Cards

Term
When does the isovolumetric contractiion end?
Definition
When the left ventricular pressure exceeds the end diastolic aorta pressure.
Term
what is afterload?
Definition

The pressure at the end isovolumetric contraction.  This is when the pressure opens the aortic valve.

between phase 2 and phase 3 of cardiac cycle

Term
what is preload?
Definition

Volume at the end of phase 1.

after atrial kick completing the end of ventricular filling

Term
what is phase 3?
Definition
Phase three is the ejection fraction
Term
define contractility
Definition

 

   any mechanism that, at constant muscle length, shifts the force velocity curve to the right, has increased contractility (+ dP/ dt)

 

Term

 

   Inotropy

 

   Chronotropy-

 

   Dromotropy -

 

Lusitropy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Definition

 the force or energy of muscular contractions

 

 ‘heart rate’

 

 the speed of nerve conduction

 

- the speed of relaxation (- dP/ dt) (opposite of contractility)

Term

Ohms Law?

system ohms law

pulmonary ohms law

simplified law

Definition

change in pressure= Q() x R

 

Aortic pressure- right atrium pressure=COlv X SV

 

Pulmonary Arery Pressure-Left Atrium Pressure=CO(rv) x PVR(peripheral vascular resistance

 

AoP/SVR=PAP/PVR
