Q

What is positive staircase effect

A

Bowditch staircase. When HR doubles for example, the tension developed on each beat increases in a stepwise fashion to a maximal value

  • increase happens because there is more AP per unit time bc more Ca2+ entering the cell during plateau phases and more Ca2+ gets into the SR

23
Q

Since tension is directly proportional to the intracellular concentration, cardiac glycolysis produce an increase in tension by increasing intracellular Ca2+ conentration - is this a + or - inotropic effect

A

+

24
Q

The major theraputic use of cardiac glycolysis is in the treatment of congestive heart failure a condition characterized by decreased contractality of ventricular muscle - is this a + or - inotropic effect

A

-

25
Q

Just as skeletal muscle, the maximal tension that can be developed by a myocardial cell depends on what?

A

resting length

26
Q

What is length-tension relationship

A

degree of overlap of thick and thin filaments and the number of possible sites for actin-myosin interaction and cross-bridge formation

27
Q

In myocardial cells, maxinal tension development occurs at cell length of?

A

2.2 um

28
Q

In addition to the degree of overlap of thick and thin filaments what are the two mechanisms in cardiac muscle that alter the tension developed

A
  1. Increasing muscle length increases the Ca2+ sensitivity of troponin C
  2. Increasing muscle length increases Ca2+ release from the SR
29
Q

What coresponds to the to left ventricular end-diastolic volume - length of (single or multiple) left ventricular muscle fibers just prior to contraction

A

Single LV muscle fiber

30
Q

What coresponds to the to tension or pressure developed by the entire Left ventricle - (single or multiple) Left ventricular muscle fibers

A

Single LV muscle fiber

31
Q

On the ascending limb of the graph pressure increases steeply as fiber length increases, which reflects what mechanism to cause greater tension

figure 4.21

A

greater degree of overlap for thick and thin filaments

32
Q

On the descending limb of the graph if end-diatolic volume were to increase further and the fibers were stretched to even longer lengths what would happen to overlap and tension

figure 4.21

A

overlap would decrease and the pressure would decrease

33
Q

Does cardiac muscle have low or high resting tension

A

high

34
Q

Is cardiac muscle held on the ascending or descening limb of the graph

figure 4.21

A

ascending limb

35
Q

What is the name that describes the systolic pressure-volume (length-tension) relationship for the ventricle

A

Frank-starling relationship

36
Q

What does the lower cureve represent when the heart is not contraction

figure 4.21

A

ventricular pressure and ventricular volume during diastole

37
Q

Does pre-load or after-laod describe left ventricular end-diastolic volume or end-diastolic fiber length

A

Pre-load

38
Q

Does pre-load or after-load describe aortic pressure for the LV

A

after-load

39
Q

What is defined as the resting length from which the muscle contracts

A

40
Q

When is the velocity of shortening the cardiac muscle maximal

A

41
Q

What is described as the volume of blood ejected by the ventricles on each beat

A

stroke volume

42
Q

What is described as the fraction of the end-diastolic volume ejected in each stroke volume, which is a measure of ventricular efficiency

A

Ejection fraction

43
Q

What is described as the total volume ejected by the ventricle pre unit time

A

Cardiac output

44
Q

What can be described as the difference between the volume of blood in the ventricle before ejection and the volume remaining in the ventricle after ejection

A

stroke volume

45
Q

define end-diastolic volume

A

46
Q

47
Q

What is the typical stroke volume

A

70 mL

48
Q

What is the stroke volume equation

A

stroke volume = End diastolic volume - end systolic volume

49
Q

define ejection fraction

A
  • effectivness of the ventricles in ejecting blood
  • fraction of the end-diastolic volume that is ejected in one stroke volume
50
Q

What is the normal ejection fraction

A

0.55 or 55%

51
Q

What is ejection fraction an indicator of?

A

contractility

52
Q

What does cardic output depend on

A

volume ejected on a single beat and the number of beats per min

53
Q

What is described as the volume of blood ejected by the ventricles depends on the volume present in the ventricles at the end of diastole

A

Frank starling relationship

54
Q

The volume present at the end of diastole in turn depends on the volume returned to the eart, which is known as

A

venous return

55
Q

T/F: cardiac output is larger than venous return?

A

False!!

  • cardiac output equals venous return
56
Q

As venous return (increases or decreases) end diastolic volume increases and because of length-tension relationship in the ventricles stroke volume increases

A

increases
