5-cardio Flashcards
what is cardiac output= (what is multiplied)
stroke volume x heart rate
what is venous return
rate of return of blood to heart
what is afterload
resistance heart has to pump against determined by arteriolar pressure and peripheral resistance
what is preload
stress on ventricular wall before systole
what does left ventricular end diastolic pressure =
preload
what does preload=
what does left ventricular end diastolic pressure
what does cardiac work =
stroke volume x arterial pressure
what does increased cardiac work do to oxygen consumption
increases
what happens to stroke volume when left ventricular end diastolic pressure increases
increases
what happens to cardiac work when left ventricular end diastolic pressure increases
increases
what happens with a venodilator to preload
it decreases
what happens with a venodilator to stroke volume
decreases
what happens with a venodilator to cardiac work
decreases
what does arteriolar vasodilators do to afterload
decreases
what does arteriolar vasodilators do to arterial pressure
decrease
what does arteriolar vasodilators do to cardiac work
decrease
how do the coronary vessels react with an increased O2 demand
they dilate
what can cause an increase in O2 demand
stress or exercise
what causes angina
when oxygen demand is greater than supply
what 5 things can increase local coronary flow
- low o2 tension
- high co2 tension
- release of lactate
- release of adenosine
- presence of prostacyclin (PGI2)
what direction does coronary flow occur (where does it start and end)
from aorta to ventricles
what is systole (pressure difference with ventricles and aorta)
pressure in ventricles greater than pressure in aorta
what is diastole (pressure difference with ventricles and aorta)
pressure in aorta greater than in ventricles
what can mechanical pressure do to systole
prevent it
does coronary flow happen during diastole or systole
diastole
what happens to mechanical pressure in diastole
reduce
what does coronary perfusion pressure =
coronary artery diastolic pressure - left ventricular end diastolic pressure
what happens with alpha receptor activation
constriction
what happens with beta2 receptor activation
dilation
what happens to coronary vessels when there is angina/ischemia
maximally dilated (they want to get as much blood as possible)
what happens when you use coronary dilators with angina
more flow to normal area and less to ischaemic areas - coronary steal
