Q

Purpose of isovolumetric contraction

A

btw r and s - beginning of systole

33
Q

End Diastolic Volume - Regulation of SV

A

Preload
Length tension relation and amount of filling
Changing the length by how much you are filling it with

34
Q

Aortic Pressure/Mean Arterial Pressure - Regulation of SV

A

Afterload
Pressure the heart pumps against to eject blood
Aortic pressure that heart is fighting against to get flow out

35
Q

Inc in afterload will… (SV)

A

SV will decrease

36
Q

Inc in preload will… (SV)

A

SV will increase

37
Q

Strength of Ventricular contraction - Regulation of SV

A

Contractility

How forcefully the heart contracts

38
Q

What is the major factor controlling Q

A

The amount of blood returning to the heart

The heart can do no more than pump out what it receives

39
Q

Inc contractility does what to SV

A

Increase SV

40
Q

Frank Starling Mechanism

A

EDV - Preload
Greater preload results in stretch of ventricles
Inc in stretch optimizes # of CB formation
And this leads to more force and more CO and more SV

41
Q

As you stretch the heart you will…

A

Fill it and optimize CB formation

42
Q

Ca affinity for TnC is greater with

A

sarcomere length

43
Q

The skeletal muscle pump

A

Milking action of muscle
Rhythmic muscle contractions force blood toward the heart
Decreased venous pressure sucking more blood through muscle

44
Q

Generally what does skeletal muscle pump do

A

Increase venous return back to the heart

Increase blood flow to muscle

45
Q

What prevents backflow of blood

A

One way valves

46
Q

EVD is also affected by

A

Venoconstriction

Respiratory pump - breathe in you are dec pressure and this facilitates bringing flow into the heart

47
Q

Mean Arterial Pressure

A

Afterload
Force opposing the ejection of blood from ventricles
Increasing the afterload increases the force required by the heart to eject blood into aorta
You are dec pressure gradient - making heart work harder

48
Q

Ventricular Contractility

A

Intrinsic ability of cardiac muscle to generate force at given fiber length
Independet of pre and after load
Usually associated with change in intracellular Ca

49
Q

Ventricular Contractility is induced by

A

Circulating EPI and NE

Direct sympathetic stimulation of heart

50
Q

B1 effects on tissues

A

Inc heart rate and glycogenolysis and lipolysis and contractility

51
Q

B2 effects on tissues

A

Inc bronchodilation and vasoconstriction

52
Q

A1 effects on tissue

A

Inc vasoconstriction

53
Q

A2 effects on tissue

A

Opposes B1 and B2 receptors

54
Q

CO =

A

HR x SV
HR - intrinsic and syp and para
SV - preload (EDV), afterload (MAP), contractility

55
Q

SV =

A

EDV - ESV

56
Q

Ways to evaluate contractility

A

Ejection Fraction
End Systolic Pressure Volume Relation
Change in pressure over change in time

57
Q

Ejection Fraction

A

SV/EDV
Used as index for evaluating heart failure
less than 30%

58
Q

End Systolic Pressure Volume Relation

A

Slope of a line connecting aortic valve closing to max isovolumetric pressure (max pressure achieved during systole)

59
Q

Change in Pressure over Change in Time

A

Contractility alters rate of pressure developed

60
Q

Increased Contractility does what to SV

A

Increases it

ESV Decreased

61
Q

Increased Preload (filling) does what with SV

A

Increases it

EDV increased

62
Q

Increased afterload (aortic pressure) does what to SV

A

Decreases it

ESV increased

63
Q

Greater SV = what for the heart

A

greater work for the heart, makes it more efficient - is a good thing

64
Q

What does efficiency of the heart mean

A

Work over expenditure

Expenditure = energy cost, or what you have to invest in it

65
Q

Wall tension and energy expenditure

A

Wall tension is where most of the energy from the heart is going - this puts more stress (bad) on the heart

66
Q

What are smaller fractions that are associated with energy expenditure

A

Kinetic energy and external work

67
Q

Stress on heart is determined by what

A
  1. Afterload (greater wall tension required)
  2. HR (more time in systole)
  3. Rate Pressure Product
68
Q

Rate Pressure Product

A

SBP x HR

How much investment you are making; the stress load (decreases with exercise)

69
Q

Ideal stress on heart

A

Low wall tension and less time in systole

70
Q

Heart Rate is affected by

A

Symp and Para NS (ANS)

71
Q
