Term
Dihydropyradine DHP
Definition
Recptor on the t-tubule, made of 4 L-type Ca++ channels, that is the voltage sensor. Located in skeletal muscle.
Term
Ryanodine RYR
Definition
Ca++ release channel of the SR. It is triggered by the DHP receptor. Located in skeletal muscle and in cardiac muscle.
Term
CIRC--> Ca++ induced Ca++ release
Definition
AP travels down the t-tubule, they activate L-type Ca++ channels resulting in an inward flux of Ca++. This inward Ca++ triggers a BIG release of Ca++ from the SR, which contracts the cardiac muscle.
Term

1. SERCA

2. Na-Ca exchanger

3. Sarcolemma ATPase

4. Ca uptake into mitochondria

Definition
4 mechanisms of removing Ca++ from the sarcoplasm
Term

1. Diastole

2. Positive

3. There are 3 Na+ in for every Ca++ out.

Definition
During ______ we want to get the Ca++ out of the cell. Even though Ca++ is going out, the net current is ______. This is because___________.
Term

1. Diastole

2. Repolarization

Definition
During ______ we want to get the Ca++ out of the cell. This is called __________.
Term
Frank-Starling Mechanism
Definition
This is an intrinsic property of the myocardium, independent of innervation.
Term

1. Preload

2. SV

Definition

EDV- end diastolic volume = ________

When this is EDV, the _____ is greater.

Term
Systole
Definition
The active length-tension curve is _______
Term
Diastole
Definition
The passive-length tension curve is _____.
Term

1. tension generation.

2. SV

Definition
The Franks-Starling law of the heart says that preload is directly related to _________ and ________.
Term
No.
Definition
Does the Frank-Starling mechanism depend on innervation?
Term
No
Definition
Does it take higher pressure to open the aortic valve when there is increase preload?
Term
Yes
Definition
Is there an increase in peak systolic BP with increased preload?
Term
No
Definition
Does the contractility change when the preload is higher?
Term
No
Definition
Does the pressure at which the aortic valve shuts change with higher preload?
Term
Yes
Definition
Does the SV increase with higher preload?
Term

1. Preload

2. Afterload

3. Contractility

Definition
What 3 things determine SV?
Term
BP
Definition
Afterload is =
Term

1. L-type Ca++ channels, increase the contractility by increasing Ca++ in the cell

2. RyR, increases the contractility by increasing Ca++ in cell

3. Phospholamban, increases HR by speed relaxation

4. Tn I, increases HR by speed relaxation

 

* These are all phosphorylated

Definition
There are 4 targets for Beta-receptor activation that lead to excitation contraction coupling. What are those targets? and how do they work?
Term
NEpi and/or Epi bind to Beta receptors--> Gprotein mediated activation of adenylate cyclase--> increase in cAMP-->PKA will phosphorylate.
Definition
What is the chain rxn that causes the phosphorylation of the L-type Ca++,  RyR, Phospholamban, TnI?
Term
affecting HR
Definition
Chronotropic
Term
Affecting contractility
Definition
Inotropic
Term
Increase HR so leave Ca++ so get higher contractility, but will drop off
Definition
Bowditch staircase effect
Term
It decreases the SERCA2 pump, and doesn't pump Ca++ back into the SR as fast.
Definition
What does unphosphorylated PLB do?
Term
You get augmented contractility on the beat after that. This is due to all the Ca++ left in the cell.
Definition
Normal contraction followed by a premature contraction, then ________.
Term

1. Beta 1 agonist- doubutamine

2.  Cardiac glycosides- digitalis, digoxin

Definition
2 drugs with positive inotropic effect
Term
They block the Na-K pumps and increase the Na inside the cell. This inhibits the Na+-Ca++ exchanger, so the Ca cannot be pumped out of the cell. Contractility is increased.
Definition
How do cardiac glycosides work?
Term

1. Beta blockers

2.  Verapamil, L-type Ca++ channel blocker

Definition
2 drugs with negative inotropic effects
Term

SV/EDV

 

 

Contractility

Definition

Ejection fraction =

 

AND

 

It is a measure of ______

Term

1. End systolic pressure-volume ratio

2. Rate of change of ventricular pressure during systole

3. Ejection fraction

Definition
3 ways to quantify contractility
Term

the BP in the aorta

 

increase the work of the LV

Definition

Afterload =

If this is increased, you will _________.

Term
the amount of afterload
Definition
Demand for O2 in the heart goes up with ________.
Term
Wall thickness.
Definition
Increase of pressure is and increase in wall thickness or dialation?
Term

1. Pregnancy

2. Athlete

3. Early mitral or aortic regurg.

 

Eccentric hypertrophy

Definition

3 reasons that you would get an increase in volume

 

What is this called?

Term

1. aortic stenosis

2. chronic HTN

3. aortic coartication

 

Concentric hypertrophy

Definition

3 reasons you'd get an increase in pressure

 

What is this called?

Term

Dialated cardiomyopathy

 and 

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Definition
Eccentric and concentric hypertrophy can lead to this ______ and this ______, respectively.
