Physio (The Cardiac Cycle) Flashcards
- energy needed by heart
- convert work
- pumping blood into arteries
Stroke Work
- total energy
- converted to work in 1 minute
minute workout
action potential (sinus node) –> A-V bundle –> ventricles
Cardiac Cycle
- major proportion of energy
- low-pressure veins –> high pa
- low veins –> high arteries
volume-pressure
- minor proportion of energy
- accelerates blood
- velocity of ejection through aortic & pulmonary valve
kinetic energy of blood flow
- 1/6th work output of left ventricle
- six-fold difference in systolic pressure
right ventricular external work output
- blood flows with great velocity through the stenosed valve
- 50% of total work output may be required to create kinetic energy of blood flow
aortic stenosis
-specify degree of tension on muscles contracting
Preload
- specify load against
- muscle exerts contractile force
afterload
- preload
- beginning of systole
end-diastolic volume (EDV)
- EDV
- Directly related
myocardial sacromeres
- stops ejections
- ventricular pressure
- myocardial contraction < arterial pressure
end-systolic volume
- decreased preload
- e.g., nitroglycerin
vENodilators
- decrease afterload
- e.g., hydralazine
vASodilators
-increase with excercise
(slightly)
-increases blood volume
(transfusion)
-excitement (sympathetics)
preload
- at rest
- severve exercise
- intrinsic cardiation
- control of heart rate & strength of heart pumping
- frank-starling mechanism
- frank-starling relationship
- ejection fraction
regulation of heart pumping
- heart pump
- 4 to 6 L blood/min
at rest
-4 to 7 times blood/min , than normal (4-6L)
severe exercise
- intrinsic cardiation
- control of heart rate & strength of heart pumping
volume pumped by heart regulation
- response to
- change in volume
- blood flowing into the heart
intrinsic cardiation
-control of heart rate & strength of heart pumping
ANS
- heart adapts
- increase volumes of inflowing blood
- > heart muscle stretch, > amount of blood pumped into the aorta
Frank-Starling mechanism
