Cardio 3 Flashcards
what two mechanisms do organs have for controlling their own blood supply?
1) myogenic mechanism (walls of vessels are stretched, and put out sm mm dilators to increase flow and reduce press)
2) metabolic mech
(match supply w/ demand; dials up blood flow when metabolic waste products dilate nearby vessels to allow more flow)
what hormone causes coronary auto regulatory vasodilation?
adenosine
Coronary blood flow formula?
CBF = (art DP - LVEDP)/ coronary resist
which part of the heart muscle is MOST vulnerable to ischemia?
ENDOCARDIUM
what is NORMAL Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF)?
50mL/100g/min
what’s Cerebral Perfusion Pressure, and how does it relate to CBF?
CPP = MAP - CVP
(as long as CVP>ICP)
CBF=CPP/CVR
Cushing reflex?
maintain MAP in face of high ICP…still push blood in despite high ICP…..bradycardia follows….HERNIATE NEXT!!!
(DON’T WANT TO SEE THIS….CATASTROPHE)
PaO2
….augment CBF
PaCO2 on same graph
STRAIGHT LINE
renal blood flow regulated by what two mechs?
1) myogenic
2) tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF)
what is TGF?
autoreg function mediated by macula densa; sense higher NaCl, promote constriction of afferent arteriole to decrease Blood flow
post-prandial hyperemia?
- augmented blood flow to splanchnic circulation
- mucosal metal
- vasoactive GI hormones
splanchnic circulation contains how much of Blood vol?
15%
–source of systemic volume in times of need
uterine vascular autoregulation
NOT THERE. vessels are maximally dilated; perfusion is PRESSURE dependent
DIGOXIN mechanism?
- blocks Na/K pump
- INCREASE intracell Na
- Na/Ca exchanger that drives Ca outside (bc decreased Na gradient to come back in) decr
- More Ca intracell
- INCREASED contractility
what does digoxin do at AV node?
decreases conduction
K decreases
digoxin toxicity
-tachydysrhyth
-bradycardia
-potentiated by hypo/hyperkalemia
DIURETICS - WATCH!!
MC EKG finding of digoxin?
PVC
what other finding on EKG that’s typical of digoxin?
- “hockey stick”
- scooped out QT
treatment of Ventricular arrhythmias with Dig?
- lidocaine
- amiodarone
- Potassium (upper normal)
- LOW ENERGY only if cardiovert
- can give Ab
Adenosine to treat what?
- WPW
- SVT (narrow)
How adenosine work?
- coronary vasodilation
- AV NODAL SUPPRESSION
antagonism of adenosine?
METHYLXANTHINES
- caffeine
- theophylline
- amrinone
SE to adenosine?
bronchospasm!!
amiodarone chemically similar to what endogenous hormone?
thyroxine
Amiodarone does WHAT to nodes?
depresses both SA and AV
heart toxicities of Amio?
- hypoTN
- Sinus Brady
- heart block
- QRS/QT prolongation
- depress contractility
other SE of amio?
- hypoTHYroid
- thyrotoxicosis
- pulm fibrosis
- CNS (periph neuron)
- LFT incr
- BLUE SKIN
QT prolong drugs!
- zofran
- haldol
- antiarrhythmics (sotalol, amio, procainamide)
- antifungals
- ABX: TMPSMX, erythro, pentamidine
- ANTI-depress: amitrip, doxepin
alpha 1 receptors located where in relation to synapse?
-POSTsynaptic
