25
Dromotropic effects
Positive dromotropic effect - increases AP conduction, SNS Negative dromotropic effect - decreases AP conduction, PNS
26
P-wave
atrial depolarization, speed of propagation throughout the atria
27
PR-segment
movement of the AP through the AV node
28
QRS-complex
ventricular depolarization
29
Q-wave
left side of the septum depolarizes before the right, resulting in small downward deflection
30
R-wave
depolarization spread from endo to epicardium, large muscle mass involved, large amplitude
31
S-wave
last part of ventricle depolarization is near the atrium, gives brief negative deflection
32
Bundle-branch block
widening of QRS
33
ST-segment
interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization
34
T-wave
ventricular repolarization
35
Interval between P-waves
'sinus rhythm', HR, tachycardia, bradycardia
36
Lead I, II, aVf, III, aVr, aVL
0, +60, +90, +120, -150, -30
37
Right and left axis deviations
Right - MEA moves right, clockwise, pulmonary HTN Left - MEA moves left, counterclockwise, systemic HTN
38
Normal MEA
between +100 and -30
39
First degree heart block
P-waves are all followed by QRS, but PR-interval is increased
40
Second degree heart block
PR interval lengthened so much that not every P-wave is followed by QRS
41
Third degree heart block
P-wave and QRS depolarize independently with ventricle depol driven by latent pacemaker
42
Atrial flutter
P waves are too fast, driven by atrial pacemaker, but QRS is normal
43
Atrial fibrillation
atria are not driven by SA node, but instead by local currents, result in uncoordinated atrial firing and no P waves are detected
44
Ventricular tachycardia/flutter
ventricular rate is greater than atrial rate, due to ectopic pacemaker
45
Ventricular fibrillation
electrical activity is completely uncoordinated, lethal condition that must be corrected within minutes
46
Spontaneous AP in ventricular cells
abnormal QRS complex
47
ST segment depression/elevation
MI occurred recently
48
S4
Atrial gallop usually due to ventricular hypertrophy, occurs in late diastole, never normal to hear
49
S3
Ventricular gallop heard during ventricular filling, common in children and young adults, due to supple ventricle, but sign of dilated cardiomyopathy in an adult
50
Compliance
volume changes with pressure
51
SV
CO = SV x HR
52
Normal EF
\>55%
53
Increasing Preload of the heart?
increases EDV, SV, CO no affect on aortic pressure
54
Heart Failure
decreased CO triggers increased BV, PL, EDV, SV and CO, but this is only a short term compensatory mechanism, decreases starling curve/inotropy
55
Law of LaPlace
wall stress (sigma) = [P x r]/2h Pressure, chamber radius, wall thickness
56
Increasing Afterload of the heart?
force that heart has to overcome to force blood into the aorta, afterload is wall stress, very close to aortic pressure increases aortic pressure that ventricle must contract against to open valve, and valve closes at higher pressure, ESV Decreasing fiber shortening velocity, SV, CO
57
Aortic stenosis
left ventricular emptying is impaired because of narrowing of the aortic valve, flow through aortic valve generates additional sounds between S1 and S2
58
Increasing Inotropy of the heart?
Shifts ESPVR curve to the left and increases line slope, increases velocity of shortening, decreases ESV, increasing SV and CO
59
Blood flow (Q) =
Q = V x a = P/R
60
Poiseulle's equation
Q = [P(Pi)r^4]/8Ln(viscosity)
61
Changes to viscosity
1. life at high altitudes, increased viscosity 2. polycythemia vera, increased viscosity 3. severe dehydration, increased viscosity 4. sickle-cell anemia, increased viscosity
62
Parallel arrangement has the highest resistance
FALSE - LOWEST
63
Normal MAP
95mmHg
64
TPR =
[MAP-CVP]/CO
65
Normal TPR
15-18mmHg/l/min or 15-18 HRUs or Wood units
66
PP
Pulse pressure = SBP - DBP
67
MAP =
DBP + [PP/3]
68
Septic shock is associated with?
Large drop in TPR, only form of shock that is associated with decrease, rather than increased TPR
69
Factors that affect Poiseuille's law
1. turbulent flow 2. viscosity of blood changes with velocity 3. compliance of blood vessels
70
Reynold's Number
Nr = vdp/n velocity, diameter, density, viscosity Nr\>2000 = turbulent flow
71
Korotkoff sounds
partial occlusion of brachial artery with pressure cuff that reflects blood spurting at high velocity through the constriction
72
compliance =
[^V] / [^P]
73
capacitance vessels
thin walled vessels with minimal resistance to stretching by filling pressures
74
Hydrostatic pressure
pushing fluid out
75
Osmotic pressure
sucking fluid in
76
Starling's Law of the Capillary
Q = k[(Pc+[Pi]i)-(Pi+[Pi]c)] Q = k [force in - force out] k is dependent on type of capillary, increasing with leakiness
77
Hydrostatic v Osmotic pressure for: renal system, pulmonary circulation, CHF, Nutritional Edema
Renal system - H \> O, fluid moves out of cap, urine Pulmonary circulation - H \< O, fluid moves into cap, dry alveoli CHF - H \> O, fluid moves out of cap, edema Nutritional Edema - H \> O, fluid moves out of cap, because lower osmotic pressure because no albumin, ascites
78
Local control
independent of CNS, metabolic waste build-up (adenosine, lactate, CO2, H+, K+) and myogenic (autoregulation) to keep blood flow consistent
79
Central control
CNS makes final decision, humoral mechanisms (ANP, AngII, Epi, NO, ET-1) or neural mechanisms (targeted to certain organs)
