Q

Inspiration and S2 split?

A

negative intrathoracic pressure

Q

mitral stenosis?

A

increased left atrial presure

-during diastole

31
Q

aortic stenosis?

A

high ventricular pressure and low aortic pressure

  • during systole
  • bc blood can’t flow easily into aorta
32
Q

aortic insufficiency?

A

low aortic pressure

-during diastole

33
Q

dicrotic notch?

A

pressure wave with closure of aortic valve

34
Q

peak flow?

A

during ejection

35
Q

elastic recoil of aorta?

A

maintenance of pressure gradient

36
Q

pressure wave speed?

A

move faster than blood

37
Q

contributors to venous pulse?

A
  • retrograde action of heartbeat
  • respiratory cycle
  • contraction of skeletal muscles
38
Q

a wave?

A

RA contraction

39
Q

c wave?

A

RV pressure in early systole

-bulging of tricuspid valve into RA

40
Q

v wave?

A

RA filling

-tricuspid closed

41
Q

inspiration and jugular pulse?

A

decreased thoracic P

  • decreased JVP
  • increased VR
42
Q

standing?

A

venous pooling

-walking pumps blood and promotes VR decreasing venous pressure in foot

43
Q

bottom right?

A

mitral valve closes

44
Q

top right?

A

aortic valve opening

45
Q

top left?

A

aortic valve closing

46
Q

top right?

A

mitral valve opening

47
Q

net work performed by heart?

A

inside the loop

  • bottom - work done by blood on heart
  • top - work done by heary
48
Q

tension heat

A

greatest energy cost

  • ATP use during isovolumetric contraction
  • isometric - no “work” bc no movement
49
Q

tension heat = ?

A

k T delta(t)

k - energy conversion
T - ventricular wall tension (afterload)
delta(t) - time in systole

50
Q

with CAD?

A
decreased HR (more time in diastole)
reduce wall tension (decreased BP)
51
Q

ventricular wall stress?

A

pulling fibers apart

52
Q

wall stress = ?

A

wall stress ~ P x r / 2h

P = transmural pressure
r = radius

A

inotropy

  • change in force generation
  • independent of preload
  • depends on Ca2+**

Q

passive tension in cardiac muscle?

A

increases at shorter sarcomere length

-less distensible elements

59
Q

active tension in cardiac muscle?

A

increase 1.9 - 2.4

  • increased regulatory protein affinity to Ca2+ (troponin C)
  • stretch activated Ca2+ channels on sarcolemma

decreased velocity

67
Q

increased preload and velocity?

A

increased velocity

68
Q

increased afterload?

A

greater proportion of time in systole is isovolumetric contraction
-therefore, decreased SV and ejection fraction and increased ESV

69

  • independent of preload
  • depends on Ca2+ levels
70

A

change in MSFP
