C2- Cardiac Hemodynamics Flashcards
How is Potential energy created?
Another word for PE?
By contracting of ventricles and vascular resistance from arteries
Static pressure
Has the ability to do work
what is gravitational energy?
effect of gravity on static pressure
Think of LE venous return
whats normal BP?
whats a high BP?
Norm: 120/80 (systolic/diastolic)
High: >140/90
What is mean arterial pressure?
avg. pressure over the cardiac cycle
How much of the cardiac cycle does Systole occupy?
Diastole?
Systole: 1/3 of the cycle (at resting HR)
Diastole: 2/3 of the cycle (at resting HR)
What happens to the sys/dias ratios if HR increases?
Systole Increases
Diastole Decreases
How do you calculate mean arterial pressure?
MAP= Diastolic pressure + 1/3 (Systolic blood press - diastolic blood press)
whats a press gradient?
difference of press between to locations within the heart
whats the natural direction of flow if theres a press gradient present?
flow from high to low press
whats the relationship between press and velocity?
directly proportional
whats Bernoulli’s equation?
Change in P = 4(velocity)2
what are the 4 phases of the cardiac cycle?
- IVCT - isovolumic contraction time
- systole
- IVRT - isovolumic relaxation time
- diastole
when does IVCT occur and whats happened in this phase?
how long does it last?
IVCT is the period of time between MV closure and AV valve opening
- press in LV is rising fron 5-80 mmHg
- just before ventricles contract
lasts 30-50 ms
what press must the LV reach for the AO valve to open?
80 mmHg
are the valves open or closed during IVCT?
ALL are closed
what is ventricular systole?
what initiates and stops?
the period of time it takes for the ventricles to eject their contents
initiate: when the ventricular pressure exceeds that of the AO and the SL valves open
stops: when the ventricular pressure is lower than that of the AO and the SL valves open
are valves active of passive structures?
passive
where does muscles contraction begin?
apex
how long does ventricular systole last?
200-300ms
when does IVRT occur and what happens in this phase?
how long does it last?
period of time after the AOV/PV have closed but before the MV/TV open
- press falls in the ventircles (below 80mmHg)
- press increasing in atria
- occurs just before the heart relaxes
50-100ms
are the valves open or closed during IVRT?
ALL closed
when does diastole occur and what happens in this phase?
how long does it last?
period of time when the MV/TV are open and blood moves from atria to ventircles
- starts when ventricular press falls below that of the atria
- ends when LV press rises above LA and MV closes
3 phases of diastole
- early filling (suction)
- diastasis
- late filling
describe the early filling phase.
how long does it last?
which ‘bump’ is this?
LV press drops below LA and MV opens, LV chamber fills by sucking blood from the LA
lasts 150-220ms
first bump
