Definition
Draw Wigger's Diagram
Term
when RA pressure > RV
Definition
when does the right AV valve open?
Term
to pump the last 20% of blood out (atria fill passively from the vena cava and pulmonary veins)
Definition
what is the purpose of atrial systole?
Term
the right AV valve (tricuspid) closes, and the pulmonary semilunar is forced open
Definition
when the right ventricle contracts, what valve closes, and what valve opens?
Term
when the left ventricle contracts and the left ventricle pressure is greater than aortic pressure
Definition
when does the mitral valve open?
Term
nothing really, they are just muscular
Definition
what do the semilunar valves have to keep them shut?
Term
pectinate muscles with chordae tendonae
Definition
what do the AV valve have to keep them shut?
Term
diastole
Definition
period of relaxation
Term
systole
Definition
period of contraction
Term
end diastolic volume
Definition
volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of the filling phase (when the mitral valve closes)
Term
isovolumic contraction

pressure is increasing to force the valves open
Definition
no change in the volume of blood in the ventricle during ventricular contraction because the valves are closed

(is the pressure increasing or decreasing?)
Term
isovolumic relaxation

pressure is decreasing so the ventricle can be filled again
Definition
no change in the volume of the blood in the ventricle during ventricular relaxation since the valves are closed

(is the pressure increasing or decreasing?)
Term
stroke volume
Definition
volume of blood pumped by ONE ventricle in ONE contraction
Term
ejection fraction
Definition
% of EDV that is pumped out or ejected
Term
stroke volume / EDV
Definition
what is the equation for ejection fraction?
Term
cardiac output
Definition
HR * stroke volume; the volume of blood being pumped by the heart (ventricle) in a minute
Term
5 L/min
Definition
what is a normal cardiac output?
Term
late diastole (before p wave)
Definition
what stage of the cardiac cycle?

both sets of chambers are relaxed and VENTRICLES fill passively
Term
atrial systole
Definition
what stage of the cardiac cycle?

atrial contraction forces a small amount of additional blood into the ventricles (20%)
Term
isovolumetric ventricular contraction
Definition
what stage of the cardiac cycle?

first phase of ventricular contraction pushes AV valves closed, but does not create enough pressure to open semilunar valves
Term
ventricular ejection
Definition
what stage of the cardiac cycle?

as ventricular pressure rises and exceeds pressure in the arteries, semilunar valve opens and blood is ejected
Term
isovolumic ventricular relaxation
Definition
what stage of the cardiac cycle?

as ventricles relax, pressure in the ventricles falls, blood flows back into the cups of the semilunar valves and snaps them closed

(Atrial pressure is not greater than ventricular)
Term
70/120 = 0.583
Definition
if stroke volume is 70mL, and EDV is 120mL, what is the ejection fraction?
Term
ventricular diastole
Definition
aka filling phase
Term
normally about 50mL that is left over before the ventricles begin to fill again
Definition
what is the end systolic volume?
Term
ejection phase (it's getting squeezed to squirt blood out)
Definition
when does the left ventricle have a higher pressure: filling phase, or ejecection phase?
Term
it doesn't vary too much, but goes up a little in atrial systole, isovolumic contraction/relaxation, and toward the end of ventricular diastole as the atria passively fill and increase pressure
Definition
does atrial pressure change much? when does it change?
Term
p wave initiates atrial systole
1) aortic pressure continues decreasing (no effect)
2)small increase in left ventricular pressure
3) small increase in left atrial pressure
4) increase in left ventricular volume
Definition
based on wigger's diagram, when the p wave fires, what happens immediately after this to 1)aortic pressure 2) left ventricular pressure 3) atrial pressure 4) left ventricular volume?
Term
R-just past S is the isovolumic contraction phase

1) aortic pressure stays the same (slight increase then decrease)
2) left ventricular pressure SPIKES (until valve opens)
3) atrial pressure increases
4) left ventricular vol is constant
Definition
based on wigger's diagram, when the QRS complex fires, what happens during this(say R to right after S) to 1)aortic pressure 2) left ventricular pressure 3) atrial pressure 4) left ventricular volume?
Term
as the ventricles contract

