Q

What happens to our pleural pressure as we inspire or breathe in?

A

Intrapleural pressure decreases (more negative) and helps pulls more air in to the lungs. (20:30)

Q

What does a drop in pleural pressure do to the filling of the heart?

A

If there is a more negative intrapleural pressure, the negative pressure will help draw blood from the peripheral veins in to the thorax increasing filling in the right side of the heart. (21:00)

Q

What does an increase in thoracic pressure do to the cardiac output curve ?

A

Shift the cardiac output curve to the right, indicating it is more difficult to fill the heart back up with blood. To overcome the increase thoracic pressure, the pressure in the venous system will need to be increased in order get blood back into the chest.

Q

If we have a normal venous return curve and RAP of 5 mmHg. What happens to CO?

A

The increase right atrial pressure is a result of the heart not pumping effectively. Blood accumulates in the right atrium, increasing right atrial pressure which makes venous return more difficult which will decrease cardiac output.

A

increase
(57:00)

31
Q

  1. Beriberi
  2. AV Shunts
  3. Hyperthyroidism
  4. Anemia

A

36 ATPs

(58:00)

35

  1. Removal of both arms and legs
  2. Hypothyroidism

(80:55)

40
Q

If there is an increase in preload what happens to EDV?
SV?
ESV?

A

Increase EDV.
Increase SV.
ESV will remain constant.

41
Q

If there is an decrease in preload what happens to EDV?
SV?
ESV?

A

Decrease EDV.
Decrease SV.
ESV will remain constant.

42
Q

If there is an increase in afterload at a constant preload what happens to SV?
ESV?

A

Due to the increase afterload, the heart will have to pump longer and harder to generate enough pressure to open the aortic valve this will cause a shorter period time for ejection, decreasing SV.

Less blood ejected means an increase in ESV.

43
Q

What are two reasons why SV will be decreased in a heart with an increased afterload?

A
  1. ↑afterload causes ↑ contractility causes shorter ejection time thus ↓SV.
  2. ↑ aortic pressure causes AV to shut faster thus decreasing SV.

(86:00)

44
Q

If there is a decrease in afterload at a constant preload what happens to SV?
ESV?

A

The decrease afterload will open the aortic valve sooner and more time will be spent on ejection, increasing SV.

Increase ejection time, means decrease ESV

(87:00)

45
Q

If there is an increase in contractility at a constant preload what happens to SV?
ESV?

A

Increase in contractility will increase SV and decrease ESV.

46
Q

If there is a decrease in contractility at a constant preload what happens to SV?
ESV?

A

Decrease in contractility will decrease SV and increase ESV.

(89:00)

47
Q

What happens to the left ventricular volume of blood during phase 2 of the cardiac cycle with mitral valve regurgitation?

A

Blood in the left ventricle will move into the left atria when ventricular pressure is higher than atrial pressure.

48
Q

What happens to left ventricular volume of blood during phase 3 of the cardiac cycle with mitral valve regurgitation?

A

The majority of blood will be ejected through the aorta, but there will also be some blood that will go into the left atria. (91:00)

49
Q

What happens to left ventricular volume of blood during phase 4 of the cardiac cycle with mitral valve regurgitation?

A

During the initial part of phase 4, blood in the left ventricle leaks into the left atria because ventricular pressure > atrial pressure.

50
Q

During what phases will their be backwards movement of blood in mitral valve regurgitation?

A

Phases 2, Phase 3, and early part of phase 4. Blood in the left ventricles will move back to the left atria.

(93:00)

51
Q

How does the body compensate for mitral valve regurgitation?

A

Blood volume expansion (increase CVP)

(94:00)

52
Q

Mitral valve stenosis will be similar to which of the following?

A. Reduced Preload
B. Reduced Afterload
C. Increased Preload
D. Increased Afterload

A

A. Reduced Preload

53
Q

What happens to SV and EDV in mitral stenosis?

A

Decrease in SV due to a decrease in EDV.

There is poor filling d/t a high resistance mitral valve

54
Q

How does the body compensate for mitral valve stenosis?

A

Increase PSF (increase CVP)

55
Q

What happens to blood in the aorta during phase 4 of the cardiac cycle with aortic valve regurgitation?

A

Blood leaks from the aorta to the left ventricle during the later part of phase 4 due to the pressure difference between the aorta and left ventricle. (98:30)

56
Q

What happens to blood in the aorta during phase 1 of the cardiac cycle with aortic valve regurgitation?

A

Aortic pressure will be greater than ventricular pressure in phase 1 resulting to an increase in volume in the left ventricle.

57
Q

How does the body compensate for aortic valve regurgitation?

A

Fill the heart up with more blood, increase CVP

58
Q

Why does an aortic valve stenosis result in a high afterload?

A

Blood is pumping through an aortic valve with a higher than normal resistance will result in a higher afterload. (101:00)

59
Q

What happens to the left intraventricular pressure of the heart if there is aortic valve stenosis?

What happens to the aortic pressure if there is aortic valve stenosis?

A

The left intraventricular pressure of the stenotic heart will be higher than normal.

The aortic pressure of the stenotic heart will be lower than normal.

(102:00)

60
Q

What happens to pulse pressure in someone with aortic valve stenosis?

A

Pulse Pressure decreases due to increased resistance.

(↓PP from ↑afterload)

61
Q

How does the body compensate for aortic valve stenosis?

A
  1. The body will increase filling pressure (increase CVP)
  2. Increase HR d/t decrease SV over time.

(104:00)

62
Q

Which of the following will most likely cause an elevated heart rate?

A. Aortic Regurgitation
B. Mitral Regurgitation
C. Aortic Stenosis
D. Mitral Stenosis

A

C. Aortic Stenosis

63
Q

If there is depressed contractility in someone with heart failure, what treatment will be given to increase SV and cardiac output?

A

Treat depressed contractility with an afterload reducer.

(106:00)

64
Q

How many breathes do we take in a minute?

A

10-12 breaths/min

(108:34)

65
Q

What happens to CVP during inspiration.

A

During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and expands thoracic cavity decreasing intra-thoracic pressure, decreasing CVP, increasing venous return and cardiac output. (109:00)

66
Q

How does the pulmonary arterial pressure drop during inspiration?

A

The lungs and blood vessels are very compliant. As the intra-thoracic pressure becomes more negative during inspiration the lungs and blood vessels are “pulled out” (dilated?) making the interior pressure of the blood vessels drop (↓ PAP).

(111:00)

67
Q

How does a decreased PAP increase CO?

A

Reduction of PAP, reduces the afterload the right heart has to pump against. The combination of this with increase venous return from the more negative intra-thoracic pressure will increase cardiac output. (112:00)

68
Q

What vessel feeds into the left atria of the heart?

A

Pulmonary veins

69
Q

What happens to filling in the left side of the heart during early inspiration?

What will happen to MAP?

A

Early inspiration will reduce thoracic pressure to fill the lungs and right side of the heart with blood and not so much to the left heart.

MAP decreases due to blood pooling temporarily in the lungs and poor filling of the left heart. MAP normalizes after a couple of heartbeats.

(114:30)

70
Q

How does positive pressure ventilation initially affect cardiac output?

How does PPV affect CO over time?

A

The initial increase of intrathoracic pressure from PPV will push blood into the right and left side of the heart and increase CO.

Overtime, PPV will impair venous return.

(117:00)

71
Q

As cardiac output and cardiac index increases, oxygen consumption _____________.

A

Increases (proportional relationship)

72
Q

How will the slope of the VR Curve be affected by a decrease in SVR?

A

Decreasing the SVR will make the slope of the VR curve steeper, increasing CO.
