| Myocardial action potentials | Contractile Cells: Phase 4: -resting potential (-90mV) Phase 0: depolarization voltage-gated Na+ channels open and Na+ enters (channels close at +20mV) Phase 1: initial repolarization K+ begins to leave via K+ channels |
| Myocardial action potentials (cont'd) | Phase 2: plateau slow voltage-gated Ca++ channels finally open after initial depolarization; some “fast” K+ will shut Phase 3: rapid repolarization slow voltage-gated K+ channels are open; resting potential is reestablished |

| The pacemaker potential starts at _____ and slowly moves towards threshold | -60mV |
| Pacemaker potentials | At -60mV, I-f channels are open Permeable to both Na+ and K+ Na+ influx > K+ efflux, which causes a gradual depolarization As the membrane potential becomes more positive, If channels shut, and Ca++ channels open |

| Decrease parasympathetic, increase sympathetic (catechoamines acting on B1 adrenergic receptors) | To speed up rate of heart |
| Increase parasympathetic pathway, ACh acting on muscarinic receptors | To slow the heart |
| Catecholamines (NE/EPI), bind to B1 adrenergic receptors (w/ a cAMP second messenger), increases ion flow through both Ca++ and I-f channels, speeds up the PP | Sympathetic stimulation |

| AP generated in the ______(right atrium) | Sinoatrial (SA) node |
| Wave of depolarization spreads over the internodal pathway and to the _______(found at the bottom of the right atrium) | atrioventricular (AV) node |
| Depolarization moves into the ventricles to the _______ via the Av bundle and left//right bundle branches | Purkinje fibers |
| What is the purpose of this internodal conducting system? | Allows for rapid transduction of the signal |
| ***The SA node will also spread the action potential to the adjacent contractile cells( they will depolarization and contract, but transduction is slower) | |
| Why is it necessary to direct the signal through the AV node and not the atria? | If the signal passed from the atria directly to the ventricles, the top of the ventricles would contract first This would prevent the blood from being pushed out the tops of the ventricles and into the arteries |
| The internodal system spreads the signal to the | apex ***the bottom of the ventricles to contract first |
| Transmission through the AV node is (slower/faster) than the rest of the internodal system--- this allows for the atria to complete contraction before ventricular contraction | slower |
| T or F upstream pacemakers set the rate | T |
| *** SA node--> AV node--> AV bundle--> Bundle branches | |
| Displays the hearts electrical activity | Electrocardiogram (ECG) |

| Ventricular depolarization | QRS complex |
| ventricular repolarization | T wave |
| *** Mechanical contraction is slightly logging behind the electrical conduction | |
| Atrial contraction | PQ segment |
| Ventricular contraction | ST segment |
| ST segment depression can indicate | myocardial ischemia |
| What is happening during the ST segment of a normal ECG | Ventricular contraction |
| Phase 1: The heart is at rest; Atrial and ventricular diastole Atria fill with blood AV valves open and blood will fill into the ventricles (gravity) | Cardiac cycle |
| Phase 2: Atrial systole Final 20% of ventricular filling is accomplished | Cardiac cycle |
| Phase 3: Early ventricular contraction Depolarization wave moves down the internodal conducting system towards apex Ventricles contract from the bottom | cardiac cycle phase 3 cont'd: AV valves shut - associated with the first heart sound (S1 – “lub”) Semilunar valves are also shut at this time, and therefore blood stays in the ventricle: known as isovolumic contraction |
| Phase 4: Ventricular ejection Ventricles continue to contract, forcing open the semilunar valves Blood is forced out of the ventricles and into the arteries | cardiac cycle |
| Phase 5: Ventricular relaxation Ventricular pressure decreases below that of arterial pressure The resulting backflow fills the “cups” of the semilunar valves (remember their structure) | cardiac cycle phase 5 cont'd: This will cause the semilunar valves to shut Second heart sound – S2 “dub” Isovolumic relaxation |
| X-axis | volume |
| Y-axis | Pressure |
| Blood flows from areas of high to low pressure T or F | T |
| The starting point is A Ventricle is relaxed Holding the least amount of blood that it will hold during the cycle | Looking at pressure and volume changes in depth... cont'd: As ventricles fill, the volume increases without the pressure increasing (expansion) (A→B) at this point - End Diastolic Volume (EDV) ≈135mL |
| Point B: Ventricle contracts with both mitral and aortic valve shut – therefore pressure increases as the volume remains constant (B→C) Isolvolumic Contraction | Looking at pressure and volume changes in depth |
| Point C: Ventricular pressure will exceed aortic pressure, aortic valves open Pressure continues to rise Volume in the ventricle decreases as blood is ejected into the aorta (C→D). | Looking at pressure and volume changes in depth |
| Point D: – ventricular contraction is complete; the amount of blood remaining in the ventricle at this point is referred to End Systolic Volume (ESV) ≈65mL | Looking at pressure and volume changes in depth |
| The ventricle relaxes (D→A); the aortic valve is shut, and therefore volume does not change Isovolumic relaxation | Looking at pressure and volume changes in depth |

| Aortic pressure is greater than ventricular pressure during isovolumic contraction T or F | T |
| The centricles are empty at the end of the cardiac cycle T or F | F end systolic volume |
| Amount of blood pumped by one ventricle during a contraction | Stroke volume= EDV-ESV |
| EDV= | 135mL |
| ESV= | 65mL |
| What would happen during exercise? | 100mL-- due to increase in EDV increasing preload in heart |
| SV is directly related to the force of contraction affected by | length of muscle fiber prior to contraction (this is dependent on the amount of blood in the ventricle (EDV)) Contractility- intrinsic ability for the cardiac muscle to contract at any given length |
| Standard measure of cardiac performance.. blood volume pumped by one ventricle in a given period of time | cardiac output= HR x SV |
| What happens if cardiac output decreases in one ventricle? | it will result in a pooling of blood in the circulation behind the weaker side of the heart |
| After running on a treadmill for 15min, our subject’s HR is 155 BPMs. If LV EDV was determined to be 150mL, and ESV was 45mL, what is the CO for our subject? | 16.3L/min |
| If the stroke volume of the left ventricle is 250mL/beat and the stroke volume of the right ventricle is 251mL/beat, what happens to the blood distribution between the systemic and pulmonary circulation after 10 heart beats?? | The pulmonary circulation will have gained 10mL of blood while the systemic circulation will have lost 10mL… |
| ***Force proportional to sarcomere length-- the longer (optimum), the more force created | length-tension relationship |
| The ventricle wall stretches as it fills with more blood, which is called ________, the stronger the force of contraction | preload |
| stroke volume is proportional to EDV | Frank-Starling law |
| EDV is a good indicator of the amount of | preload/stretch |
| blood returning from systemic or pulmonary veins will ultimately end up in our ventricles..... therefore the EDV is determined by the | venous return(flow of blood back into heart) |
| Three factors affecting venous return | venous contraction/compression, abdominal and thoracic pressure changes (due to breathing), sympathetic nervous innervation |
| The veins are squeezed by our contracting skeletal muscles, "skeletal muscle pump this pushes the blood forward. EDV increases, and therefore, so will stroke volume (Frank-Starling law) | venous contraction/compression EX: compression socks |

| afterload is determined by | arterial blood pressure and EDV |
| afterload is associated with many cardiovascular pathologies, such as | loss of aortic compliance(stretchability), systemic hypertension(increase in blood pressure), may result in left ventricular hypertrophy(enlargement of an organ) (LVH)-- loses elastance |
