Q

What is the MOA of B1 blockers and Atropines

A

beta blockers like atenolol lower heart rate and contractility.

Atropine block M2 muscarinic Ach receptors heart rate increases

Q

1.In the relaxed state (low Ca2+) binding of
_____ to _____ is blocked- as myosin binding
sites on actin are covered by ______

  1. When AP leads to increased Ca2+ , Ca2+
    binds to _____ causing tropomyosin to
    move & resulting in exposure of ______
    binding sites to _____
  2. Myosin binds to _____, followed by
    ratcheting action of myosin head group
    which shortens sarcomere as actin & myosin
    slide past each other
  3. ____ and _____ are released
  4. Binding of ATP to myosin head group
    causes detachment of actin & myosin
A

actin to myosin
tropomyosin

troponin
myosin
actin

ADP and Pi

Q

Unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac sarcomeres have an optimum length that is
_____ than their resting length so increasing the _____ brings the
sarcomeres closer to optimum length

A

Greater

VEDV

17
Q

What is Starlings law of the heart?

A

•The force of contraction depends on initial fibre length

18
Q

measure of force of contraction: _________

• measure of initial fibre length: ____________

A

CO SV EF

LVEDV LVEDP

19
Q

What is a positive inotropic agents role on calcium

A

Beta agonists cause myocytes contract faster and more strongly

20
Q

What are inotropic agents

A

Beta 1 agonist SNS stimulation

Digitalis - inhibit Na K pump increasing Calcium intracellular

21
Q

What can diminish the amount of calcium intracellular ie negative inotropic agents

A

hypoxia ischemia, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers

22
Q

What is afterload

A

Force opposing cardiac muscle shortening
& ejection of blood during ventricular contraction

ventricular wall & arterial
impedance

23
Q

What is Ficks principle

A

amount of 02 going into lungs and alveoli must equal that in the pulmonary veins

24
Q

•Larger than normal VEDV (“enlarged” hearts) seen in patients
with cardiomyopathy can compensate somewhat in the early
stages for the reduced contractility that occurs in this condition
because stretching of the ventricular muscle cells:

A

Decreases influx of calcium during ventricular repolarisation

  • B. Enhances reuptake of calcium by sarcoplasmic reticulum
  • C. Decreases influx of calcium during ventricular depolarisation
  • D. Changes the overlap of thick and thin filaments
  • E. Improves conduction among muscle cells
