Describe the baroreceptor reflex
1st- carotid sinus and aortic arch sense increase arterial pressure

2nd- the receptors activate affect impulses to the vasomotor center in the medulla

3rd- the vasomotor center sends 2 signals via solitary tract fibers: 1. decreases sympathetic input to the heart and arterioles to vasodilate 2.signal to vagus to increase parasympathetic output to slow heart down

so if give drug to produces increase bp then produce reflexive bradycardia and vice versa, if give drug that causes hypotension produce reflexive tachycardia
what is the initiating stimulus for the baroreceptor reflex
change in blood pressure
where are the receptor located that sense the increase in blood pressure
carotid sinus at the bifurcation and aortic arch
what events would occur in an elderly pt who suddenly stood up and experienced orthostatic hypotension
1st decrease in stretch receptor in the aortic arch and carotid sinus are detected

2nd decrease in afferent impulse to the vasomotor center in the medulla

3rd. the vasomotor center sends out 2 signals 1. increase in sympathetic stimulation to the heart and pump harder and for arterioles to constrict 2. decrease in parasympathetic stimulation

4th increase in heart rate and cardiac output
how do we calculate mean blood pressure
MAP = DP +.33 ( SP-DP)

MAP (mean arterial pressure)
SP- systolic pressure
DP- diastolic pressure
SD-DP= pulse pressure

MAP= CO X SVR

CO cardiac output
SVR systemic vascular resistance
An increase in vascular tone is caused by stimulation of which receptors?
alpha 1
How does alpha-1 stimulation most directly influence the BP response?
Causes increase in diastolic BP
An increase in systolic pressure and pulse pressure is caused by stimulation of which receptors? and results in what effect
beta 1

1. increase in contractile force

2. increase in stroke volume

3. increase in cardiac output
Stimulation of which receptor
causes bradycardia in
response to NE ?
Reflex vagal stimulation of muscarinic (M2) receptors on the SA node causes bradycardia in response to the increase in mean BP caused by NE
Epinephrine stimulates which receptors? How does stimulation of each receptor influence BP
alpha 1- increase diastolic pressure

alpha 2- none

beta 1- increases systolic

beta 2- vasodilator, increases pulse pressure which will decreases systolic bp
Phenylephrine stimulates what type of receptors
alpha 1
How would bradycardia alter diastolic BP?
Bradycardia will increase the “runoff” time during diastole. This will allow diastolic BP to drop lower than it would at a higher HR, but will also allow increased ventricular filling time
How will increased ventricular filling time (during bradycardia) alter systolic BP?
Increased filling time may increase systolic pressure by stretching the heart muscle and increasing the inotropy (Frank-Starling Mechanism).
The blood pressure effects of epinephrine are typically dose dependent. what are the effects of small doses vs large doses of epinephrine
small doses- exhibit more beta effect (isoproterenol)

large doses- exhibit more alpha effect (norepinephrine-like)
t/f a 15 minute infusion of norepinephrine induces a reflex tachycardia
false- reflex bradycardia
A 15 minute infusion of norepinephrine would have what immediate effect on the systolic and diastolic pressure
increase both pressures systolic and diastolic
what is the effect of norepinephrine on the peripheral resistance after a 15 minute infusion of norepinephrine
NE contricts all blood vessels due to alpha1 ( but since doesn't have beta 2 effect) all blood vessels constricted which causes an increase in peripheral resistance
what is the effect of low dose epinephrine on the chronotropy and inotropy after a 15 minute infusion
at low doses Epi has beta effect

Increase Chronotropy- heart rate

increase inotropy- contraction of heart-contractility

tachycardia, decreased diastolic BP (bc Beta 2), increased pulse pressure
what is the effect of high dose epinephrine on the chronotropy and inotropy after a 15 minute infusion
at high doses Epi has alpha effect

increased mean BP causing reflex bradycardia
Isoproterenol stimulates which receptors?

So what it the effects on Cardiovascular of i.v. Infusion of Isoproterenol
beta more than alpha

so will increase contractility and heart rate due to the beta 1 stimulation but will also decrease peripheral resistance due to the beta 2 stimulation

diastolic- decrease

What causes a decrease in Heart Rate. when propranolol is administered to a pt?
This patient must have had some
beta -1 sympathetic stimulation
of the SA node that was blocked
by propranolol.

Normally, however , parasympathetic tone predominates in the heart
why would a heart rate reduced when Epi is given in the presence of propranolol
increasing blood pressure activates the baroreceptor reflex

Drugs that elevate BP cause reflex bradycardia as long as other drugs are not present to block the reflex arc. Before propranolol is administered, Epi causes a direct stimulation of the beta-1 receptors of the heart that is partially obtunded by the reflex vagal activity. When the beta-1 receptors are blocked by propranolol, the vasoconstrictor alpha action of Epi will produce a marked reflex bradycardia. This had been previously masked by the direct effects of beta-1 stimulation.
why is Captopril used to treat hypertension, CHF, and renal
syndromes like diabetic nephropathy and scleroderma
Captopril is an is an ACE inhibitor it exerts its antihypertensive effects by blocking the formation of

vasodilator) The buildup causes which significant side effects that may cause life threatening upper airway obstruction.

what is the pathophysiology of this pt with aortic stenosis
increased afterload leads to increase LV wall stress so the LV compensates by hypertrophy. later there is a loss in contractility of LV and develops left heart failure

The blood jets from the aortic regurgitation strike the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve, which often results in premature closure of the mitral leaflets. This can be mistaken for mitral stenosis.
