Integration of Cardiac Function Flashcards
1
Q
intrinsic mechanisms
A
- local to the heart
- mechanical/muscular
- starlings
- contractility
- electrical/ionic, ionic concentrations`
2
Q
extrinsic mechanisms
A
- SNS- NE, B1 receptor, increases cAMP, tachy and increased contractility
- PNS-Ach, M2 receptors, decrease cAMP, brady, decreased contractility
- neuronal and hormonal signaling pathwats
3
Q
CO
A
-proportional to oxygen consumption
4
Q
increase CO
A
- exercise
- fever
- anxiety
- body weigh
- pregnancy
- hyperthyroidism
- compensatory increases-chronic anemia, histotoxic hypoxia, pulmonary disease with hypoxemia
- mild inspiratory hypoxia
5
Q
decrease CO
A
- sleep
- aging
- severe anoxia
- acute hemorrhage
- heart disease-acute MI, rheumatic fever, CHF
6
Q
steady states
A
- try and keep CO around 5
- increase volume shifts venous function curve to the right
- increase SNS shifts cardiac function curve to up, inc HR or SV
7
Q
response to exercise
A
-mechanical and chemical
8
Q
mechanical response to exercise
A
- muscle pump increases venous return
- increase in RAP
- increase in end diastolic pressure
- increase in SV
- inc in CO
9
Q
chemical response to exercise
A
- increase CO2, dec O2, decrease pH
- local vasodilation of active muscle increases venous return (which increases RAP)
- also decreases arterial pressure
- activates arterial baroreceptors (decrease AP- less PNS, more SNS)
- increase in HR and SV, increase CO
- vasoconstriction of inactive muscle, splanchnic, cutaneous, renal
10
Q
SNS
A
- heart stronger pump
- increases MSFP due to venoconstriction- same volume in smaller vessel
11
Q
SNS
A
- heart weaker pump
- decreases MSFP
12
Q
phases of the cardiac cycle
A
- filling
- isovolumetric contraction phase
- ejection phase
- isovolumetric relaxation phase
- mechanical and electrical events that occur during a heart beat
13
Q
P
A
-atrial depolarization
14
Q
QRS
A
- ventricular depol
- phase 0 upstroke
- R onset of ventricular contraction
15
Q
T wave
A
- ventricular repolarization
- phase 3
