Q

calcium cycling

A
  1. Ca entry thru voltage Ca channels
  2. diffuse to ryanodine receptor on SR membrane
  3. Ca released from SR
  4. troponin interaction = contraction from shortening sarcomere (actin/myosin
  5. Ca channels close (phase 3) = dec intracell Ca bc no more enters cell
  6. Ca sequestered to SR by SERCA pump and out of cell by Ca exchanger (NCX) and pump

23
Q

reduced ejection pressure and volume

A

LV pressure falls as muscle cells relax
LV volume dec but slower/reduced than rapid ejection
-vol at end of phase = end systolic volume, residual volume after ejection

24
Q

reduced ejection valves

A

-aortic open as blood ejected
mitral closed

25
Q

isovolumic relaxation pressure & volume

A

LV pressure dramatically dec since myocytes complete relax
LV vol not change

26
Q

isovolumic relaxation valves

A

both aortic and mitral closed

27
Q

isovolumic relaxation sounds

A

S2
closure of semilunar valves = vibrations of fluid and tissue

28
Q

rapid filling ECG

A

isoelectric line, flat
myocytes are relaxed

29
Q

rapid filling pressure & volume

A

LV pressure low (lower than LA pressure) so passive move blood from atrium to ventricle

LV volume inc rapidly

30
Q

rapid filling valves

A

aortic closed
mitral open

31
Q

rapid filling sounds

A

S3
from ventricles filling fast

can be healthy or pathologic

32
Q

reduced filling ECG

A

isoelectric line still
-myocytes relaxed
ends with P wave

33
Q

reduced filling pressure & volume

A

LV pressure low
LV volume inc but slower/reduced

34
Q

reduced filling valves

A

aortic closed
mitral open

35
Q

reduced filling sounds

A

natta

36
Q

differences with right heart pump

A

all other cycle cards about left heart
-R same events just lower pressure
-only gets to 20 mmHg vs 120 on L

resistance of pulmonary circ lower than systemic circ

37
Q

waves of atrial pressure curve

A
  1. a wave = contraction, H ascent before as venous return inc pressure, X descent after a wave
  2. c wave = early systole, tricuspid valve bulges into RA from isovolumic contraction of vent, X’ descent after
  3. v wave= venous return then open AV valve, isovolumic relaxation of vent, Y descent

low yield for exam, importnat 2nd year

38
Q

stroke volume is

A

end diastolic vol - end systolic vol

amount blood ejected by heart in one beat

39
Q

ejection fraction is

A

stroke volume (end diastolic-systolic) / end diastolic vol
x 100

proportion of blood ejection with each contraction, index of cardiac fxn 65-70% normal

40
Q

fractional shortening is

A

(end diastolic-end systolic diameter) / end diastolic diameter
x100

index of cardiac contractility/myocyte shortening

41
Q

relationship b/t HR and cycle duration

A

inverse- as HR inc CC dec

diastole duration changes the most, not uniform over all phases

42
Q

bookends of systole

A

S1 = close AV valve
S2 = close semilunar

43
Q

heart sounds during inspiration

A

S2 split into A2 and P2

P2 is delayed (comes after A2), inc venous return

A2 is earlier than during expiration, dec venous return

aortic valve closes before pulmonic

44
Q

wide splitting

A

A2 and P2 are farther apart
-pulmonic stenosis

pulmonic valve closes slower than normal

45
Q

paradoxical splitting heart sounds

A

aka reverse, P2 before A2
-aortic stenosis, during expiration

aortic valve close slower than normal

46
Q

narrow splitting

A

higher resistance in pulmonary circ
-hypertension, age?

47
Q

blood flow

closed circulation

A
  1. vena cava
  2. R atrium
  3. tricuspid valve (AV)
  4. R ventricle
  5. pulmonic valve (semilunar)
  6. pulmonary circulation- to lungs
  7. L atrium
  8. mitral valve (AV)
  9. L ventricle
  10. aortic valve (semilunar)
  11. aorta
  12. systemic circulation
48
Q

regurgitant murmur

A

from blood flow across valve when it should NOT be
-regurgitant valves don’t close

49
Q

stenotic murmur

A

blood flow turbelently across valve when it normally should be
-stenotic valves don’t open

50
Q

ejection murmur

A

type of systolic (b/t S1 and S2)

from aortic or pulmonic valve stenosis

51
Q

pansystolic/holosystolic murmur

A

type of systolic

from regurgitant AV valve or VSD

52
Q

late murmur

A

type of systolic murmur

from mitral valve prolapse

53
Q

early murmur

A

type of diastolic (after S2 before S1)

from regurgitant aortic or pulmonic valve
-if aortic then lower forward stroke volume bc blood goes back into ventricle

54
Q

mid-late murmur

A

type of diastolic murmur

from stenotic AV valve

55
Q

what phases is mitral valve open

A

ventricular filling so
1. atrial systole
2. rapid filling
3. reduced filling
