Question
Answer
simple version Frank-Starling Laws   the heart pumps that which is returned to it. increasing venous return (r. vent) and (left)ventricular preload-->increase in stroke volume. important fole in blancing output of 2 ventricles  
🗑
essence of Frank-Starling graph with respect to sarcomere length   x axis = SV----------y axis = LVEDP. Basically, the amount of pressure exerted against ventricle will increase SV ---BUT ONLY TO A CERTAIN POINT----this will avail more actin/myosin binding sites, increase contractility  
🗑
What happens in Frank-Starling if there is too much ESV or ESP   there will be too much pressure, causing sarcomeres to be too far apart to cross-bridge and contract.  
🗑
What factors effect the Family of Frank-starling curves   afterload and inotrophy affect these curves. increased length-tension curve is hyperactive state. Lower length-tension curve is decreased contractility like HF  
🗑
four factors affecting cardiac performance   preload, afterload, HR, contractility  
🗑
preload is pressure generated in left ventricle at end of diastole. what does it depend upon   depends upon LVEDP (relates to LVEDV as well)  
🗑
afterload is the resistance by aorta for ejection. what do we use as its index?   aortic systemic pressure is estimated by bp  
🗑
heart rate is characteristic of cardiac tissue (SA/AV, conduction system). what influences HR   HR influenced by neuronal (SNS/PSNS) and hormonal factors  
🗑
contractility is characterist of cardiac tissue. what is it influenced by   neuronal (symp/psymp) and hormonal --- any changest that allow Ca++ into cell, such as epi/nor. ALL FACTORS THAT CAUSE AN INCREASE IN CONTRACTILITY WORK BY INCREASING INTRACELLULAR Ca++  
🗑
2 factors that affect preload   r. vent venous return ---l.vent ESV  
🗑
2 factors that affect afterload   aortic valve function --- aortic pressure  
🗑
3 factors that affect contractility   myocardial oxygen supply --- symp stimulation (epi/nor increase Ca intracell, inc contractility) ---EDV/EDP  
🗑
5 factors affecting Heart Rate   hormones---atrial receptors---natural reflexes---symp/psymp NS----CNS  
🗑
just for fun - define contractility and its synonym   inotrophy and contractility - the inherent capacity of myocardial contraction INDEPENDEND of changes in pre/afterload  
🗑
name 6 factors that affect the inotropic/contractile state   psymp---symp---catecholamines---HR---systolic failure---afterload  
🗑
positive inotropic agents affect contracility - they are   catecholamines --- TH ---isoproterenol  
🗑
what do chronotropic agents affect   they affect conduction/speed of contraction  
🗑
negative inotropic agents   ETOH---propanolol---procainamide---quinidine  
🗑
cardiac output   amount of blood pumped into aorta/min. CO=SVxHR  
🗑
ejection fraction   amount actually ejected, usually 60-75%  
🗑
what are the factors regulating blood flow   blood pressure---CO----peripheral resistance  
🗑
factors effecting blood pressure/HTN   fluid volume & venous constriction ---both of which affect preload  
🗑
factors affecting CO   contractility as it is affected by EDV, SNS & O2 demands  
🗑
factors affecting peripheral resistance PR   vessel diameter, blood viscosity (and vessel length)  
🗑
HTN definition   consisent elevation of systemic arterial bp  
🗑
primary/secondary HTN   primariy (most)---secondary is altered hemodynamics bwo of disease like atherosclerosis  
🗑
isolated systolic HTN   where systolic # is HIGH and diastolic # is LOW---manifestation of increased CO and/or rigid aorta  
🗑
primary HTN risk factors   genetics/env/lifestyle---altered Na/Ca/neurogenic mechanisms----high dietary Na----smoking/nicotine is vasoCON  
🗑
chronic HTN definition   prolonged vasocon/inc bp thickens arteries---arterial sm musc hypertrophy/hyperplasia---injury stim inflamm mediators---contributes to atherosclerosis  
🗑
take home message chronic HTN   sustained pressure causes vascular damage, non-compliance and atherosclerosis ---EVEN IN KIDS.  
