cardiac tamponade
excess compression on heart which results in inability to effectively pump blood
ventricles can not move blood & life threatening
pericardiocentesis
drainage of excess fluid from pericardial cavity
left angle
5th/6th intercostal space near sternum
Right ventricle in systole
contracts
force blood through the OPEN pulmonary valve
Tricupsid valve is CLOSED, preventing backflow into R atrium
R ventricle in diastole
relax
tricupsid valve OPEN blood fill R atrium
pulmonary valve CLOSED prevent backflow into pulmonary trunk
Papillary muscles & MI
MI can cause rupture of posteromedial papillary muscle
then cause mitral valve prolapse

Right Dominant Heart
70% of people
posterior interventricular artery is pranch of right coronary artery
need to know for bypass or grafting procedures
causes of coronary artery disease
collateral circulation
myocardial ischemia/infarction
artherosclerosis
artherosclerosis
build up of lipid in lining of coronary artery
restrict flow to myocardium
collateral circulation
when coronary arteries blocked, compensate by using collateral blood vessels
insufficient to meet heart demand in activity
myocardial ischemia
mismatch blood supply & myocardial oxygen demand
cardiac referred pain
perceive as arising somatic structures like chest wall & arm as visceral & somatic afferent fibers merge
visceral heart pain
by visceral afferent fibers (T1-4)
accompany by sympathetic efferent fibers
Refers to dermatomes T1-4
anginal heart pain
radiate from substernal & Left pec region to left shoulder & medial L arm
T1-4
Most common sites of coronary artery occlusion
Left anterior descending artery
Right coronary artery
left circumflex artery
obtuse marginal artery
diagonal artery
posterior descending artery
percutaneous transluminal cornary angioplasty
open blockage via iunflated balloon or thrombokinase enzyme
stent placed to prevent re-narrow
new blood clots can form
coronary bypass graft
saphenous vein, internal thoracic artery or radial artery grafts
connect one end to aorta & other to coronary artery that then bypass blocked area
Infective endocarditis
bacterial or fungal infections that affect mitral & aortic valves mostly
Microorganisms, white blood cells, platelets, and fibrin form vegetations. These enlarge/dislodged, causing
embolism to vital organs like the brain and coronary arteries
Valves can be impair by vegetation
pulmonary artery hypertenstion
persistent increase mean arterial presure above 25mmHGat rest
more work on R ventricle & causes hypertrophy which eventually R side heart failure
Can also cause dilation to coronary sinus which impacts blood supply not just flow
3 main layers of large/elastic arteries
tunica intima
tunica media
tunica adventitia
*Travel along surface
tunica intima (large/elastic arteries)
endothelial cells
tunica media (large/elastic arteries)
many layers smooth musc
lots elastic fibers
tunica adventitia (large/elastic arteries)
connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, macrophages
main layers of medium/muscular arteries
tunica intima
tunica media (different contents)
tunica adventitia
*travel along surface
tunica media of medium/muscular arteries
litttle elastic fibers, prominent elastic membranes at boundaries
layers of arterioles
tunica intima
tunica media (differnt)
tunica adventitia (different)
*inside organs/tissues
tunica media in arterioles
few layers of smooth muscles, normally 2 layers max
what makes tunica adventitia differnt in arterioles
connective tissue aspect is continuous with connective tissye of surrounding system
Passive & active regulatioijn of arteries/arterioles
stretch/recoil due to hemodynamic forces
contract/relax via humoral factors, biochem influences, autonomic innervation
autonomic innervation receptors for arteries/arterioles
coronary arteries only one by both sympathetic & parasympathetic
alpha 1 (symp) cause contraction - vasoconstriction
beta (symp) cause realxation - vasodfilation
alpha 2 (symp) are pre-synaptic auto-receptors
Adrenal NE/E similar as direct sympathetic
cardiac conducting cells
have processes of bundles & Purkinje fibers that from nodes to cardiac tissue
use mostly fatty acids
modification of spontaneous rhythm contraction
neuronal input by ANS
sympathetic increase rhythm/force of contract
parasympathetic decrease rhythm/force
Detection of MI
increased troponin levels
tissue damage where loss cardiac m,uscle replace by connective tissue
True aneurysm
Weakening of Tunica MEDIA
form @ branching points of arteries
when can’t hold shape, especially recoil
Saccular (one side of artery wall stretch)
fusiform (both side artery wall stretch)
Hematoma (fake aneurysm)
rupture of artery wall, but bleeding self-contained
false aneurysm - form visible hemotoma between artery wall & extravasc connective tissue
Dissection - tear in intima & blood pools there
Sequelae of aneurysm
potential for rupture/bleed
remain intact but compress neighbor area of artery, decrease blood flow
arteriovenous malformations
failure form capillary bed
artery/ateriole entagle with vein
no blood-brain exchange
can rupture & bleed
form gradual = other vessels supply capillaries
form fast = no compensation = ischemia
artery disease (artherosclerosis & plaques)
breach in endothelium
WBC cross over to respond to chage
microphages bloat (foam cell)
smooth muscle cells proliferate to surround & reduce chance of rupture
narrow diameter
plaque activate clot cascade
cclot can rupture & cause embolism
Cardiac muscle action potential
Ventricular action potential
Phase 0 - rapid depolarization (Na influx)
Phase 1 - early depolarization ( Na gate close, K start reflux)
Phase 2 - Plateau (Ca leak in, k eflux continue but now balanced)
Phase 3 - late repolarization (ccs closes, K continue effluent)
Phase 4 - Rest membrane potential - Na/K pump
What calcium receptor/channel are opened during phase 2 of Cardiac AP?
DHPR
What are some DHPR blocking drugs?
Nitrendipine, nimodipine, nifedipine
Stop muscle contraction completely as no calcium release
What is unique about calcium sources in cardiac ventricle AP
Initial calcium from extracellular solution increases calcium content by DHPR
this influx triggers more calcium to release from sarcoplasmic reticulum
What happens to ventricle during phase 2?
Ventricle fills with blood so ready to eject when has energy to
Role of t tubule in cardiac muscle contraction large
Calcium stores in cardiac muscle contraction large t tubule diameter
Mucopolysaccharode bind to store calcium ions
The more calcium the stronger muscle contraction
What happens to impulse as increase dose of calcium channel blockers
Bigger the dose, smaller impulse effect becomes
Creates a sever decease in contraction
Main receptor for increasing HR/force contraction &mechanism
B1 (sympathetic)
Stimulatory, activates adenylate cyclase
Causes increase cAMP from ATP
This activates PKA and in turn increases calcium concentration
Main receptor for increasing HR/force contraction &mechanism
B1 (sympathetic)
Stimulatory, activates adenylate cyclase
Causes increase cAMP from ATP
This activates PKA and in turn increases calcium concentration
Main receptor decreasing HR & mechanism
M2, parasympathetic
Inhibits adenylate cyclase, cause decrease cAMP
In turn no PKA activation, inhibit myosin light chain kinase
No work on smooth muscle
Hyperkalemia phase 3
Raise resting potential
Keep potassium in extra cellular , makes it faster to get back to resting
Shorten phases 2 & 3 to promote efflux
Reduces conduction velocity
Hypokalemia
Lowers resting potential
Lengthen phases 2 & 3
Reduces potassium efflux
Take longer get back to resting state
Effective refractory period
Can make AP but will not conduct
Includes absolute refractory & is longer than
Na channel begins to recover
Relative refractory period
Can’t generate 2 AP
Need greater than normal stimulus
