Patho II Flashcards
diastole
cardiac muscle at rest
systole
cardiac muscle during contraction
Isovolumic ventricular contraction
first phase of ventricular contraction when AV valves are pushed closed by the pressure within ventricles; semi lunar valves; semi lunar valves remain closed
ventricular ejection
pressure within ventricles increases forcing semilunar valves open; allows ejection of blood into pulmonary or aortic circit
isovolumic ventricular relaxation
as blood ejection completes ventricles relax; blood falls back into semilunar valves to snap them closed
S1
“lub” first heart sound closing of AV valves
S2
“dub” second heart sound due to closure of semilunar valves
SV =
EDV - ESV
EF =
SV/EDV
preload
degree of myocardial stretch before contraction begins
afterload
ventricular force must overcome the resistance by blood filling the arterial system; the combined load of EDV and arterial resistance during ventricular contraction
contractility
intrinsic ability of a cardiac muscle fiber to contract at any given fiber length
normal SV
70
normal EDV
135
4 factors that determine venous return
1) skeletal muscle pump 2) respiratory pump 3) symp nervous system innervation of veins 4) Blood Volume
how do diuretics affect blood volume, EDV, SV?
decrease
SNS activity increase contractility
increase heart rate and contractility
ionotroph effects ___ cells.
myocardial
chronograph effects ___ cells.
SA nodal
increased cAMP in cardiac myocytes results in (2 things)
increased VGCC & phospholamban
phospholamban
removes inhibitory (think activates) effect on SR Ca+2 ATPase (SRCA); increases calcium delivery to SR more Ca+2 available to increase contractile force
NE is a ____ iontroph, meaning ____
positive; increases contractibility & SV
Verapamil is a ___ iontroph and a ___ chronotroph, meaning
negative, negative, decreases ability of heart to contract at any EDV
