Equation for Stroke Volume
EDV-ESV
Equation for Ejection Fraction
SV/EDV
Normal Q
5 L/min
What is innervated by the sympathetic system in the heart
SA node, AV node, and the myocardium
What does an increase in sympathetic tone do
Increase contractility of the heart
How do you change sympathetic and parasympathetic tone
Higher brain centers, Chemoreceptors, Muscle Receptors, and Systematic Receptors influence the Medulla - with the vasomotor and cardiac center
Increase in sympathetic tone is caused by
Increased T (hypothalamus)
Increased emotional stress (cerebral cortex)
Increased movement (mechanoreceptors)
Increased PCO2, Increased H+, or Decrease PO2 (chemoreceptors)
What happens to SV when you go from laying down to standing up
It decreased due to the influence of gravity
What happens to SV when you go from laying down to running
Increase in SV
HR vs treadmill speed acute exercise
Linear increase in HR until you reach the HR max
What happens to HR, Qmax, and VO2max with age
All will decrease
Is HRmax a limit of speed?
No, it only limits the CV system
Does SV plateau, and if so, when?
Yes at about 40-60% of max intensity
What happens to EDV in acute exercise w/increase intensity and why
It increases until about moderate intensity due to an increase in venous return causing greater stretch and therefore a greater contraction. After it plateaus
What happens to ESV in acute exercise w/increase ex intensity and why
Not much change to it - If contractility increases it will decrease
What is Qmax
The point at which the heart cannot pump more blood
What happens to SBP with low-mod Intensity acute aerobic exercise
It increases due to the increase in Q
What happens to DBP with low-mod Intensity acute aerobic exercise
It decreases a little or it stays the same due to a reduction in peripheral resistance
What is the simple equation for MAP
1/3(SBP-DBP) + DBP
What happens to TPR with low-mod Intensity acute aerobic exercise
It will decrease due to vasodilation
What is the Rate Pressure Product (RPP)
It is a measure of the workload on the heart - HR x SBP
What happens to RPP with low-mod Intensity acute aerobic exercise
It plateaus
What happens to SV, HR, and Q with low-mod Intensity acute aerobic exercise
All will increase but are limited by max HR and SV
What is CV drift
A heart rate increase even with steady state exercise to try to compensate the decreased SV due to increased sweating - this is exacerbated in a hot environment
How can you limit CV drift
Fluid replacement during exercise
What happens to Q during acute maximal aerobic exercise
It will increase to a point but will level off - around same point as HR max
Can you keep increasing workload past the max Q
Yes it is possible
What happens to HR during acute maximal aerobic exercise
It will increase to a point but will level off - around same point as Q max
What occurs with SBP in acute maximal aerobic exercise
Increase to a point but stop bc Q will stop increasing
What occurs with DBP in acute maximal aerobic exercise
It stays flat because any changes are offset are due to the massive vasodilation that occurs
What occurs with MAP in acute maximal aerobic exercise
It increases due to the increase in SBP
What occurs with TPR in acute maximal aerobic exercise
It will reduce with an increased workload due to the increased vasodilation of the vessels
What occurs to RPP in acute maximal aerobic exercise
It increases and plateaus near the Q max and SBP max
Do HR, VO2, and Q share a common max in acute maximal aerobic exercise
Yes - they all increase to around the same point
Q and VO2 in UE vs LE (acute)
Q and VO2 are lower in UE than LE due to less muscle mass being utilized
Difference of HR max UE vs LE (acute)
It is the same max value for both, it just occurs at a lower VO2 for UE
SV in UE vs LE (acute)
SV decreases in UE due to less vasodilation since there is less muscle mass recruited and therefore a higher TPR
MAP in UE vs LE (acute)
Q is the same at any given VO2, but TPR lower in LE so lower MAP
RPP UE vs LE (acute)
It is higher in UE because of higher TPR in UE so heart has to do more work
What kind of overload do you get with (acute):
A: Aerobic training
B: Resistance training
A: Flow overload
B: Pressure overload
(acute) HR and
A: Aerobic Training
B: Resistance training
A: Increase a lot more than just static
B: modest increase due to resistance to blood flow (decreased SV due to increased afterload)
(acute) BP and
A: Aerobic Contraction
B: Resistance Contraction
A: Some increase - mainly milks muscles to increase flow/venous return
B: Sharp rise in BP due to contracting venous blood flow, therefore increase TPR to increase V and SBP and DBP due to large afterload
(acute) Q and
A: Aerobic Training
B: Resistance training
A: higher bc SV and HR increase (increase Q due to increased demand -flow overload: increase venous return to increase EDV)
B: lower due to lower SV
(acute) BP and
A: Aerobic Training
B: Resistance training
A: Increase SBP, no change DBP
B: increase SBP and increase DBP (due to TPR) - note: LE > UE
What happens to blood flow when you increase sympathetic tone (acute)
Increased SV and Q due to compressing the venous volume so more return to heart
Where is most of the blood at rest
On the venous side (64%)
What is the primary determinate of flow
Vasomotion
What is sympathetic effect on vessels
Vasoconstriction - leads to a change in blood flow
Relative changes of blood flow during acute exercise Muscle flow - Renal and GI - Heart- Brain - Skin -
Muscle flow - 80-90% Renal and GI - decrease Heart- same Brain - reduced Skin : increase with intensity to high intensity
Absolute changes of blood flow during acute exercise Muscle flow - Renal and GI - Heart- Brain -
Muscle flow - large increase towards the working muscle, proportional to muscle mass working
Renal and GI - decrease with intensity
Heart- increase proportional to intensity
Brain - no change (areas in brain and activity changed)
Can you increase O2 consump of working tissue without changing Q?
Yes - due to the change in distribution of blood flow to the heart, lungs, and working tissue
What is the Fick equation
VO2 = Q x a-vO2 diff
Acute Central changes in Q and a-vO2 to alter VO2 max:
Change HR or SV to alter ability to move O2
Change blood volume to increase flow
Change Hb to increase carrying capacity
Acute Peripheral changes in Q and a-vO2 to alter VO2 max:
Alter flow to the nonexercising regions to improve a-vO2 diff
Increased amount of capillaries for O2 exchange in the working tissues
Endurance training and VO2 max (chronic)
Considerable increase
Q and a-vO2 also increase due to increase SV
What happens to SV relative to VO2 with endurance training (chronic)
It will be higher at any given VO2 (due to increase in EDV)
