  • About __% of coronary blood flow occurs during diastole at basal heart rates, so coronary perfusion is driven chiefly by ______ BP, not ______ pressure.
A
  • About 80% of coronary blood flow occurs during diastole at basal heart rates, so coronary perfusion is driven chiefly by diastolic BP, not systolic pressure.

  • What effects do the following agents have on the contractility of the heart, and through what mechanisms?

    3. Caffeine (+ milrinone)
A
  1. Propanolol
    • Negative inotropic agent
    • A non-selective beta blocker that does not allow NE to bind to the Gs subunit of Adenyl cyclase.
      • This stops the conversion of ATP to cAMP.
  2. Verapamil
    • Negative inotropic agent
      • Blocks the influx of Ca2+ through the L-type Calcium channels, thus decreasing calcium within the cells and decreasing contraction force.
  3. Caffeine (+ milrinone)
    • Positive inotropic agent
    • Inhibits the conversion of cAMP to AMP by phosphodiesterase III.

Q
  • What does hyperkalemia do the resting membrane potential of cardiac myocytes, what effect does this have on action potentials?
A
  • Hyperkalemia reduces the Nernst K+ equilibrium potential and, therefore, the resting membrane potential.
  • This, in turn, diminishes the action potential, because the low resting potential prevents many Na+ channels from resetting from the inactivated state to the closed- but-activatable state.
