CARDIAC1 A AND P Flashcards
HOW MUCH BLOOD IS LEFT ATRIUM RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO LVEDV VIA ATRIAL KICK?
20-30%
FLUID IN WHAT AREA OF THE HEART CAUSES CARDIAC TAMPONADE?
A THIN POTENTIAL SPACE BETWEEN THE VISCERAL AND PARIETAL PERICARDIUM. IT NORMALLY CONTAINS 10-25 ML OF SEROUS FLUID.
WHAT PART OF THE MYOCARDIUM IS AT GREATEST RISK FOR MI AND WHY?
SUBENDOCARDIUM BECAUSE IT IS SUPPLIED DURING DIASTOLE.
WHAT DOES THE A, C, AND V WAVE REPRESENT?
A= CONTRACTION OF THE RIGHT ATRIUM C = CLOSURE OF THE TRICUSPID VALVE V= PASSIVE FILLING OF THE RIGHT ATRIUM.
WHAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO INCREASE O2 DELIVERY TO THE MYOCARDIUM?
INCREASE BLOOD FLOW TO THE MYOCARDIUM
IF THE HEART RATE IS INCREASED WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE DIASTOLIC FILLING TIME?
ITS DECREASED.
WHEN IS THE LEFT VENTRICLE PERFUSED?…HOW ABOUT THE RIGHT VENT?
LEFT V =75% PERFUSION DURING DIASTOLE
RV=PERFUSED BOTH SYSTOLE AND DIASTOLE.
WHAT IS THE BLOOD FLOW (CO) TO VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BODY?
BRAIN 12 LIVER 24 KIDNEY 20 MUSCLE 23 INTESTINES 8 SKIN 6 HEART 5
CORONARY BLOOD FLOW IS ? CC/MIN TO HEART?
225-250
CPP=?
DP-LVEDP
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF VA ON CBF?
DIRECT VASODILATION, REDUCE MYOCARDIAL METABOLIC DEMANDS, REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE (PRELOAD AND AFTERLOAD),
NO EVIDENCE VA CAUSE CORONARY STEAL
ARE SARCOMERES INVOLVED IN BOTH SKELETAL AND MYOCARDIAL MUSCLE?
YES
WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL PROCESS FOR SARCOMERE INTERDIGITATION….THUS CONTRACTION?
CALCIUM IS RELEASED FROM SARCOPLASMIC RET. WHICH BINDS TO TROPONIN/TROPOMYOCIN, SITES ON MYOCIN HEADS ARE UNCOVERED AND ALLOWS ACTIN AND MYOCIN TO BIND. ATP IS NEEDED FOR THIS. TROPONIN C’S AFFINITY FOR CALCIUM DETERMINES FORCE OF CONTRACTION. AND CONSEQUENTLY CARDIAC OUTPUT.
WHAT IS OPTIMAL SARCOMERE LEGTH FOR GOOD CARDIAC OUTPUT?
2-2.4 UM.
ARE CARDIAC CELLS AEROBIC OR ANAROBIC?
AEROBIC. THEY DONT STORE OXYGEN.
