Phospholamban
- Inhibits the affinity of SR Ca ATPase for Ca
- phosphorylation relieves inhibition
SERCA
sacroplasmic reticulum Ca ATPas
Gs
- GDP –> GTP
- adenylate cyclase converts ATP –> cAMP
- PKA –> Ca release
- receptors: beta 1, 2, D1, V2
Gi
- reduce cAMP formation
- receptors = alpha 2
Flow =
change in pressure / resistance
Pm =
mean circulatory pressure (flow = 0)
Cerebral vasodilators
- CO2
- NO
- prostacyclin
- ET-1
- increased metabolism
CVP waveform - a wave
atrial contraction, = RVEDP
CVP waveform - c wave
early systole - TV elevates into the RA
CVP waveform - x descent
atrial relaxation
CVP waveform - v wave
filling of RA in late systole
CVP waveform - y descent
TV opens and RV passively fills
CVP waveform - cannon a-waves
AV discordance
CVP waveform - fused C-V waves
TR
Normal CI
3.3-6 L/min/m2
Fick Equation
CO = VO2/(CaO2 - CvO2)
Thermodilution - AUC
inversely proportional to CO
Shunt fraction
Qs/Qt = (CpvO2 - CaO2)/(CpvO2 - CvO2)
Normal shunt fraction
3-7%
O2 extraction ratio (ERO2)
avDO2/CaO2 (normal = 25%)
SVR =
(MAP - CVP)/CO
PVR =
(MPAP - PCWP)/CO
Qp/Qs =
(SaO2 - SvO2) / (PpvO2 - SpaO2)
alpha-1 receptor
Gq –> increased IP3, 1,2-DG and Ca
