Cardiovascular Hemodynamics Flashcards
beta blocker: mechanism of action
Decreases stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and blood vessels
result of beta blocker
Decreased HR and SV
Vasodilation
calcium channel blocker: mechanism of action
Decreases intracellular calcium in the heart and blood vessels
result of calcium channel blocker
decreased HR and SV
Vasodilation
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor: mechanism of action
Decreases conversion of angiotensin I -> angiotensin II
result of Angiotension Coverting Enzyme inhibitor
Decreased production of aldosterone
Increased urinary excretion of sodium and water
Vasodilation
diuretic: mechanism of action
increases urine output
result of diuretic
Decreased cardiac output
Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB): mechanism of action
Decreases receptor binding of angiotensin II
result of angiotension II receptor blocker
Decreased stimulation of aldosterone secretion
Increased urinary excretion of sodium and water
Vasodilation
renin inhibitor: mechanism of action
Inhibits the binding of renin to angiotensinogen
results of renin inhibitor
Decreased production of angiotensin II and stimulation of aldosterone secretion.
Increased urinary excretion of sodium and water
Vasodilation
Baroreceptor Reflexes alter BP
- carotid sinus reflex
- aortic reflex
carotid sinus reflex
- Baroreceptors in walls of carotid sinuses
- Helps regulate BP in brain
- Signals sent via cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngial nerve) to the CV center in medulla oblongata
aortic reflex
- Baroreceptors in walls of ascending aorta and aortic arch
- Helps regulate systemic BP
- Signals sent via cranial nerve X (vagus nerve) to the CV center in medulla oblongata
carotid sinus reflex regulates
BP in brain
carotid sinus reflex signal sent via
cranial nerve IX to the CV center in medulla oblongata
aortic reflex helps regulate
systemic BP
aortic reflex signals sent via
cranial nerve X to the CV center in medulla oblongata
sense degree of stretch in vessels
baroreceptors
decreased stretch
decreased BP
increased stretch
increased BP
affects rate that nerve impulses are sent to the CV center in medulla oblongata
degree of stretch
results in a slower conduction of nerve impulses to the CV center
decreased stretch
results in a faster conduction of nerve impulses to the CV center
increased stretch
responds by changing the balance between PNS and SNS stimulation of effector organs
CV center
elicits efferent output that decreases PNS tone and increases SNS tone
Slower conduction of nerve impulses to the CV center
result of slower conduction of nerve impulses to the CV center elicits efferent output that decreases PNS tone and increases SNS tone
blood pressure increases
elicits efferent output that increases PNS tone and decreases SNS tone
faster conduction of nerve impulses to the CV center
result of faster conduction of nerve impulses to CV center elicits efferent output that increases PNS tone and decreases SNS tone
blood pressure decreases
blood volume in supine
blood volume distributed throughout the body
blood when going from supine to standing
shift from greater than 500 mL of blood to the lower body
autonomic nervous system response when going from supine to standing
baroreceptor reflex activation of the SNS
healthy subject: supine to standing
- normal compensatory response
- NE release signals for BP and HR increases
- cerebral perfusion is maintained
patient with nOH: supine to standing
- insufficient NE response due to autonomic dysfunction
- inadequate BP increases and minimal HR changes
- reduced cerebral perfusion causes symptoms (dizziness)
filtration
movement of fluid from tissue capillaries to tissue interstitial space
reabsorption
movement of fluid from tissue interstitial space to tissue capillaries
pressure driving filtration
promoted by blood hydrostatic pressure (BHP) and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure (IFOP)
primary filtration pressure
blood hydrostatic pressure
primary reabsorption pressure
blood colloid osmotic pressure
pressure driving reabsorption
promoted by blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) and interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (IFHP)
net filtration pressure (NFP)
difference between filtration and reabsorption pressures
NFP indicates
direction of fluid movement, determining whether fluid enters or leaves capillaries
NFP=
filtration - reabsorption
