Cardiology (2) Flashcards
Stroke Volume Definition
Volume of blood ejected from the heart in a cardiac cycle
Cardiac Output Definition
Equation
Amount of blood ejected from LV in a minute
CO = HR x SV
Cardiac reserve Equation
CO (max) - CO (rest)
Increased HR leads to what for Cardiac reserve
Decreased
Adrenaline works on what receptor
B1 receptor
If stretching occurs, what happens to myosin + actin filaments
More myosin can bind to actin = More contraction
Left shifts in frank starling caused by what (2)
Exercise + pharmalogical stimulation
left shifts in frank starling (afterload)
Decreased afterload + decreased ESV
Noradrenaline + adrenaline stimulates what
what does this then activate
cAMP
More Ca+ entering cell = more contraction
Ejection fraction equation
SV / EDV
What does morphine do in Heart Failure (2)
Relaxes Pulmonary vessels
Reduces preload + reducing strain on LV
Furosemide acts where
What does it lead to
Loop on henle
Reduces preload
Ductus arteriosus is normally closed due to (2)
High oxygen tension
Decreased circulating prostaglandins
Patent ductus arteriosus can be treated with
Prostaglandin inhibitors
Asymptomatic probe patent foramen ovale is caused by what
Pressure in LA greater than RA
Pressure on Septum Primum closes gap
What can cause pressure in RA to be greater than LA
pulmonary hypertension
