Hemodynamic Disorders 1 Flashcards
Normal LV end diastolic pressure
10 mmHg
Normal LV systolic pressure
130 mmHg
Normal RA pressure
3 mmHg
Normal RV systolic pressure
25 mmHg
Normal LA pressure
8 mmHg
Preload is represented by
EDV and ED pressure
Frank-Starling mechanism
?
Afterload is sometimes referred to as
systolic ventricular wall tension or stress
Laplace relationship
Systolic ventricular wall stress = (systolic ventricular wall pressure x ventricular chamber radius)/(2 x ventricular wall thickness)
determinants of the force of ventricular contraction in systole
preload
afterload
contractility
inotropic state of the heart
contractility
Contractility is determined by
sympathetic/parasympathetic nerve input hormonal influences (epi, norepi, etc) drugs (dobutamine, milrinone, etc)
compliance of the ventricle
stiffness of the ventricular wall
restrictive cardiomyopathy
ventricular compliance decreases below the ability of the atrium to fill it normally
diastolic dysfunction
impaired cardiac filling
systolic dysfunction
impaired cardiac pumping
impaired contractility or greatly increased afterload cause
systolic dysfunction
Systolic dysfunction decreases the
stroke volume
ejection fraction
The more stiff a ventricle is, the harder it is to _____.
fill
Diastolic dysfunction does not typically reduce
ejection fraction
THE 5 MAJOR CATEGORIES OF THE FACTORS DETERMINING THE HEART’S FUNCTION AS A PUMP (CO)
- PRELOAD
- AFTERLOAD
- CONTRACTILITY
- COMPLIANCE
- HEART RHYTHM
The inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the needs of the body.
Cardiac Failure
The most common cardiac hemodynamic disorder.
