Q

How B1 increases contractility

A

B1 activates adenylate cyclase
AC converts to ATP to cAMP
cAMP increases PKA
PKA will;
1. activate more L type Ca channels
2. Stimulate ryr2 receptors to release more Ca
3. Stimulate SERCA2 to increase ca uptake, which will allow for a sooner ca release (both positive inotropy and lusitrophy)

Dilated cardiomyopthy
Chronic aortic insufficiency

79
Q

Systolic- ischemia, valve regrug, dilated cardiomyopathy
Diastolic- stenosis, ischemia, htn, obesity gives u a fat thick septum, cor pulmonale, hypertrophic CMP

81
Q

Compensatory mechanisms of HFrEF

A

Increased SNS, increased RAAS, increased preload

82
Q

How do compensatory mechanisms eventually cause more damage for the heart?

A

SNS- increased myocardial work, down regulation of B receptors
Vasoconstriction- decreased CO
Fluid retention- heart dilations and increased wall stress
remodeling- decreased performance- can be reversed with ACE I and aldosterone antagonists- spironalactone

83

improve sodium and fluid balance via diuresis, vasodilation
Counteracts RAAS?
