Q

splitting of S2

A

best heart during inspiration

On right side of heart:

  • Relatively negative intrathoracic pressure –>greater VR to RA/RV –> increased EDV –> greater RV ejection volume
  • Additional time for RV ejection delays pulmonary valve closure (P2) more
  • Enhances physiological splitting of S2

Effect on left side of heart:

  • Relatively negative intrathoracic pressure –>retention of blood in dilated pulmonary v.v. –>reduced VR to LA/LV –> decreased LV EDV & ejection
  • Less time for LV ejection accelerates aortic valve closure (A2) more
  • Enhances physiological splitting of S2

Q

What are variations in S1, S2 splitting?

A

Louder S1 with Tachycardia
Valves are farther from being closed when contraction occurs (slam shut) vs. more time at slower HR to slowly begin closure

Pathologic S1 split
Additional increase in delay between Mitral and Tricuspid closure (M1 , T1)
Ex: Right Bundle Branch Block

Paradoxical S2 Splitting
A2 and P2 heard during expiration, not inspiration

Fixed S2 splitting
A2 and P2 heard throughout respiratory cycle

Mitral stenosis:
Valve stiffening may result in opening snap (OS) after S2, early diastole

Q

Venous Pulse

A

Contributions to venous pulse:

(1) Retrograde action of the heartbeat during cardiac cycle
(2) Respiratory cycle
(3) Contraction of skeletal muscles

  • same three waves as the atrial waves:
  • a wave: RA contraction, closely related to venous return
  • c wave: RV pressure in early systole (when all valves are closed and isovolumetric contraction occuring - bulging of tricuspid valve into RA)
  • v wave: RA filling (tricuspid closed)
  • increase pressure subsequent to y minimum –> occurs as VR continues with reduced ventricular filling

Q

How does NE affect heart rate

A
  • results in positive chronotropy: via binding Adrenergic B1 receptors; increases heart rate
  • increases funny current (increased diastolic Na+): results in increased steepness of phase 4 depolarization
  • increased Ca2+ current; increases steepness of phase 4 and makes threshold more negative (thus reached sooner)
  • > these result in shorter diastolic duration and threshold reached more quickly thus increaseing heart rate
24
Q

How does ACh affect heart rate?

A
  • binds cholinergic M2 receptors and results in negativ chronotropy
  • increases K+ conductance: more (-) max diastolic potential (RMP)
  • decreases If: decreaed slow depolarization rate
  • decreases ICa2+: decreases slow dep. rate; makes threshold more negative
25
Q

What is SV? How is it realated to CO? when is it increased/decreased?

A

SV = volume of blood ejected in 1 heartbeat (ml/beat)
SV = EDV - ESV
CO = HR x SV

In general:

SV is increased when:

  • End-diastolic volume is increased (EDV)
  • Contractility of the heart is increased

SV is decreased when:

  • Afterload is increased
26
Q

What are six factors that promote increased EDV?

A
  1. increased central venous pressure
  2. decreased HR
  3. increased ventricular compliance
  4. increased atrial contraction (symp. NE/Epi)
  5. increased aortic pressure
  6. pathological conditions: systolic failure, aortic stenosis/regurgitation, pulmonary valve stenosis/regurgitation
27
Q

Six factors resulting in decrease of EDV?

A
  1. decreased CVP
  2. increased HR
  3. decreased atrial contractility (atrial arrythmias/fibrillation)
  4. decreased afterloaddiastolic failure (ventricular hypertrophy/ lusitropy)
  5. mitral/tricuspid valve stenosis
28
Q

Factors which may decrease ESV?

A
  1. increased preload/ increased EDV
  2. decreased afterload
  3. increased contractility
  4. increased HR (can decrease or increase…. see notes)
29
Q

How is positive inotropy regulated by sympathetic control?

A
  • increased contractility due to B1 adrenergic receptors
  • increased Ca2+ availability results in increased contractile force and increased CO
  1. increased Ca2+ influx via L-type DHDP channels, increased Ca2+ inside of cell results in increased Ca2+ dep Ca2+ release from the SR
  2. increase sensitivity to RYR
  3. increased SERCA activity (phopholamban is phosphorylated and more calcium can be stored in SR)
  4. increased ECF Ca2+ influx, results in increased SR Ca2+ stores over time
30
Q

What is ESPVR?

A

**End-Systolic Pressure-Volume Relationship **

Slope of relationship between volume remaining at end of systole and a given End-systolic LV pressure

Indicator of contractility:
Lowest ESV possible independent of preload/EDV
The lower the ESV at a given LV pressure, the greater the contractility

increased contractiliy results in steeper more positive slope and increased stroke volume! (independent of EDV)

Also, sidenote: increased contractiliy results in increased steepness of ventricular performance curve

31
Q

What are 5 positive inotropic agents?

