Q

Normal RAP/CO (Resting values)

A
RAP = 0mmHg
CO= 5 L/min
17

Max Values
A

RAP >= 4 mmHG

CO =25 L/min

18
Q

Normal RAP/CO (Max Values)

A

RAP >=4 mmHg

CO= 13 L/min

19
Q
Hypereffective heart (hypertrophy) 
Max values
A

RAP > = 4 mmHg

CO = 30-40 L/min

20
Q

What does muscle mass increase by in hypereffective heart (hypertrophy)

A

50 to 75 %

21
Q

What does CO increase by in hypereffective heart (hypertrophY)

A

60 to 100 %

22
Q

What do the max values represent?

A

Summation of nervous response and hypertrophy

23
Q

A 2 mmHg increase in intrapleural pressure means what?

A

It will take an additional 2 mmHg to fill the RA

Curve shifts to the right

24
Q

What factors alter external pressure?

A

Cyclic changes in respiration
Breathing against negative pressure (shifts left)
Postiive pressure breathing (shifts right)
Opening thoracic cage (intrapleural pressure = 0mmHg) shifts curve to right 4 mmHG
Cardiac tamponade

25
How many mls will fill systemic vascular system without stretching vessels giving overall pressure of 0?
3560 mls
26
What is the normal systemic volume?
4500 mls
27
Adding 1000 mls to the 3500 mls will produce what change in pressure?
7 mmHg (1000 mls / 140 mls/mmHg)
28
What's another name for mean systemic filling pressure?
Mean circulatory filling pressure
29
What is the resistance created by veins?
2/3
30
What is the resistance created by arterioles/small arteries?
1/3
31
What is the venous return equation
VR = Psf - RA/ Ven Resistance
32
What is the normal pressure in the central venous compartment?
0 mmHg
33
What causes a shift in cardiac function curve?
Change in cardiac effectiveness | Change in external pressure
34
What causes a shift in venous function curve?
Change in mean systemic filling pressure | change in venous resistance
35
What is the C for arteries?
2 ml/ mmHg
36
What is the C for veins?
110 ml/mmHg
