Cardiac Physiology - Normal Values and Equations Flashcards
How to approximate the mean arterial pressure at a normal heart rate?
MAP = diastolic P + 1/3 pulse pressure
Normal BP for an adult?
120/80
Pulse pressure?
Systolic P - Diastolic P
What equation relates flow, pressure, and resistance?
Q = ΔP/R
Equation to calculate cardiac output?
CO = HR x SV
Normal CO value?
5L/min
Normal SV for a 170 lb person?
70 mL
Formula for CI?
CI = CO / m^2
CI for 170 lb person?
CI = 5/1.5 = 3.3 L/min/m^2
Formula for SI?
SI = SV/ m^2
What is the unit of resistance?
mmHg/mL/min
Normal resistance of the systemic circulation?
0.02 PRU
1 m3 = x L?
1 L
1 L = x cm3?
1,000 cm3
1 L = x mm3?
1,000,000 mm3
Equation for ejection fraction?
Ejection fraction = SV/EDV
Equation for end diastolic volume?
EDV = SV + ESV
% of cardiac output going to the brain? VO2?
13%
VO2: = 21%
% of cardiac output going to the coronary circulation? VO2?
4%
VO2 = 11%
% of cardiac output going to the liver and GIT? VO2?
24%
VO2 = 23%
% of cardiac output going to skeletal muscles? VO2?
21%
VO2 = 27%
% of cardiac output going to the kidneys? VO2?
20%
VO2 = 7%
% of cardiac output going to the skin and other organs? VO2?
18%
VO2 = 11%
What vessels account for most of the resistance of the CV system? What to note?
- Small arteries/arterioles: 47%
- Capillaries: 27%
- Large arteries: 19%
- Veins: 7%
Highest resistance in arterioles though
Breakdown % of blood in systemic vs pulmonary circulation?
Systemic circulation => 90% of the blood
Pulmonary circulation => 10% of the blood
Pulmonary arterial pressure?
25/10 mmHg
Pulmonary MAP?
15 mmHg
Where is the largest pulse pressure found in the CV system? What is it?
LV: 120
Where is the lowest pulse pressure found in the CV system? What is it?
RV: 20
Normal venous pressure?
2-6 mmHg
Normal RA pressure?
9/4 mmHg (5)
Normal LA pressure (wedge)?
12/5 mmHg (10)
Normal RV end-diastolic pressure?
< 6 mmHg
Normal LV end-diastolic pressure?
4-12 mmHg
What is the actual equation to measure CO using the indicator-dilution technique?
I/C.T
I = mass of indicator injected C = mean dye concentration T = duration of 1st circulation
