Cardio - FA Anat/Phys 281- 289 Flashcards
Enlargement of what part of the heart causes dysphagia or hoarseness - why?
LA - dysphagia (due to compression of the esophagus) or hoarseness (due to compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve).
Part of heart most commonly injured in trauma
RV
3 layers of pericardium
Fibrous pericardium Parietal layer of serous pericardium Visceral layer of serous pericardium
Pericardium innervated by?
phrenic n
Pericardititis causes referred pain to?
to the neck, arms, or one or both shoulders (often left).
Occlusion of which artery with lead to nodal dysfunction? Symptoms?
RCA - brady, heart block
Most common location of coronary a occlusion?
LAD
LAD supplies?
anterior of interventricular septum, anterolateral papillary muscle, and anterior surface of LV
PDA supplies?
AV node (dependent on dominance), posterior 1/3 of interventricular septum, posterior 2/3 walls of ventricles, and posteromedial papillary muscle
RCA supplies? Infarct may cause what sx?
SA node;
bradycardia, heart block
Peak flow in coronaries at what part of cardiac cycle?
early diastole
Stroke volume is affected by what 3 things?
1- afterload
2- preload
3- contractility
SV is inc by which parameters?
- inc Contractility
- dec Afterload
- inc Preload
What increases contractility?
- catecholamines ( stimulation via B1 receptor)
- Ca2+ channels phosphorylated—> Increasing Ca2+ entry—>leading to Increase Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release and increase Calcium storage in SR
- Phospholamban phosphorylation—>active Ca2+ ATPase—> Ca2+ storage in SRincrease intracellular Ca2++
- Inc IC Ca2+
- decrease EC Na+ ( via decrease Na/Ca2+ exchanger)
- digitalis ( blocks Na+/K+ pump)—> increaseing intracellular Na+—>decreasing Na+/Ca++ exchanger activity—> increase intracellular Ca++
What dec contractility and SV?
- Beta 1 blockade (decrease cAMP)
- HF w/ systolic dysfunction
- Acidosis
- hypoxia, hypercapnia, ( decrease Partial pressure of oxygen/increase partial pressure of CO2)
- non-dihydropyridine CCB
What parameter estimates preload?
ventricular EDV
( disclaimer ***depends on venous tone and circulating blood volume)
What drug decrease preload?
What drug decrease afterload?
What drugs decreases both?
- Preload - venous vasodilators/ venodilators (Nitroglycerin)
- Afterload - arterial vasodilators (Hydralazine)
- ACE, ARBS
How does LV compensate for inc afterload?
by thickening (hypertrophy) in order to dec wall tension.
What parameters will inc myocardial O2 demand?
- Inc contractility
- afterload,
- Heart Rate
- diameter of ventricle
Laplace’s law for wall tension
Wall tension = pressure x radius
wall stress = ?
wall stress = pressure x radius/2 x wall thickness
what are the 2 equations for stroke volume?
SV = CO/HR
SV = EDV - ESV
what is ejection fraction?
EF = SV/ EDV = EDV-ESV/EDV
Ejection Fraction is normal in diastolic or systolic Heart failure?
Ejection fraction is a measure/index of what?
EF is an index of ventricular contractility
EF decreased in systolic HF
EF is normal in diastolic HF
what is the Fick principle for Cardiac output?
CO = rate of O2 consumption/(arterial O2 content – venous O2 content)
How is CO maintained in early and late stages of exercise?
Early - inc HR, SV
Late - only inc HR (SV plateaus)
Diastole is shortened with a change in what cardiac parameter ? This leads to what?
Diastole is shorted with increased HR (ex/ VTACH)—> decreased diastolic filling time—> decreased SV—> decreased CO
Pulse pressure is directly proportional to __and inversely proportional to __.
SV
arterial compliance
What leads to inc pulse pressure?
Hyperthyroidism
Aortic Regurgitation
Aortic stiffening (isolate systolic HTN in elderly)
Obstructive sleep apnea (Inc SANS tone)
Anemia
Exercise (transcient)
Decreased pulse pressure is seen in?
aortic stenosis
cardiogenic shock
cardiac tamponade
advanced HF
Which conditions lead to dec pulse pressure?
Aortic stenosis Cardiogenic shock cardiac tamponade advanced CHF
what are the 2 equations for MAP?
- MAP = CO x TPR
- MAP( at resting HR) = 2/3 DBP + 1/3 SBP = DBP + 1/3 PP
Inc contractility is seen with ?`
catecholamines, positive inotropes (eg, digoxin)
exercise
dec contractility is seen with ?
loss of myocardium (eg, MI), β-blockers (acutely), non-dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blockers, dilated cardiomyopathy.
