Q

Review of cardiac actionable potential

A

Phase 4= -90 mv closed sodium channels, NAK pump working 3-2

Phase 0- Depolarization fast sodium channels +20ish

Phase 1 Fast NA close, K Efflux opens

Phase 2 Clacium influx occurs causing plateau phase

Phase 3 Calcium influx stops and K efflux continues (depolarization)

Phase 4 K efflux happens and NAK pump continues ( sodium calcium exchanger

Q

Mechanism of Ashton of antyarrythmics

A

Lidocaine - decrease conduction velocity, decrease refractory period, decrease automaticity

Beta blocker
- decrease conduction velocity, no change to refractory period, decrease automaticity

Class 3 ( Pottassium blocke)- increases refractor period

Class 4- decrease velocity, increased refractory period. Decrease automaticity

Digoxin, CCB, BB, Adensoine all work on the AV node which decreases automaticity Also

Lidocaine works on conduction pathway in the LBB RBB and my coyotes

Amiodarone works on both

Q

What is the solubility coefficient of 02

24
Q

What are the major determinants of myocardial oxygen demand uptake

A

1) HR
2) Wall Stress
3) Contractility

25
What will high wall tenson result in for metabolic demand
Increase metabolic demand and increase oxygen consumption of the heart
26
What will decrease myocardial oxygen supply
1) decrease coronary blood flow 2) increased HR ( less diastolic filling time) 3) increased diastolic volume 4) deceased 02 content Decrease hematocrit Decreased 02 saturation
27
At rest does the heart already have maximal 02 extraction How do you increase 02 extraction
At rest the heart already has maximal 02 extraction so the only way to increase it is to increase deliver and increase coronary flow. Exercise will increase coronary blood flow by 4-5 x
28
What are the main 4 Coronary arteries
Left main Right LAD Circumflex
29
Explain the left and right dominance for blood supply
The posterior descending artery feads the AV node In 2/3 of population the PDA comes offf the RCA 1/3 of people it comes off the Left Circumflex artery Co dominant it comes of RCA and LCx
30
What arteries come of RCA
RCA Nodal Branch Acute marginal Posterior descending 2/3 of people
31
What branches of LAD
S1 S2 septal branches towards middle or septum D1 D2 D3 diagonal arteries towards left There is also the S1S2 which branches off posterior descending arteries
32
Coronary Perfusion Territories
RCA- inferior segments, posterior 1/3 IVS+ as node and AV node LCx All lateral segments and occasionally SA and AV node LAD all anterior segments and 2/3 IVS + septum
33
WHen does the Coronaries receive blood
LV 85 percent during diastole 1 percent systole RV both systole and diastole Blood flow is drained by Coronary sinus and empties into RA 85 percent and 15 percent into thesbian veins ( Empty into Left side heart) along with bronchial veins and pulmonary veins (causing a physiological shunt)
34
In order what the the CVP wave forms and what do they represent
A, C, X, V, Y A= Right atrial contract at end of Diastole - you will lose a wave in A-FIB - A wave will increase in Tricuspid and pulmonic stenosis - Cannon A waves are in heart blocks, V TAC secondary to contraction agains a close tricupsid Valve C= Early systole - Tricuspid valve bulging into RA from RV congtraction - Tricuspid regurgitation causes fusion of C and V waves with x descending blunted X- (mid systole) which is the RA relaxation - Incresed x descent in constrictive pericarditis - Decreased ascent with Tricuspid Regurg as increased RA pressures suggest RV dysfunction V= (late Systole) Rapid Filling of RA - increaed V wave in Tricuspid recurg from increased RA pressure Y=
35
Systole steps
1) Isovolumetric contraction is when MV closes and AV is still closed as ventricule builds up pressure 2) Rapid Ejection 2/3 volume ejected 3) Slower Ejection: 1/3 volume Ejected
36
Diastole Phases (4)
1) Isovolumetiric relaxation: AV closed and MV still closed as LA builds up pressure 2) Early ventricular filling: MV opens, passive LV fills LAP> LVP (70-80 final stroke volume) 3) Late Diastolic filling/diastasis: LVP approaches LAP, dependent on chamber compliance 4) Atrial systole/kick contracts 15-20 percent
