cardiac output
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cardiac output | how much blood to body per minute |
| stroke volume formula | EDV-ESV mL/b |
| effects of preload on stroke volume | increase preload= increase SV, decrease preload= decrease SV |
| effects of contractility on SV | increase contractility- increase SV, decrease contractility= decrease SV |
| effects of afterload on SV | increase afterload= decrease SV, decrease afterload= increase SV |
| what increases contractility | Positive ionotropic factors (epinephrine) |
| what decreases contractility | negative ionotropic factors (hypoxia) |
| SV is controlled by | preload, contractility, afterload |
| preload | the "stretch". EDV |
| contractility | force of contraction |
| afterload | the tension needed to overcome to pump blood effectively |
| causes of lowered heart rate | negative chronotropic factors (hypothermia, PNS) |
| causes of raised heartrate | positive chronotropic factors (caffeine, epinephrine) |
| bradycardia | HR lower than 60bpm |
| tachycardia | HR higher than 100bpm |
| cardiac output formula | SV X HR mL/m |
| Heart rate | cardiac cycles per minute (bpm) |
| Stroke volume | how much blood to body per cardiac cycle |
