratory distress meaning they sat down and are using extra muscles for breathing.
