Cardiac Cycle Flashcards
Systole
Contraction
Blood is ejecting
Diastole
Relaxation
Filling
How much does systole do and in what time?
ejects 2/3 of blood
total time = 1/3
How much does diastole do and in what time?
Coronary blood flow filling
total time = 2/3
As you increase heart rate, what is compromised?
Filling - diastole
Movement of blood depends on
Pressure Gradient
What generates the pressure
The heart - by contracting
Purpose of isovolumetric contraction
btw r and s - beginning of systole
causes increase in ventricular pressure
we need to exceed aortic pressure so blood can go from LV to body
End Systolic Volume
What is left in the heart after contracting
End Diastolic Volume
What we filled the heart/ventricle with
EDV - ESV
120-50 = 70
70mL is now in the aorta - this is stroke volume - how much we ejected from the heart
Isovolumetric relaxation purpose
drop pressure
we want to refill heart again so need gradient
need to lower ventricular pressure so its lower than atrial
As filling heart, which will be higher ventricular or atrial
atrial will always be higher during filling
When ventricular is higher than atrial, where will flow go? if valve open
back into atrium
Need to close valve so close AV valves
S1
Closure of mitral and tricuspid valves
lub
S2
closure of aortic and pulmonary valves
dub
S3
rapid ventricular filling
not typically audible in adults
Might indicate congestive heart in adults
S4
active ventricular filling
not typically audible in adults
Stroke volume
How much work the heart is doing
About 70mL
Cardiac Output
Flow out of the heart
HR * SV
Ejection Fraction
SV/EDV
of what you filled the heart with, how much are you actually ejected
Normally about 55%, 30% in heart failure
EF is an index for what
How hard the heart is working
or its contractility
Heart Rate - how regulated
Para and Sym
Can also be intrinsic on its own 100 bpm
Heart rate impacts CO - inc heart rate, compensating so can inc CO
Stroke Volume - how regulated
Sympathetic Nerves
Contractile Strength
EDV - fill heart more
Regulation of Heart Rate - nerves
None needed!
Regulation of Heart Rate with nerves - Symp
F/F - Increases HR via cardiac accelerator nerves (innervate SA node) and then NE binds to B1 adrenergic receptors and inc HR
Regulation of HR with nerves - Para
Dec HR via vagus nerve, Ach binds to muscarinic cholinergic receptors in SA node
Inspiration does what to HR
Increases HR
Exhalation does what to HR
Decreases HR
Atropine
Muscarinic Antagonist - Parasympathetic tone
Propanolol
Beta Blocker - Sympathetic
Preventing inc in HR
At rest, we rely more on sym or para
more on sympathetic then parasympathetic
