3-Cardiac Cycle Flashcards
excitation-contraction coupling
stim for muscle contraction = depolarizing impulse
-electric events precede mechanical events
-slower/inc time delay in cardiac than skeletal muscle
-calcium induced calcium release
calcium cycling
- Ca entry thru voltage Ca channels
- diffuse to ryanodine receptor on SR membrane
- Ca released from SR
- troponin interaction = contraction from shortening sarcomere (actin/myosin
- Ca channels close (phase 3) = dec intracell Ca bc no more enters cell
- Ca sequestered to SR by SERCA pump and out of cell by Ca exchanger (NCX) and pump
sympathetic stim excitation-contraction
- beta adrenergic act of muscle
- inc cAMP and PKA
- enhance act of Ca channels
- inc intracell Ca and release from SR
- enhance myosin ATPase activity
- inc toponin C ‘iontropy’
- inc Ca reupatake ‘lusitropy’
inotropy
force of contraction
lusitropy
rate of relaxation
phases of cardiac cycle
- atrial systole
- isovolumic (ventricular) contraction
- ejection - rapid + reduced
- isovolumic (vent) relaxation
- filling- rapid + reduced
ventricular systole is what parts
contraction
isovolumic contraction + ejection
ventricular diastole
aka relaxation
isovolumic relaxation + ventricular filling + atrial systole
things on Wigger’s diagram
- ECG
- muscle tension
- pressures- aortic, LV, LA
- valves
- phonocardiogram/heart sounds
- LV volume
- aortic flow
atrial systole wave components
follows P wave + includes SOME of QRS complex
LV pressure and volume during atrial systole
pressure slightly inc bc atrial kick adds last 20% of volume to ventricle = end diastolic volume, total filling volume
valves during atrial systole
aortic valve closed
mitral valve open-blood entering ventricle
sounds during atrial systole
S4
always abnormal - from forcing blood into non compliant/stiffened ventricle
isovolumic contraction - waves
begins during portion of QRS
pressure/volume
isovolumic contraction
LV pressure inc from ventricular muscle contraction
-volume stays the same
valves - isovolumic contraction
-aortic closed
-mitral closed passively bc pressure differential across valve, mitral>aortic
sounds-isovolumic contraction
S1
first heart sound from closing mitral valve vibrating chordae tendinae and blood
rapid ejection pressure/volume
LV pressure inc more from isovolumic contraction bc still contracting
LV volume dec fastest of any phase
rapid ejection valves
-aortic is open from pressure of other phases, need to overcome aortic pressure
-mitral closed
rapid ejection sounds
none 0 zilch
phase of AP corresponding to rapid ejection
phase 2, ventricle contracting
reduced ejection waves
just before T when relaxation begins in ventricular myocardium, Ca channels close
