Q

How does Exercise-induced Tachycardia prevent SV from falling?

A
  1. ⬆️Sympathetic –> ⬆️VR
  2. ⬆️ Contractility
  3. ⬆️ Conduction Velocity

Q

Why does CO fall with tachyarrythmias ?

A
  1. ⬆️HR –> ⬇️diastolic ventricular filling –> ⬇️CO.
  2. Sympathetic is unable to fully compensate.
  3. No muscle pump –> ⬇️ VR

Q

Why does TPR ⬇️ in exercise but MAP ⬆️ slightly?

A

Because MAP = CO x TPR and CO ⬆️⬆️ more than TPR ⬇️, thereby MAP is slightly elevated.

Q

What vascular changes does exercise induce?

A
  1. Local vasodilation in active muscle due to local chemical changes (NO, K+, H+, CO2, adenosine, etc).
  2. Vasoconstriction in GI and Renal system.
  3. ⬆️SBP and ↔️DBP = Slight increase in MAP.
17
Q

What Pressure difference is there between arteries and veins do to gravity?

A
  1. There’s no difference. Both increase by 80 mmHg
18
Q

Why when placing a central venous line does the patient have to be in Trendelenburg position?

A
  1. To prevent embolism.

Explanation: Trendelenburg position —->⬆️ Central Venous Pressure –> Prevents Air Embolus from forming

19
Q

What happens to the BP when you take it above the heart level?

A
  1. It’s lower than it should be
20
Q

What happens when you take BP lower than the heart level?

A
  1. BP is higher than normal .
21
Q

What happens to VR and CO when a person goes from supine to upright WITHOUT compensation?

A
  1. ⬇️ VR –> ⬇️CO

Explanation:

  1. ⬆️Volume and pressure in dependent veins (below heart)
  2. ⬇️VR
  3. ⬇️CO
22
Q

What happens in order to compensate for ⬇️CO when going from supine–> upright ?

A
  1. Activation of Baroreceptors—> ⬆️Sympathetic and ⬇️PNS –> ⬆️TPR ⬆️VR and ⬆️HR (SV and CO)
23
Q

What is the relationship between Pulse Pressure (PP) and SV and Arterial Compliance?

A

PP = directly proportional to SV

PP = inversely proportional to Arterial Compliance

PP = SV/AC

24
Q

Factors affecting Systolic Pressure ?

A
  1. STROKE VOLUME (main factor)
  2. Contractility
  3. Arterial Systemic Compliance (Aorta) –> arteriosclerosis
25
Q

Factors affecting Diastolic Pressure?

A
  1. Blood volume
  2. TPR
  3. HR
  4. SV
26
Q

Factors that increase PP?

A
  1. ⬆️ SV (⬆️⬆️SBP and ⬆️DBP)

2. ⬇️ Compliance (⬆️ SBP and ⬇️DBP)