A
  • results in increased contractility
  1. adrenergic agonists (B1): catecholamines (NE/Epi)
  2. cardiac glycosides
  3. increased ECF [Ca2+]: (hypercalcemia)…. or decreased… see notes
  4. decreased ECF [Na+] (hyponateremia)
  5. increased HR: “bowditch effect”
32
Q

What are 5 negative inotropic agents?

A

decrease in contractility

  1. muscarinic agonists (M2)
  2. decreased ECF [Ca2+]
  3. Ca2+ channel blockers
  4. increased [Na+] ECF: hypernatremia
  5. decreased pH
33
Q

what results in positive lusitropy?

A

increased rate of relaxation = increased time for diastolic filling, increased SV

  • B1-adrenergic agonists
  1. phosphorylation of phospholamban
  2. phosphorylation of troponin I
34
Q

What effects negative lustiropy?

A
  • decreased rate of relaxation
  • elevated Ca2+ levels
  • impaired SERCA
  • increase affinity of Troponin C
  • pH changes
35
Q

  • Aldosterone promotes renal Na+ reabsorption
  • H2O follows by osmosis to increase effective circulating volume and increase MAP
45
Q

What are the humoral regulations of blood pressure?

A
  1. RAAS: increased MAP
  2. ADH/AVP: increased MAP
  3. ANH/ANP: decreased MAP
46
Q

What is the timing of neural and hormonal responses in the regulation of BP?

A

Fast acting:

  1. baroreceptors
  2. CNS ischemic
  3. chemoreceptors

Intermediate:

  1. capillary fluid shift
  2. renin-angiotensin vasoconstriction

Long-Term:

  1. aldosterone
  2. renal-blood volume pressure control
47
Q

What are six regulations of MAP?

A

ANS

  • Specific CV control reflexes (ex: baroreceptor reflex)
  • Generalized ANS activation (ex: fight-or-flight response)

Respiratory

  • Ventilation: modification of intrinsic chemoreceptor response
  • Respiration: negative intra-thoracic pressure –>increased VR
  • Respiration: water evaporation can impact blood volume over time, without compensation

Hematopoietic organs and liver

  • Control of blood composition
  • Hematocrit & large proteins: blood viscosity and flow
  • Plasma protein: colloid osmotic pressure and Starling forces –> distribution ECF between interstitium and blood plasma

GI/Urinary:

  • Long-term BP regulation: control of electrolyte & H2O input/output –> impacts ECF volume and composition

Endocrine System:

  • Influence vascular tone, fluid volume & electrolyte composition (renal and G.I. actions), epinephrine

Temperature Regulation system:

  • CV system is important in thermoregulation
  • Blood distribution: core –> skin promotes heat loss
  • Sweating –> loss of ECF, decreased ECV
48
Q

What is the integrated CV response during exercise?

A
  1. Exercise pressor reflex
  2. Sensitivity of baroreflexes
  3. Skeletal m. vasodilation
  4. Circulating epinephrine
  5. Venous return
  6. Temperature regulation
49
Q

what are main trends of exercising to cardiovascular control?

A

increased HR and VR: increased CO

decreased TPR

general increase in MAP and PP

vasoconstriction in inactive beds

vasodilation in active beds: allows for perfusion of active tissues

50
Q

What are effects of training and exercise in cardiovascular demands?

A

Training:

  • improves O2 extraction
  • increased capiillary density
  • oxidative enzymes
  • mitochondrial density
  • myoglobin

CV adaptations:

  1. Lower resting HR: increased vagal tone and decreased Symp at rest
  2. Greater SV
  3. Lower TPR (especially in muscle)

—> Endurance training: increased LV volume (with minimal change in wall thickness), increased filling

–> Resistance training: increased LV wall thickness (concentric hypertorphy); little effect on ventricular volume

51
Q

What does medulla oblongata do?

A

“cardiovascular center” or “vasomotor area”

  • regulates MAP; mediates S/PS response
  • receives input from baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, hypothalamus, cerebral cortex and local concentrations of O2 and CO2
52
Q

What do high pressure baroreceptors register? what happens? where are they located? when is their response most dominant?

A
  • located at carotid sinus and aortic arch
  • decreased firing with decreased MAP (and decreased PP), due to decreased stretch, results in greater PS and less S –> results in vasoconstriction and tachycardia
  • dominant responders to volume depletion
53
Q

Where are low pressure baroreceptors located: when are they most active???

A
  • cardiac chambers and large pulmonary vessels
  • increased firing rate with increased stretch of vena cava b/c of increased VR (opposite for decreased stretch)
  • regulate volume rather than MAP
  • affarent fibers go to medulla and decerase renal vasoconstriction in order to increase urine output and decrease effective circulating volume
54
Q

What does Bainbridge reflex do?

A

couterbalances high pressure baroreceptor reflex

with increased VR/RAP results in increased HR

  • most dominant during volume loading
55
Q

where are peripheral chemoreceptors located?

A

A

medulla oblangata

detects high levels of CO2 and stimulates vasoconstriction

57
Q

integrated physiological response to increased CO2?
