ECG
Records the flow of electrical impulses through the heart.
To read ECG:
■ Remember that a single lead corresponds to an anatomic territory.
■ Look at multiple leads together for voltage abnormalities and axis
deviations.
■ Look at a single lead for arrhythmias.

Bainbridge Reflex
■ Stretch of atria (with ↑ blood volume) causes ↑ HR and, therefore, ↑ CO.
■ Mediated by stretch receptors in atria.
Receptor cells are sensitive to pressure and stretch.
■ Mediated by vagal (CN X) afferents to the medulla.
■ Efferent loop is slowing of vagal output
Bainbridge Reflex
Pumps more blood out of pulmonary system to the systemic system.
■ This helps prevent pulmonary edema.
Bainbridge Reflex
Baroreceptor
HR, BP
Chemoreceptor
Respiration > vasomotor
Baroreceptors
■ Modulate intravascular pressure and HR over a short time period.
■ Activated by ↑ BP.
■ Causes ↓ HR, vasodilation, ↓ BP
BARORECEPTOR REFLEX (VALSALVA )
■ ↑ BP/↑ stretch of baroreceptors → ↑ parasympathetic afferent output (CN
IX, X) → medulla → ↑ vagal efferent tone (CN X) (↓ sympathetic tone)
→↓HR, ↓ BP (vasodilation, venodilation) →↓CO.
■ Antagonist to Bainbridge reflex.
car sinus
Spindle-shaped dilation of receptors at
he common carotid artery bifurcation
(superior border of thyroid cartilage).
Afferent = CN IX.
carotid sinus
Afferent = CN X.
Aortic Arch Baroreceptora
Receptors in the aortic arch
Aortic Arch Baroreceptora
carotid sinus syndrome
Excessive stimulation of both carotid sinuses (eg, convulsive seizures) can
lead to momentary loss of consciousness because of vagal discharge, venodilation,
vasodilation.
RESPONSE TO SUDDEN STANDING
↓ BP in brain, upper body sensed by baroreceptors →
■ ↓ parasympathetic firing (CN IX, X); (sympathetic discharge → ↑HR,
↑ conduction velocity, ↑ cardiac contractility, ↑ peripheral resistance ↑
vasoconstriction), ↓ renal blood flow ↑a1 vasocontriction of afferent artery;
b1 on JGA →↑renin →↑angiotensin-II → aldosterone→↑blood back to
heart (↑preload because venoconstriction of large veins) → ↑ CO →
return/maintain BP.
