Q

isovolumic contraction

A

AV valve closes when ventricular pressure exceeds atrial pressure
but pressure is not high enough to open aortic valve
therfore isovolumic contraction increases pressure but does not affect the volume
this increase in pressure causes the aortic valve to open leading to ejection

84
Q

A

preload
stretching of cardiac muscles before contraction
i.e caused by EDV

afterload
force myocytes coontract against

preload is a volume
afterload is a force

85
Q

effect of increase in EDV

increased stretch of myocardium
increase in sarcomere length
increased length of overlapping filaments
increased force of contraction
increased stroke volume

86
Q

what is a sarcomere?

A

basic contractile unit of a myocyte (muscle fibre)
a sarcomere is composed of two main protein filaments (thin actin and thick myosin filaments)

87
Q

sarcomere physiology

A

increased stretch opens stretch sensitive calcium channels
stretch enhances affinity of troponin C for Calcium
increased force of contraction as a result

88
Q

when maximum stretch reached

A

little overlap between actin and myosin
lots of unbound myosin heads
decreased stroke volume

89
Q

factors affecting preload

A

ventricular compliance
heart rate
venous return
ventricular compliance
valvular resistance
atrial contractility

90
Q

myocyte action potential - look at graph!

A

phase 0 - fast depolarisation and overshoot
- AP of adjacent cell induced due to movement of ions between gap junctions
- voltage gated sodium channels open
- rapid depolarisation
- channels close immediately afterwards

phase 1 - notch
- opening of transient K+ channels
- efflux of potassium
- small repolarisation
- +10mV to 0mv

phase 2 - plateau
- L-type Ca2+ channels open
- influx of calcium balanced by K+ efflux
- less duration in atria than ventricles as ventricles need greater contraction

phase 3 - repolarisation
- closure of calcium channels
- opening of more potassium channels for K+ efflux

phase 4 - baseline
- resting membrane potential achieved by action of Na/ K+ ATPase pump
- also achieved by membrane being more permeable to K+

remember it starts on 4, then 0, then 1…

91

Q

is the action potential of the heart longer than skeletal muscle?
is the absolute refractory period longer?

A

yes
yes

150
Q

pacemaker potential

A

3 phases
phase 4
- leaky F type Na channels (permeable to K+) open
- ‘funny’ as open when most negative
- positive Na+ influx causes gradual -60mV to -40mV

phase 0
- T-type Ca2+ channels open
- depolarisation from -40mV to +10mV

phase 3
- +10mV to -60mV
- closure of T type Ca2+ channels and opening of K+ channels

responsible for automaticity of the heart

151
Q

primary pacemaker
latent (potential) pacemakers

A

primary - SAN - highest rate of discharge
latent
- AVN
- bundle of his
- purkinje fibres

152
Q

control of pacemaker potential
sympathetic and parasympathetic

A

NAd is sympathetic
- increases Ca2+ channel opening
- faster depolarisation
- stepher phase 0
- increases heart rate and force of contraction

ACh is parasympathetic
- decreases heart rate
- activates K+ channels
- hyperpolarises membrane
- longer to reach threshold potential
- decreases calcium influx
- decreases slope of pacemaker potential

153
Q

excitation-contraction coupling

A

waves of depolarisation spread into myocytes via T-tubules
L-type Ca2+ channels open
Ca2+ enters muscle cell
Ca2+ binds to ryanodine receptor
release of more calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum
(calcium induced calcium release)
calcium binds to troponin to uncover active site on tropomyosin
cross bridge cycling = muscle contraction
force of contraction is directly proportional to levels of cytosolic Ca2+

154
Q

what determins force of cardiac contraction?

A

cytosolic Ca2+
so drugs that increase myocardial contractility increase cytosolic calcium levels
e.g adrenalin

155
Q

difference between segment and interval

A

segment
- period of isoelectric neutrality
interval
- a region including magnitude

156
Q

PR segment

A

delay in AVN
because it is between end of P wave (atrial contraction) and start of QRS complex (vent. contraction)

157
Q

ST segment

A

plateau phase of ventricular repolarisation

158
Q

PR interval

A

atrioventricular conduction time

159
Q

QT interval

A

total ventricular contraction during systole

160
Q

how many leads? how many of each type?

A

12 leads
6 limb leads
- 3 bipolar
- unipolar
6 chest leads
- all unipolar

161
Q

one small square and one large square

A

small - 0.05s
large 0.2s

162
Q

limb leads

A

3 bipolar - I, II, III
3 unipolar (augmented) - aVR, aVL, aVF

163
Q

lead electrode placements

A

lead V1
- 4th intercostal space right sternal border

V2
- 4th ICS left sternal border

V3
- midway between V2 and V4

V4
- 5th ICS midclavicular line

V5
- anterior axillary line at the same level as V4

V6
- midaxillary line at same level as V4 and V5

164
Q

Frank Starling Curve

A

find picture
2 ways stroke volume increases
1. increased stretch opens stretch sensitive calcium channels
increased cytosolic calcium
increased force of contraction

  1. stretch enhances affinity of troponin C for calcium
    increased force of attraction

after maximum stretch reached
- little overlap between actin and myosin
- lots of unbound myosin heads
- decreased force of contraction
- decreased stroke volume

165
Q

positive ionotrophy

A

increased contractility
agents
- adrenaline, thyroxine
- drugs e.g digitoxin
- sympathetic nervous system

166
Q

negative ionotrophic agents

A

beta blockers
parasympathetic nervous system

168
Q

what controls blood volume?

A

RAAS

169
Q

intrinsic blood pressure control

A

myogenic autoregulation
- arterioles regulate its own blood pressure based on how much it is stretched
- constrict if pressure increases

local mediators
vasoconstrictors
- endothelin 1
vasodilators
- prostacyclin
- hypoxia in systemic circulation
- tissue factor
- NO
- bradykinin
- protons, potassium, calcium

170
Q

extrinsic blood pressure control

A

circulating hormonal factors
vasoconstrictors
- adrenaline - alpha adrenergic receptors
- angiotensin II
- vasopressin
dilators
- ANP
- adrenaline - beta 2 adrenergic receptors
baroreceptors
- pressure
- carotid sinus and aortic arch
- afferent neurons are CN 9 and 10
- efferent are SNS or PNS to heart and vessels
neural control

171
Q

how is blood controlled long and short term

A

long - RAAS and blood volume
short - baroreceptors
