111 Cardiac Cycle PV Loops Flashcards
cardiac muscle contraction cycle

Pressure vs Time Wiggers Diagram

Windkessel Effect
as we age, arteries have less compliance and the systolic increases and the diastolic decreases so PP increases

Wiggers Pressure Time + ECG

Wiggers Pressure Time + Sounds

Phonocardiogram

Jugular Venous Pulsation

Pressure-Volume Loop

Relating the Wiggers Diagram to the LV Pressure-Volume relationship

Increased Preload on a PV-loop

Effect of increased afterload on PV-loop

Effect of Increased Contractility on PV-Loop

Effect of Decreased LV Compliance on PV loop

End - Systolic Pressure Volume Relationship

Wall Tension: LaPlace Law

Wall Stress: LaPlace Law
WHy wall stress incrase with radius: •High curvature, relatively larger component of force points in, creating pressure, •Low curvature, relatively smaller component of force points in, creating less pressure

Energy utilization in the heart
lose most of energy to heat
