Equation for loop calculation of SV
SV = EDV - ESV SV = EDV (point B) - ESV (point A)
26
Equation for loop calculation of EF
EF = SV / EDV [(point B - point A)/ point B]
27
Cycle 3 of Ventricular P-Vol Loop is called
Isovolumetric relaxation
28
Isovolumetric relaxation occurs at what cycle in the loop?
cycle 3 - point D to point A
29
Isovolumetric relaxation is the period between
aortic valve closing and mitral valve opening.
30
the period between aortic valve closing and mitral valve opening is known as:
Isovolumetric relaxation (D to A)
31
What happens at point D?
the ventricle relaxes
32
Where does the Ventricle relax on the loop? (what point)
D
33
When the ventricle relaxes, what is happening?
The Ventricular pressure decreases to less than aortic pressure. -Aortic valve closes.
34
Why is cycle 3 Isovolumetric? What's happening?
The aortic valve closes. | B/c all the valves close again, ventricular vol. is constant (isovolumetric)
35
Ventricular Filling is what cycle of the P-Vol loop?
cycle 4. (A to B)
36
Cycle 4 is called what?
Ventricular Filling (point A to B)
37
Ventricular Filling (cycle 4) is the period just after what:
mitral valve opening (point A)
38
What point does the Mitral valve open?
Point A
39
At point D the ventricle
relaxes
40
Once left ventricular pressure decreases to less than the left atrial pressure, what happens?
the Mitral (AV) valve opens and filling of the ventricle begins.
41
During Ventricular Filling (cycle 4), ventricular volume increases to about:
140 ml (end-diastolic vol)
42
What is occurring at Point B ?
end diastolic volume | ventricular volume increasing
43
20% of ventricular filling is a result of the
atrial kick
44
Atrial Kick occurs when?
at the end of cycle 4; just before point B
45
Increased Preload refers to an
increase in ventricular End diastolic VOLUME (filling) | -result of increased venous return
46
Frank-Startling relationship: | Increased preload =
increased stroke volume
47
Increased SV is reflected on the P-Vol loop by
increased WIDTH
48
Preload (ventricular) increases from:
- exercise - increased blood vol (pregnancy, over transfusion) - excitement (sympathetic)
49
Preload (ventricular) decreases from:
- venodilators (ntg) | - diuretics (furosemide)
50
**Preload = **
Pumps up the heart
51
"Pumps up the Heart"
Preload
52
Increased afterload refers to
an increase in aortic PRESSURE
53
an increase in aortic PRESSURE refers to
increased afterload
54
afterload is aka
diastolic arterial pressure
55
diastolic arterial pressure is aka
afterload
56
Afterload is proportional to
TPR (total peripheral resistance)
57
Factors that increase afterload
HTN | Aortic Stenosis
58
If the ventricle must eject blood against a higher pressure, what will decrease?
stroke volume
59
Stroke volume is reflected on the P-Vol loop as the
width
60
How would decreased SV change the P-Vol loop?
Decrease the width
61
Decreased SV results in an increased
end systolic volume
62
End systolic volume is the volume
left behind after systole
63
We use what to decrease afterload?
vasodilators (hydralazine)
64
Increased contractility develops when the ventricle has a greater tension than usual during systole. Causing an increase in: (two things)
SV and EF
65
Increased SV causes a decrease in
end systolic volume (ESV)
66
Contractility (and SV) increase with:
- catecholamines - increased intracellular Ca++ - Digitalis (Increased Intracellular Na+ resulting in Increased intracellular Ca++)
67
Contractility (and SV) decrease with:
- Beta 1 blockade - HF - acidosis - hypoxia/ hypercapnia
68
- catecholamines - increased intracellular Ca++ - Digitalis All do what to Contractility/SV?
Increase it
69
- Beta 1 blockade - HF - acidosis - hypoxia/ hypercapnia All do what to Contractility/SV?
Decrease it
70
*Visual* Explain what changes in the ventricular P-vol loop graphically with increases in: (A) Preload (B) Afterload (C) Contractility
A- preload; vol increases. loop expands to the right. B- afterload; Pressure increases. loop increases in height; left side of loop vol decreases. C- contractility; Vol increases to the left and a slight increase in pressure height
71
SV is affected by (3 points)
- contractility - afterload - preload **SV CAP**
72
Increased SV when Increased ___
Preload or Contractility
73
Increased SV when decreased ____
afterload
74
Decreased afterload does what to SV?
increases SV
75
Increased Contractility does what to SV?
Increases SV
76
Increased Preload does what to SV?
Increases SV
77
constancy of CO up to a pressure level of
160 mmHg
78
If pressure > 160mmHg; what happens to CO?
drops rapidly
79
Nerves that stimulate Heart
Vagus | Sympathetic nerves
80
Parasympathetic stimulation has a positive or negative effect on CO (curve)?
Negative lowers the curve - lowering the RA pressure
81
Sympathetic stimulation has a positive or negative effect on CO (curve)
Generally positive -graphed curve: zero, Normal, and a GREAT Improvement/Increase of CO with Maximum sympathetic stimulation
