Equation for O2 consumption (VO2)
VO2 = COx(arterial O2 - venous O2)
Cardiac Output/Flow
CO = HRSV or change in P (MAP - CVP)/TPR or vA or (change in P * pi * r^4)/(8Lviscosity)
Normal range of CO
5-6L/min
25L/min with exercise
Sides that pump to systemic vs pulmonary
Left = systemic Right = pulmonary
Normal Blood Volume
5L
Which circulation system is in parallel vs series?
Systemic = parallel (except liver has both) Pulmonary = series
Liver blood sources
Hepatic artery & portal vein from GI system
MAP
about 95mmHg
mean arterial pressure = mean aortic pressure
MAP = DBP + PP/3
CVP
about 2mmHg
central venous pressure = vena cava pressure
Normal systemic BP & pulmonary BP
Systemic 130/80
Pulmonary 25/10
Mechanisms to help pressure drop
- Reduce outflow - increase resistance in organs that do no have high demand for nutrients
- Increase inflow (CO) - increase HR or contractility (SV)
- Increase Volume - short term, veins; long term, kidneys
How much blood does the venous system hold?
about 70%
P of right atrium
2mmHg
P of left atrium
8mmHg
P of right ventricle
25/5mmHg
P of left ventricle
130/10mmHg
P of pulmonary artery
25/10mmHg
Mean = 15mmHg
P of aorta
130/80mmHg
Mean = 95mmHg
P of pulmonary capillaries
8mmHg
P of systemic capillaries
25mmHg
Route of electrical impulse through heart
SA -> AM -> AV -> His/P -> VM
What has fast APs? slow APs?
Fast - His/P, AM, VM
Slow - SA, AV
Fast AP
Phase 0: rapid depolarization, inward Na current
Phase 1: repolarization from inactivation of Na channel, activation of outward K+
Phase 2: plateau - slowly activating inward Ca2+ currents
Phase 3: repolarization from inactivation of Ca2+ currents and activation of IKr & IKs (K channels)
Phase 4: resting potential from inward-rectifying K channels (IK1)
Slow AP
Phase 0: slow depolarization from slow activating Ca2+ channels (NOT NA)
Phase 3: repolarization from Ca2+ inactivation and activation of K channels
Phase 4: slow depolarization
effective refractory period
only single AP can be elicited, not propagated AP
IK,Ach or IGIRK
If
IK,Ach or IGIRK - outward current, hyperpolarizes cell/SA node - PNS
If - inward current, nonselective ion channel (HCN), depolarizes - SNS
Pace of SA node, AV node and His/Purkinje fibers
SA node - 100bpm
AV node - 40-60bpm
His/Purkinje - 30-40bpm
Dromotropic effects
Conduction velocity
Positive - increases (SNS)
Negative - decreases (PNS)
P-wave
atrial depolarization
PR segment
conduction through AV node
QRS complex
ventrical depolarization
Q wave often too small to detect
bundle branch block
QRS widens
ST segment
all ventricular tissue depolarized, plateau phase, beginning of repolarization
T wave
repolarization of ventricles
Lead I
Right arm to left arm
Lead II
right arm to left leg
Lead III
left arm to groin
AVL, AVF, AVR
A = abdomen L = left arm F = femoral artery R = right arm
shifts in MEA with hypertrophy
RVH - clockwise
LVH - counterclockwise
First degree, second degree, third degree AV block
First - PR interval increases
Second - P wave not always followed by QRS
Third - pacemaker is His/P
