Q

Define: CO

A

amount of blood pumped per ventricle per unit time

24
Q

Unit for CO

A

L/min

25
Q

Unit for SV

A

mL/beat

26
Q

What is the normal CO?

A

5L/min

27
Q

What is normal blood volume?

A

5L

28
Q

Cardiac reserve is the difference between ___ and ___ CO

A

Resting

max

29
Q

What does Frank-Starling Law of the Heart ask?

A

What affects stroke volumes?

30
Q

What affects stroke volume?

A
  • Preload (mostly)

- Afterload

31
Q

Preload

A

Pressure at the end of diastole

32
Q

Afterload

A

Pressure during ventricular contraction

33
Q

What increases SV?

A
Increased EDV
Exercise (increase venous return)
Slow HR (allow more to fill)
34
Q

What decreases SV?

A

Blood loss
Rapid HR (no time to fill)
Decreased EDV

35
Q

Frank-Starling Law of the Heart states that…

A

SV increases as EDV increases

36
Q

EDV is affected directly by…

A

Venous return

37
Q

Venous return is directly affected by

A
  • skeletal muscle pump
  • Respiratory pump
  • SNS
38
Q

Force of contraction of heart is affected by…

A

EDV

Contractility / length of muscle fibre

39
Q

The Starling curve shows..

A

relationship between stretch (EDV) & force (SV)

Increased stretch = increased pressure
Increased EDV = increased SV

40
Q

How does increased EDV lead to increased SV?

A

EDV stretches the sacromere out more

41
Q

What happens to the Starling curve as intensity of exercise increases?

A

Becomes higher; bigger slope

Same EDV = higher SV

42
Q

What happens when EDV is too high?

A

Sacromeres stretch too much = left ventricle dysfunction

43
Q

Example of inotrope

A

NE

44
Q

How does NE affect contractility of the heart?

A

Starling curve looks like exercise
Same EDV = higher SV

Increase contractility

45
Q

are NE and E positive or negative inotropes?

A

Positive (increase contractility)

46
Q

Negative inotropes ___ contractility

A

decrease

47
Q

Examples of negative inotropes

A
  • B-blocker

- Ca channel blocker

48
Q

What is the purpose of negative inotropes?

A
  • Decrease risk of second MI

- Hypertension

49
Q

Contractility is independent of…

A
  • stretch

- EDV

50
Q

Increase in contractility comes from…

A
  • Sm stimuli
  • Hormones
  • more Ca++
  • Drugs
51
Q

Define: contractility

A

increase in contractile strength

52
Q

SNS ___ venous contraction

A

increases

53
Q

How does Sm NT affect contractility?

A

Bind to B1 G-proteins -> cAMP & PKA

More Ca++ binding to troponin

54
Q

High blood pressure ___ SV

A

decreases

55
Q

Only ___ affect the HR

A
  • SNS

- PNS
