Q

Calculate the CO

A 60 year old male has a resting heart rate of 75 beats/min, arterial pressure 130/85 mm Hg, body temperature was normal. Using the pressure volume diagram below.
What is the stroke volume? CO in L/min?

A

135-65= 70 mL for SV

70 x 75 = 5,250 mL = 5.25 L/min

Q

Factors Effecting CO

A
  • Vascular (intrinsic)
  • Heart muscle itself (intrinsic)
  • Autonomic Nervous System (extrinsic)
  • Endocrine-hormones, electrolytes (extrinsic)
  • Intrathoracic Pressures: increased intrathoracic pressure reduces venous return (extrinsic)
17
Q

  • An increase in venous return to the heart results in an increased ____ stretch
  • As the heart muscle stretches, increasing chamber volume, the cardiac output __________
A

frank-starling law of the heart
diastolic
increases proportionately

18
Q

Preload (volume)
- Venous return
- Stretches the cardiac fibers before ______
- Vascular system role is to ensure that the pressure does not = ______
- Dynamic exercise, posture change, aortic regurg increase preload

A

contraction
0 (0 return)

19
Q

Afterload – aortic pressure _____ mm Hg
