Exam 3 Cardiac Output Flashcards
cardiac reserve
is the difference between exercising CO and non exercising CO
CO formula
heart rate X stroke volume, average is 5L/min
stroke volume
the amount of blood that the heart pumps per beat average is 70
Starlings law of heart
the heart pumps all the blood that returns to it via veins
cardiomyopathy
heart muscle cells are sick, occurs from mutation or viral infection
preloading
amount of stretch to ventricular walls, sacromeres overlap, preloading is most important factor in SV
ejection fraction
SV/EDV is the % of blood ejected by ventricles/beat
contractility
how strongly the heart can contract based on health of the cell
afterload
blood pressure heart pumps again
chronotropic factors
positive > hr, negative < hr
ionotropic factors
positive > contractility, negative < contractility
