25
why do exercising muscles dilate when there is sympathetic stimluation throughout the whole body?
they release their local dilators, which overcome the effect of sympathetic stimulation
26
skeletal muscles - sympathetic muscles do what to them
constrict
27
if exercising muscles are working, what will happen
local dilators will overcome the sympathetic stimulation
28
the only muscles dilated in exercise are
the ones that are working
29
the more muscles you have working the less
constriction you have of blood vessels
30
what does venous return have to do when you have more exercising muscles
has to increase
31
skeletal muscles have what receptors
alpha and beta
32
skeletal muscles have alpha and beta receptors, so what is effect of sympathetic stimulation
almost negilible b/c they will counteract each other
33
right and left coronary arteries exit
at root of aorta
34
above valve of aorta
coronary arteries come off of
35
look at coronary arteries on pg 9
pg 9
36
noneo fthe heart gets blood from
blood in the chamber
37
there is oxygenated blood in left chamber, will it go to heart
no
38
where does heart get oxygenated blood
the coronary system
39
when your heart beats faster it needs
more blood
40
blood flow through the heart is
phasic
41
during systole, blood flow in heart
decreases
42
during diastole, blood flow in heart
increases
43
when heart is contracting,why does blood flow decrease
it is contracting so pressure is high
44
right side of heart will not see the kind of phasic change on left side of heart, why
because left side of heart is under mich higher pressure
45
what is major driving force of blood flow through heart
pressure during diastole
46
anything that decreases diastolic blood pressure will do what to coronary blood flow
decrease coronary blood flow
47
what condition might decrease coronary blood flow
aortic regurgitation | anything that decreases diastole
48
there is still some coronary blood flow through systole, but if you have aortic stenosis, what happens to coronary blood flow
might go to zero b/c the pressure would be higher ( i think?)
49
when heart contracts it contracts from ____ to ___
inside out
50
endocardial areas in heart have to have
extra vessels to bring blood back to heart
51
control of coronary blood flow is almost the same as
skeletal muscle
52
what is driving force for coronary blood flow
local metabolism
53
adenosine at level of heart is
most important vasodilator - increases blood flow to heart
54
does nervous control to heart affect blood vessels themselves
no
55
why does nervous system change bloodf low to heart
b/c they increase metabolism - they have indirect effect
56
what kind of effect does nervous system have on blood flow to heart
indirect
57
most common cause of death in western culture
ischemic heart disease
58
ischemia means
decrease in blood flow
59
acute coronary occlusion can lead to
MI
60
if areas of heart are ischemic or hypoxic, the resting membrane potential of cells or way AP
it changes
61
anythign that changes electircal activity of local area of heart can lead to things like
V fib
62
heart that is hypertrophying, and pt has ischemic heart disease, what is happening
making muscle bigger and decreasing blood flow to it which weakens heart
63
number one cause of ixchemic heart disease is
Atherosclerosis
64
Atherosclerosis what is it
lots of cholesterol deposit, get foam cells b/c of macrophages, causes fibrous plaque that gets calcified, ad it can grow and either protrude into vessel lumen and block blood flow or
65
in Atherosclerosis what is ultimate thign that happens
vesel narrows
66
when pt has Atherosclerosis what happens if body wants to vasodilate
not going to happen, it is rigid
67
Atherosclerosis plaque can cause local blood clot called
thrombus
68
thrombus does what
occludes artery
69
if thrombus breaks off it can cause
coronary embolus
70
in individuals with blockage or coronary artery thrombus or embolus, the degree of what will determine damage
extent of collateral circulation
71
the more collateral circulation you have, then what happens with MI
there will be less damage the more collateral circulation you have
72
Myocardial infarction is:
area of muscle that has zero or so little flow it cannot sustain function
73
where do MI usually happen
subendocardial region
74
what happens in subendocardial infarction
High oxygen consumption | Decrease blood flow due to muscle compression
75
you can decrease blood flow to areas of heart and the cells will remain alive, why?
pg 19
76
what are 4 causes of death after acute coronary occlusion
1. Decreased cardiac output 2. Damming of blood in the pulmonary blood vessels and then death resulting from pulmonary edema 3. Fibrillation of the heart 4. Rupture of the heart
77
what is systolic stretch
if ventricular area of heart is dmaged, it can't contract, so when left ventricle contracts, it is pushed out int he systolic stretch area, b/c that area can't contract
78
what does systolic stretch do to blood ejection
decreases, b/c it is going to the systolic stretch area
79
cardiac shock, what is it
Cardiogenic shock is a condition in which your heart suddenly can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. The condition is most often caused by a severe heart attack.
80
when does cardiac shock usually occur
>40% LV infarction
81
strong sympathetic stimulation can cause
fribrillation
82
rupture of infarcted area
over time heart gets replaced with fribrous tissue and can rupture
83
dead heart cells are not
replaced by new heart cells
84
heart cells do not
proliferate
85
stages of recovery from acute myocardial infarction
replacement of dead muscle by scar tissue | hypertrophy of undamaged areas
86
why is rest important after MI
don't want to increase workload on heart even though you may have good collateral circulationin heart, most times the collateral circulation can't dilate don't want coronary steal syndrome
87
if you increase workload on heart, what happens
blood gets diverted away from collaterol circulation and you get coronary steal syndrome
88
what is coronary steal syndrome
blood is stolen from one area of heart to another
89
over time what happens after MI
reduced cardiac reserve
90
what does reduced cardiac reserve mean
the cardiac output curve is decreased, because of the damaged tissue
91
a person after MI, what happens to cardiac output at rest and exercise
at rest their CO might be fine, but say ,in exercise, their CO can't be increased enough
92
cardiac shock is likely to cause
death
93
function of heart after MI, it depends on
how much damage was caused
94
what will you see on ventricular function curve after MI
rightward shifts
95
compared to normal heart, what happens to CO in a heart after MI
there will always be decrease
96
what is angina pectoris
cardiac pain
97
when coronary blood flow can't keep up with heart activity you can feel
pain
98
heart pain is caled
angina
99
heart pain is due to release of
acidic substances - lactic acid, histamin, kinins (like bradykinin)
100
why do you feel heart pain due to acidic substances
the acidic substances build up and go to pain receptors and cause pain
101
treatment for angina
vasodilator drugs
102
nitroglycerin and other nitrate drugs release
NO
103
NO stands for
nitric oxide
104
nitroglycerin is a
vasodilator
105
ACE inihbitors are
vasodilators
106
AII receptor blockers are
vasodilators
107
calcium channel blockers are
vasodilators
108
beta blockers are
vasodilators
109
ranolazine, how does it work
Inhibits inward sodium current in heart muscle Decreases wall tension and oxygen requirements Inhibits IKr and causes slight QT prolongation
110
do the vasodilator drugs for angina cure the pain?
no - they are just symptomatic
111
how do you fix coronary occlusion? what are the 2surgical treatments for coronary artery disease
CABG | angioplasty
112
what does CABG stand for
coronary artery bypass graft
113
how does sCABG work
take vein and make it into artery
114
how does angioplasty work
string in catheter with balloon and stent and inflate the balloon into open up the artery and put stent into artery to keep it open and then remove the balloon and leave the stent in
