Q

22
Q

The first heart sound signifies closure of which heart valves?

A

Closure of mitral/tricuspid (AV) valves during isovolumic contraction (phase 2)

23
Q

The second heart sound signifies closure of which heart valves?

A

Closure of aortic/pulmonic valves during isovolumic relaxation (phase 5)

24
Q

During which phase of the cardiac cycle is the majority of blood ejected from the left ventricle?

A

Phase 3–rapid ejection

25
Q

During which phase of the cardiac cycle does most of the filling of the left ventricle occur?

A

Phase 6–rapid ventricular filling

26
Q

What is the “atrial kick”?

A

Occurs near the end of diastole as the atria begin contracting and pump blood into the ventricles—this pressurized delivery during ventricular relaxation (ventricular diastole) is called the atrial systole or atrial kick

27
Q

How much does the atrial “kick” contribute to ventricular filling? Does it vary with different rhythms?

A

At normal heart rates, 10%

At higher heart rates (i.e.: during exercise), can contribute up to 40% of ventricular filling.

There can be a loss of atrial kick in patients with atrial fibrillation.

28
Q

What are the 4 major determinants of cardiac output?

A
  • Preload
  • Afterload
  • Contractility
  • Heart rate
29
Q

Under normal circumstances, stroke volume can be INCREASED by increasing or decreasing end-diastolic volume (no change in ESV)?

A

Increasing EDV

30
Q

Under normal circumstances, stroke volume can be INCREASED by increasing or decreasing end-systolic volume (no change in EDV)?

A

Decreasing ESV

31
Q

What is the Bowditch Effect/Treppe Effect/Staircase Phenomenon?

A

The idea that an increase in heart rate will also cause positive inotropy

32
Q

What are other names for the Bowditch Effect?

A
  • Treppe Effect

- Staircase Phenomenon

33
Q

What causes the Bowditch Effect?

A
  • It occurs due to an increase in intracellular Ca++ with higher heart rates
  • More Ca++ = more depolarizations per minute
  • Na+/K+-ATPase pump cannot keep up with the influx of Na+, thus the Na+-Ca++ exchange pump doesn’t function as well
34
Q

Why do extremely high heart rates result in a decrease in cardiac output?

A

The heart at a faster rate does not stay relaxed long enough to allow for complete ventricular filling

35
Q

As preload increases (within normal limits), cardiac output increases. What is the name for this phenomenon?

A

Frank-Starling Mechanism

36
Q

As preload decreases, cardiac output decreases. What is the name for this phenomenon?

A

Frank-Starling Mechanism

37
Q

What physiologic relationship keeps cardiac output of the ventricle matched with venous return?

A

Frank-Starling Mechanism

38
Q

What physiologic relationship keeps the cardiac output of the right and left ventricles matched?

A

Frank-Starling Mechanism

39
Q

What are some of the things that affect ventricular preload? (6 things)

A
  • Venous blood pressure (affected by venomotor tone/venous volume)
  • Filling time
  • Ventricular compliance
  • Atrial contraction
  • Inflow or outflow resistance
  • Ventricular systolic failure
40
Q

What affects venous volume? (5 things)

A
  • Venous return
  • Total blood volume
  • Respiration
  • Exercise/muscle contraction
  • Gravity
41
Q

What is the Frank-Starling Relationship?

A

When venous return to the heart is increased, ventricular filling increases, as does preload. This stretching of the myocytes causes an increase in force generation, which enables the heart to eject the additional venous return and thereby increase stroke volume.

AKA—the heart pumps the blood that returns to it

42
Q

The Frank-Starling Relationship allows the heart to readily adapt to changes in ___

A

Venous return

43
Q

The Frank-Starling Relationship plays an important role in balancing…

A

The output of the 2 ventricles

44
Q

(According to the Frank-Starling Relationship) Increasing ___ and ___ leads to an increase in ___

A

Venous return and ventricular preload, stroke volume

45
Q

What parameter is representing on the “y” axis (vertical axis) of the Frank-Starling Curve?

A

Stroke volume

46
Q

What parameter is represented on the “x” axis (horizontal axis) of the Starling Curve?

A

Left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP)

47
Q

What factors can cause an increased afterload? (4 things)

A
  • Increased aortic pressure
  • Increased systemic vascular resistance
  • Aortic valve stenosis
  • Ventricular dilation
48
Q

Increases in afterload cause cardiac output to increase or decrease?

A

Decrease

49
Q

Wall stress can be used to help understand what determinant of cardiac output?

A

Afterload

50
Q

Define contractility.

A

The inherent capacity of the myocardium to contract independently of changes in afterload or preload

51
Q

What is another name for contractility?

A

Inotropy
