27
Q

Explain the Non-pacemaker cell AP graph

A

Phase 4 - resting potential at -90mV due to K leaving cell–>
Cell gets rapidly depolarized to -70mV–>
Phase 0 - Rapid depolarization - Fast Na channels open and K channels close –> membrane potential gets more positive
Phase 1 - Initial repolarization due to opening of transient K channels
Phase 2 - Plateau phase- due to L-type Ca channels still open – prolongs AP
Phase 3 - K channels open and Ca channels close allowing full repolarization back to Phase 4

29
Q

Non pacemaker cell Phase 0

A

Depolarization caused by opening of Fast Na channels at -70
L Ca channels also open at -40
and K channels close

30
Q

Non pacemaker Phase 2

A

Plateau phase - due to L Ca channels still open–> causes plateau

31
Q

Non pacemaker Phase 3

A

Opening of K channels and closing of L Ca channels–> Repolzarization

32
Q

Non pacemaker Phase 4

A

-90 mV - most negative - due to K channels open and K leaving cell

33
Q

AP in Non-pacemaker cells primarily determined by what channels

A

Fast Na channels, L type Ca channels, and K conductance

34
Q

Depolarizing current in SA node AP’s carried by what ion?

A

Slow Ca currents

35
Q

Explain the Pacemaker cell AP graph

A

Phase 4 - spontaneous depolarization up from -60 to -40 due to funny currents of slow inward Na, then T Ca channels open, then L Ca channels open–> until action potential reached around -40 (K channels close too)
Phase 0 - Depolarization! Primarily via L Ca channels
Phase 3 - Repolarization - via K channels openning and L Ca channels closing

36
Q

Pacemaker cell Phase 0

A

Depolarization! Via L Ca channels!

37
Q

Pacemaker cell Phase 4

A

K channels closing, Funny currents from slow Na inward, then T Ca channels open, and the L Ca channels open further depolarizing until reached AP threshold

38
Q

Pacemaker cell Phase 3

A

Repolarization due to K channels opening and L Ca Channels closing

39
Q

AP in Pacemaker cells primarily determined by changes in which Ion conductance

A

Ca and K

40
Q

Hyperkalemia effect on cardiac rate

A

Bradycardia!!

41
Q

DEF: Preload

A

The end diastolic volume in the left and right ventricles
The stretching of the muscle cells to their extend after passive filling and then atrial contraction and right before ventricular contraction

42
Q

DEF: Afterload

A

The pressure in the left venticle during ejection- essentially the load against which the heart ejects blood
The greater the aortic pressure, the greater the afterload

BASICALLY a measure of ability to complete daily tasks

54

A

Can’t climb flight of stairs

At greater risk of cardiovascular problem

55

A

Administer less Epi?

Make sure don’t have quick or large changes in pulse or BP

56
Q

DEF: Ejection Fraction

A

% of blood leaving heart each time it contracts

57
Q

Normal Ejection Fraction

A

55-70%

58
Q

Evidence of Systolic Heart Failure

A

Ejection Fraction

59
Q

DEF: Baroreceptor Reflex

A

Homeostatic mech to maintain BP

60
Q

How does Baroreceptor Reflex work?

A

Provides a negative feedback loop–> if senses elevated BP, it sends signal to heart to decrease rate so as to dec BP
A dec in BP causes dec baroreceptor activation and thus causes heart rate to inc due to lack of signals from baroreceptor
Baroreceptor slows down HR by activation or Parasymps and Inactivation or Symps

61
Q

Baroreceptor locations

A

Aortic arch and carotid sinus

62
Q

Drug eluting vs. Bare metal stent

A

Drug eluting stents release drug to reduce restenosis

63
Q

Use of anti-platelet therapy with Drug eluting vs bare metal stents

A

Okay to treat bare metal stent pt 1 mo after placement if only on aspirin. Have to wait 6 mo to a year for drug eluting to take only aspirin

64
Q

What provides innervation to the heart?

A

Vagus N.

65
Q

Parasympathetic predominance on heart leads to

A

Slowing the HR

66
Q

Parsympathetics on the Heart

A

Release Ach–> goes to Muscarinic receptors–> opens K channels–> slows heart depolarization

67
Q

Sympathetic predominance on the heart leads to

A

Increasing the HR

68
Q

Sympathetics on the Heart

A

Release NE and E –> goes to B1 receptors–> opens Na and Ca channels–> inc rate of depolarization –> Inc HR

69

Muscarinic