🗑
normal bp systolic   <120  
🗑
normal bp diastolic   <80  
🗑
preHTN bp systolic   123-130  
🗑
preHTN bp diastolic   80-90  
🗑
stage 1 HTN systolic   140-160  
🗑
stage 1 HTN diastolic   90-100  
🗑
stage 2 HTN systolic   >160  
🗑
stage 2 HTN diastolic   >100  
🗑
how would we classify a bp = 170/78   isolated systolic HTN  
🗑
orthostatic HTN - normal compensation   gravitational changes compensated by reflex arteriolar constriction ---inc HR---venous valve/sk milking-----------------------------also volume shifts initiate baroceptor reflex-->SNS-->vasocon/inc HR  
🗑
MOA of orthostatic HTN   uncompensated state-->dec cerebral perfusion-->dizz/vison loss/syncope(fainting)  
🗑
acute orthostatic HNT contributing factors (most common in elderly, prolonged immobility)   drug rxns---starvation---exhaustion---hypovolemic conditions---altered blood chemisty  
🗑
Heart failure is classified as left HF (CHF) and right side HF. what are 2 sub-classes of LHF/CHF   diastolic LHF/CHF,systolic LHF/CHF  
🗑
MOA LHF/CHF-diastolic   chronic HTN renders L. vent non-compliant---pressure increases and is reflected to L. atrium---reflects back into pulm circ---can ALSO be reflected to right side of heart ---to cause Right-side HF  
🗑
is LEDV or contractility affected in LHF/CHF-diastolic HF   no - No - NO! has to do with pressures and non-compliance--> . nothing to do with contractility  
🗑
s/s of diastolic-LHF/CHF   dyspnea with exertion, S4 gallop (sound of atrial filling KNOCKING against non-compliant l.ventricle wall  
🗑
so . . .in diastolic LHF/CHF, bottom line   pulmonary congestion DESPITE normal SV/CO  
🗑
in what type of HF does heart start to fail as a pump   in SYSTOLIC CHF/LHF . . .heart cannot generate sufficient CO to perfuse tissues  
🗑
in systolic-LHF/CHF how is contractility affected (primary MOA)   an increased preload/LVEDV surpasses Frank-Starling threshold---dec. contractility---dec ejection fraction  
🗑
secondary MOA systolic LHF/CHF   the increased preload---underperfusion detected by kidney---RAAS activated to vasoCON---which increases periph resistance---INCREASES AFTER LOAD---which also DECREASES contractility.  
🗑
so, in short, do we have a viscious cycle with systolic-LHF/CHF   yes, Yes, YES it is a visous cycle that is also influenced by inflam abns/neurohormonal factors such as---catacholamines/RAAS/ANP-BNP in response to atrial stretching  
🗑
how does the body compensate for systolic-LHF   we get hypertrophy and dilation of the myocardium  
🗑
what causes systolic LHF   any condition that affects contractility. For example ---RF, hypervolemia affect preload which indicrectly affects contractility. ----directly affecting contractility is----myocardial fx, ischemic dx, cardiomyopathy, vascular dx, dysryth  
🗑
short version of what causes systolic LHF   MI---myocarditis---cardiomyopathies (deteriorating myocardium)  
🗑
RHF causes   hypoxic pulmonary disease (cor pulmonale)---diastolic-LHF reflecting to right side  
🗑
so in RHF we have a pulmonary dx that creates vasuclar resistance and hypoxia . . .then what   heart cant pump against increased pulmonary pressure, so it fails. thiss increased ventricular/atrial pressure is reflected back into systemic venous circulation and results in peripheral edeman  
🗑
what causes RHF again   severe CHF---lung disiase---R. ventricular contracility disorders  
🗑
high output HF   where the body can deliver oxygenated blood (normal Bvolume, contractility), but the body can't use the 02  
🗑
why can't the body use the O2 in high output HF   there is generally a disease state that requires EXCESS 02 beyond what the heart can deliver  
🗑
what are examples of diseases involved with high output cardiac failure   anemia---septicemia---hyperthyroidism---Beriberi/thiamine deficiency. all these states result in increased cellular metabolism that requires extra 02  
🗑
