Cardiac Lecture 2 Flashcards
what is the equation for stroke volume
EDV-ESV
what is the equation for EF
SV/ EDV
equation for cardiac output
HR x SV
what does pre-load refer to?
amount of blood returned to the heart/ the amount eh ventricles are stretched
what does afterload refer to?
the amount of arterial pressure
does cardiac output increase or decrease with age?
decrease
what is the normal cardiac output for men?
5.6 L/min
what is the normal cardiac output for a woman?
4.9 L/min
what is the max cardiac output for an average person?
15-20 L/min (3X increase)
does max HR increase or decrease in old age?
decrease
equation for HR based on age
220-age = HR
what is the gold standard to measure cardiac output
echocardiography
-measures SV by measuring blood flow through left ventricular outflow tract
what is swan Ganz pulmonary wedge pressure
- measures cardiac output
- catheter in pulmonary artery and occludes vessel
- equal to left atrial pressure
the Fick Principle
- measures cardiac output
- VCO2/ (Ca02-Cv02)
the role of angiotensin II
- circulating hormone
- induce the release of Ca2+ in cardiac myocytes
- facilitates the release of NE from nerve terminals
- positive inotropic
the role of thyroid hormones
- regulate metabolism
- positive chronotropic and inotropic effects
the role of insulin
- increases the uptake of glucose
- positive inotropic effects
the role of glucagon
- increases blood glucose
- chronotropic (increases cAMP) and inotropic effects
what effect does hypokalemia have on the cardiac myocyte cells
low extracellular K+ increases the gradient so intracellular K+ will want to move out of the cell quicker
- inside of the cell becomes more negative as positive charge leaves
- HYPERPOLARIZATION of the cell membrane, makes harder to get an action potential
what effect does hyperkalemia have on cardiac contraction
- high extracellular K+ decreases the gradient and causes DEPOLARIZATION
- muscle weakness from inadequate action potential
- blocks conduction
what vessels serve as reservoirs for blood
- pulmonary circulation
2. veins, venues, and venous sinus
what tissues does an artery have
- fibrous tissue
- elastic tissue
- both expand and contract rapidly - endothelium: to secrete nitric oxide
- smooth muscle: to constrict and vasodilate
what tissues does the arteriole have
- endothelium
- smooth muscle
- major function is to constrict and dilate
- lot of smooth muscle and surface area to change blood flow to different tissues
tissues of a capillary
- endothelium
- gas exchange; allows one RBC to pass at a time
tissues of a venule
- endothelium
2. fibrous tissue
tissues of a vein
similar to arteries
what dictates flow and resistance of where the blood goes
arterioles
what is CO equation for flow
Change in pressure / resistance
MABP- CVP/ SVR
systolic and diastolic pressure in the aorta
120/5
pressure in the systemic capillaries
17
central venous pressure
2= right atrium
systolic and diastolic pressure in the right ventricle
25/1
systolic and diastolic pressures in pulmonary arteries
25/8
pressure in pulmonary capillaries
7
pressure in pulmonary veins
2
what will happen to MABP if there is an increase in resistance but CO stays the same?
MABP will increase
what will happen to MABP if you increase CO with the same resistance?
MABP will increase
what two things effect pulse pressure
- stroke volume
- the greater the SV the greater the PP - Compliance
- the less the compliance the greater the PP (systolic pressure)
