Q

How is Heart Rate determined?

A

HR is determined by pacemaker activity

  • Principle control of HR is by the ANS (extrinsic)

Q

How HR is increased?

A

Ne increases the slope of SA nodal pacemaker potentials to quicken the ‘pace’ resulting in a decreased interval between action potentials thus increasing HR

Q

How HR is decreased?

Q

β1 receptor signal transduction mechanism

A
  • NE stimulation of β1 receptor
  • Gs-coupled activating Adenylate cyclase creating cAMP and activating PKA

Leads to

  1. leads to greater Ca2+ influx
  2. greater CICR from the SR
  3. greater contraction
  4. PKa can phosphorylate Ryanodine receptors and can increase sensitivity to Ca2+ so leads to more CICR and therefore greater contraction

Q

During sympathetic stimulation, not only is contractility increased but cardiac myocytes are receiving action potentials more frequently, so how do cardiomyocytes quickly relax

A
  • PKA phosphorylates PL (Phospho Lambda), which regulates (inhibitory) SERCA pump Ca2+ pump and when phosphorylated by PKA, PL disinhibits SERCA.
  • so PKA inhibits PLs inhibition of SERCA
  • ACh would have the opposite effect

Q

Starling’s Law of the Heart description

A
30
Q

Starling’s Law of the Heart diagram

A
  • ventricular pressure is a function of ventricular end-diastolic volume
  • when the volume is really high starling’s law no longer applies and force of contraction is reduced
31
Q

Thick and thin filament overlap

A
32
Q

Starling’s Law of the Heart: Mechanism

A
33
Q

Longer fiber lengths ________ spacing between thick and thin filaments.

A

reduces

34
Q

Starlings law explanation

A

greater end diastolic volume stretching the heart = greater stroke volume

35
Q

Longer fiber lengths increase the affinity of?

A

Troponin C for Ca2+

36
Q

Starling Curves altered by stimuli

A
37
Q

Starling’s Law of the heart: Physiological significance

A
38
Q

Starling’s Law of the heart: Physiological significance diagram

A

sympathetic venous pressure get increased venous return get increased end-diastolic volume get an increased stroke volume

39
Q

What mechanisms lead to increased CO?

A
  • ↑ sympathetic activity to the heart increases HR and contractility
  • ↑ sympathetic to venous indirectly increase venous constriction and venous return increasing end-diastolic volume (α1 receptors) and thereby increasing cardiac output by starlings law
  • parasympathetic is the opposite effect on HR and contractility
40
Q

Myocardial response to afterload stress

A

like lifting a heavyweight, increased BP or afterload impairs myocardial performance contraction velocity and cardiac output

41
Q

What is afterload stress?

A

the load that cardiac muscle must overcome in order to shorten

42
Q

Afterload is?

A

Aortic pressure (MABP)

43
Q

Myocardial responses to afterload stress results in?

A

↑ Arterial pressure and decreased myocardial performance

44

A
45
Q

Effects of increasing HR on CO

A
46
Q

Decreased SV associated with high HR (tachycardia) can limit?

A

CO

47
Q

Decreased SV associated with high HR (tachycardia) can limit? Then what happens with exercise?

A

so the increased sympathetic tone and venous return helps to mitigate this