1) aortic pressure spikes and drops down
2)LV pressure follows aortic
3) LA pressure drops and goes back up
4) LV volume falls
Definition
based on wigger's diagram,from S to the end of T(ventricular contraction), what happens to 1)aortic pressure 2) left ventricular pressure 3) atrial pressure 4) left ventricular volume?
Term
hear the first heart sound after QRS (AV valves close)

hear the second hear sound after T wave (semilunar valves close)
Definition
when do you hear heart sounds using th e ECG waves?
Term
end of ventricular systole (right after t wave)
Definition
when in the cardiac cycle/ECG does the dicrotic notch occur?
Term
this is the isovolumic relaxation phase
1) aortic pressure decreases mostly
2)LV pressure RAPIDLY drops
3)LA pressure rises as it passively fills
4) no volume change in LV
Definition
based on wigger's diagram, when the t wave fires, what happens immediately after this to 1)aortic pressure 2) left ventricular pressure 3) atrial pressure 4) left ventricular volume?
Term
1) aortic pressure slowly declines
2) LA pressure drops as ventricles fill, but passively keeps filling so it rises a little at the end
3) LV pressure does the same as LA
4) ventricular volume increases as ventricles passively fill
Definition
based on wigger's diagram, what happens during ventricular diastole to 1)aortic pressure 2) left ventricular pressure 3) atrial pressure 4) left ventricular volume?
Term
men: 5.6 L/min
women: 4.9 L/min
Definition
what is normal CO for women? men?
Term
decreases
Definition
what happens to CO with age?
Term
elite runners can get up to 30-40 L/min, while normal people can get about 14 L/min
Definition
how does an elite runner's CO increase compare to a normal person?
Term
in general they match, but in metabolically active places, such as the heart, O2 consumption is a lot more than it's distribution of CO (so the blood returning from the heart is more deoxygenated that blood returning from other tissues)

kidneys are also like the heart
Definition
in general how does O2 consumption compare to distribution of CO? what about the heart?
Term
ANS
ion concentrations
chronotropic agents (drugs)
temperature
Definition
list the things that regulate HR(CO)

afterload (arterial pressure)
ion concentrations
ionotropic agents
Definition
list things that regulate SV (Stroke volume & CO)
Term

para: muscarinic
Definition
what are the heart receptors for sympathetics? para?
Term
sympathetic efferents from T1-T4
Definition
what releases norepi to the heart?
Term
Vagal efferents
Definition
what releases Ach to the heart?
Term
Gs -> adenylyl cyclase pathway ->cAMP->PKA-> L type CALCIUM channels open -> increased contraction
Definition
what part of the sympathetic stimulation produces an inotropic effect(increased contraction strength)?
Term
Gs -> adenylyl cyclase pathway ->cAMP -> PKA ->K+ channels open -> increased rate of relaxation
Definition
what part of the sympathetic stimulation produces a lusitropic effect (increased rate of relaxation)?
Term
Gs -> adenylyl cyclase pathway ->cAMP -> FUNNY CURRENT-> increased excitation and HR

(remember HCN: hyper polarization cyclic nucleotide gated (cAMP))
Definition
what part of the sympathetic stimulation produces a chronotropic effect(increased excitation and heart RATE)?
Term
it inhibits phospholambin (a SERCA inhibitor) so Ca++ stays around in the cell for a shorter time

this allows more rapid depolarization (Ca++ reuptake time is increased) as the refactory period is shortened

(norepi increases contraction rate and stroke volume)
Definition
how does adrenergic stimulation increase ventricular contraction?
Term
1) increases potassium flow
2) stimulate Gi which inhibits AC and decreases cAMP, PKA, funny current, and calcium flow)

->hyperpolarization and slower depolarization

note: vagal activity has a more minor affect on the ventricular muscle in decreasing contraction (but it does mess with the rate)
Definition
how does aceythcholine decrease HR?
Term
same as norepi (increase HR, contraction strength, and thus stroke volume)
Definition
what does epi do to the heart?
Term
1)can induce calcium release (increase stroke volume and contraction strength)
2)facilitates NE release from nerve terminals
3)POSITIVE INOTORPIC (contraction)
Definition
what does angiotensin 2 do to the heart?
Term
ionotropic effects -> contraction strength changes
Definition
what do thyroxin, insulin, glucagon, and corticosteroids do to the heart?
Term
preload
Definition
the greater the stress on the resting muscle (_______) the greater the contraction

Definition
describe the effects of hypokaelemia and hypocalcaemia on the heart's function
Term
high K+: depolarizes membrane potential, causes muscle weakness, blocks conduction, arrhythmias
high H+: competes with Ca++ for binding sites on troponin C -> weak contraction