37
Pressure Volume Loop starting from bottom left corner
A= End systolic Volume B= Early Ventricular Filling/Late Ventricular Filling C= Mitral Valve closes Isovolumetric Contraction D= Aortic Valve Closes E= stroke volume/ejection F= Aortic Valve Closes Isovolumetric Relaxation A
38
What is a normal Cardiac Output
4.o-8.0 l/min
39
Pacemaker Action Potential
Phase 4= sodium leaks into cell - 60mv Phase 0 depolarization occurs with Ca channels opening Phase 3- depolarizations with potassium out.
40
Normal axis
30 to -90 degrees Positive I. Positive AVF
41
Left Axis Deviation
Positive lead I Negative AVF 0 to -90
42
RAD
Negative Lead I Positive AVF + 90 to +180
43
Extreme axis deviation
Negative Lead 1 Negative AVF -90 to -180
44
Either a hypertrophy axis shifts towards or a damaged part of the heart axis moves away.
What causes axis deviation
45
What is atherosclerosis and its patho genesis
Is a type of arteriosclerosis (thickening and hardening of artery walls) affects primarily medium and large size muscular arteries affecting the intima This is caused by a chronic inflammatory response in the walls of the arteries which is a slow progression of fat(cholesterol) build up within the artery causing intimacy lesions called Atheromas, atheromatous or fibrofatty plaques.
46
Angina Pectoris Definition
Imbalance of myocardial oxygen supplyly and demand Stable, predictable with increased activity and resolves with rest or NTG Typically requires >70 percent occlusion
47
What are our Hemodynamic goals with CAD
1) Small chamber size + low LVEDP 2) SLow HR, Increased diastolic filling time 3) reduced contractility 4) Adequate perfusion pressure LV only gets perfusion during diastole where as RV gets perfusion from systole and diastole 1) Decrease preload 2) maintain afterload (hypertension is better than hypotension 3) Decrease contractility 4) Decrease Rate and keep in SINUS Rhtym
48
Therapy to treat Coronary ischemia
NTG 0.5-3mcg/kg/min Nitride 0.5-3 mcg/kg/min Phenylephrine/norepinephrine/ vasopressin for hypoperfusion BB, CCB do decrease HR, improve diastolic filling time MgS04 for hypomagneisa which has coronary vasodilation properties which decreases size of infarct in acute ischemia and reduces mortality during infarction
49
How do Nitrates Work
Nitrates increase 02 supply by dilation of large epicardial coronary arteries Low doses decrease preload which decreases wall stress and decreases to cardiac 02 demand Higher doeses decreases afterload and decreases myocardial 02 demand.
50
What can exacerbate myocardial ischemia
HTN, Fever, Tachycardia, anemia, hypoxemia, valvular disease Standard of Care BB,CCB, Nitrates, Statin, antiplatelet, ACEi, ARBS
51
Type 1 Vs Type 2 MI
Type 1 mi is causes by a sympathetic hyperactivity from catecholamines causing a plague rupture or erosion causing increased Coagulability and decreaed fibrinolysis which causes a Acute Coronary Thrombosis Type 2 is from sever Stable CAD whic an increased myocardial 02 demand causing increase HR increased sympathetic hyperactivity, increased BP, increaed LVEDP, causing a supply and demand issue Usually prolonged ST depression
52
Type 1) Occlusive MI Type 2) Infarction secondary to supply and demand Type 3) Sudden cardiac death Type 4) PCI causing infarction Type 5) CABG causing infarction
Types of MIs
53
Difference between a OMI and. NOMI
OMI is a complete vessel occlusion NOMI is a narrowed vessel no totally occluded.
54
Non MI Troponin elevation cause
Sepsis, CHF, Renal Failure, Stroke
55
What happens to ST segments during NSTEMI AND STEMI AND WHY
During NSTEMI subendocardial cells are more susceptible to ischemia. - Pottaium leak arrives from ischemic tissue causing a partial depolarization towards the electrode which causes the baseline to shift upward. This looks like ST depression During Stemi - potassium leak happens prior to electric stimulation and produces a force away from the electrode cause it an upward shift of baseline Looking like ST elevation Q waves - necrotic muscles does not generate electrical forces
