Q

What affects SV?

A

preload: stretch experienced by muscle tissue before contraction, “priming”

Q

sympathetic/adrenergic influence on the heart

A

control from medulla and T1-T4 to SA node, AV, conduction
increase HR/contractility –> increased oxygen demand
vasodilation of coronary aa.

Q

parasympathetic/cholinergic

innervation, effects on heart

A

control from medulla through vagus nerve and cardiac plexus
to the SA and AV nodes
slow HR and contractility –> decreased oxygen demand
vasoconstricts coronary aa.

Q

baroreceptor influence on heart

A

in wall of aortic arch and carotid sinus
respond to changes in BP
Drop in BP detected is corrected by SNS stim
Increase in BP detected is corrected by PNS stim

Q

chemoreceptor influence on heart

A

in carotid body
detect changes in O2, CO2, pH
increased CO2/decreased O2/pH increase HR/RR
increased O2 decreases HR

Q

hyperkalemia

A

increased potassium
decreased HR, contractility, arrhythmias, changed EKG

23
Q

hypokalemia

A

decreased potassium
EKG changes

24
Q

hypercalcemia

A

increased Ca
increased HR, contractility
kidneys are affected
can lead to confusion and coma

25
Q

hypocalcemia

A

decreased Ca
arrhythmia

26
Q

hypermagnesmia

A

increased mg
Ca blocker, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, hypotension, confusion, lethargy

27
Q

hypomagnesium

A

decreased Mg
ventricular arrhythmias, coronary aa vasospasm

28
Q

Phases of cardiac cycle

A

1: filling ventricles, AV valves open, semilunar valves closed; SA node depolarizes then AV shortly after and starts ventricular contraction
2. isovolumetric contraction, pressure increasing but not yet high enough to open semilunar valves, AV close
3. ejection, semilunar valves open, SV
4. isovolumetric ventricular relaxation: semilunar valves close, as ventricle relaxes valves are closed and blood flows into atria
