Cardiology - cardiac cycle Flashcards
What are the 2 main phases?
Propotion of each heart beat?
And what happens in them?
diastole - 2/3 heart beat
and ventricular relaxation (ventricles fill with blood)
systole - 1/3 heartbeat
ventricle contract, generate pressure eject blood
What are 3 stages of systole?
isovolumeitrc contraction, rapid ejection , slow ejection
when does end diastolic volume occur?
And what is it?
isovoulemic contraction
max volume before contract
what is end-sysotic volume?
when occur?
the residual volume (left over)
end of slow ejection
What is stroke V?
end diastolic volume(max)
-
end systolic volume (lowest)
how do you calculate ejection fraction?
stroke volume divide end diastolic volume
Cycle of the cardiac phases?
Name all the valves
RHS - Deoxygenated
triscuspid valves then pulmonary valves
LHS - oxygn
bicuspid valve then aortic valve
What happens in atrial systole?
atria almost full from passive filling
atria also contract to top of volume in ventricle
What happens in isovolumetric contraction?
ventricular depolarisation
between AV valves close + open of semi-lunar valves
contract of ventricles but no change in volume
when pressure V higher than A, AV valves close
What is the P wave on ECG?
atrial systole
What causes rapid ejection?
when ventricular pressure > than pulmonary and aorta artery
What happens in rapid ejection?
ventricle contract and pressure exceed artery pressure
semi lunar valves open
blood pumped out of ventricle
What happens in reduced rejection?
reduced pressure gradient semi-lunar valves close
decreased blood flow and ventricular volume decreases less
blood flows back and semilunar valve close
What happens in isovolumetric relaxation?
Av remain closed until ventricular pressure drops below atrial
atrial pressure increase
aorta pressure increases
What is dichrotic notch?
Aorta increasing pressure in volumetric relaxation
due to rebound pressure
What happens in rapid passive feeling?
AV valves open and blood flow into ventricles
What is reduced passive filling?
diastasis
ventricle volume fills slowly but still able to fill a lot before contraction from atria
