39
What is an ECG? -what do?
=electrocardiogram -records electrical changes during heart activity
40
What does an ECG look like? -name the parts -what does each part indicate?
-p-wave = atrial depolarization -QRS complex = ventricular depolarization -t-wave = ventricular repolarization (image in notes)
41
What can be identified in the S-T segment?
myocardial ischemia (blockage of coronary artery)
42
What can be identified in the Q-T interval?
ventricular arrhythmia (twitch instead of pump)
43
How many standard limb leads are there? -what does the diagram look like?
12 -in notes
44
What does systole indicate?
action of pumping out (contracting)
45
What does a diastole indicate?
action of filling in (relax)
46
What comes first the systole or diastole?
atrial systole then diastole, ventricular systole then diastole
47
What are the steps during ventricular diastole: mid to late diastole? (7 steps)
-pressure atria > pressure ventricle -AV valve open, SL valve closed -80% ventricular filling, AV start close -P wave = atrial systole -atrial pressure increase -20% of blood enters the ventricles (EDV) -atrial diastole
48

0.1 sec
59
How long is each ventricular systole?
0.3 sec
60
How long is the quiescent period?
0.4 sec
61
State the 2 driving forces of the cardiac cycle.
-blood flow controlled by pressure changes -blood flow from high to low pressure through any openings
62
What is it called when the resting heart rate is over 100bpm?
tachycardia
63
What is it called when the resting heart rate is under 60bpm?
bradycardia
64
What is the first heart sound?
closure of AV valves = start ventricular systole
65
What is the second heart sound?
closure of SL valves = end ventricular systole
66
What are 3 reasons for heart murmurs + sound?
-valve obstruction -> high pitch -valve insufficiency -> sound when not supposed to -pulmonary valve stenosis -> turbulent and noisy
67
What is the equation for cardiac output?
CO = SV(EDV-ESV) x HR CO - cardiac output SV - stroke volume EDV - end diastolic volume ESV - end systolic volume HR - heart rate
68
What is cardiac output meaning?
amount of blood pumped from left ventricle into aorta per minute
69
What is the average CO for a healthy male?
5L/min
70
How does CO change? -fit person -well-trained marathon runner
-4-5 times higher -7 times higher
71
What is the cardiac reserve?
-the difference between at rest and when really pushed
72
What are the 4 ways heart rate is determined?
-autonomic fibres (symp=NE & para=Ach) -circulating hormones (Epinephrine) -plasma electrolytes (Ca2+/Na+ & K+/H+) -body temp (hot & cold) (increase & decrease)
73
What are the resting conditions of the heart rate?
-parasympathetic NS is dominant
74
Why does tachycardia lead to reduced CO?
-not adequate filling = EDV goes down
75
What is the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart?
-preload (heart will pump whatever volume of blood it receives) -afterload (pressure ventricles must overcome to force open valves and eject blood)
76
What are the preload details?
-wide range -EDV proportional to SV -ventricles beat-to-beat independent by FS mechanism -ventricles pump same amount over time
77
What are the afterload details?
-healthy = 80mm in aorta, 10mm pulmonary trunk -hypertension = increased ESV and SV because hard to push out
78
State 2 types of extrinsic influences on stroke volume.
1. contractability 2. Ca2+ influx I. sympathetic stimulation II. drugs (digoxin) III. parasympathetic NS
79
How to increase stroke volume?
=increase EDV -increase venous return (exercise & decrease HR) =decrease ESV -increase contractibility (epinephrine, thyroxine, Ca2+)
80
How to increase heart rate?
=increase sympathetic =decrease parasympathetic -exercise, fright, anxiety
