L25 CVD intro, antiarrhythmias Flashcards
how can you inhibit reflex bradychardia?
inhibit ganglia
atropine
inhibit vasoconstriction?
inhibit ganglia
or alpha/beta receptors in art
M1
glands in GI
IP3 = more Ca in cell
M3
more abundant, where ever there is PS tone
also through IP3
What is CHF
heart cant supply blood to peripheral tissue during exorcise or at rest
What is a major cause of death in CHF
40% is sudden death from arrhythmias
preload
size of the venous veins (venous reservoir) and the volume of the extracellular space. if there is increased salt and fluid retention, then your blood volume goes up which increases the filling pressure and that will increase the preload
afterload
peripheral resistance = resistance of arteries + viscosity of the blood. Afterload is regulated by alpha-1 receptors bc they determine peripheral resistance
How does blood viscosity affect cardiac performance?
it affects the afterload
What receptors control contractility
a1
what controls heart rate?
B1 and M2 (vagal tone)
how is contractility controlled within cells?
Trigger Ca controls amount of Ca released into ER, increases contractility
What is the role of the cardiac Na-Ca exchanger
the amount of Ca inside the cell is determined by the Na/Ca exchanger (antiporter) Na goes in and Ca gets kicked out Na/Ca exchanger will be removing more Ca from the cell when the cell is hyperpolarized (Na+ attracted to - inside of cell)
the NA/K ATPase
primary transport mechanism, Na out, K in, also digoxin competes with the K binding spot
Digoxin mechanism
block Na/K ATP, Na stays in, K cant get in, cell is depolarizes, opens L-type Ca channels, increased Ca increase CO
