SV at higher levels of exertion
What is the equation for maximal heart rate?
220-age
How is HR is controlled by a
balance of parasympathetic and
sympathetic activity?
Initial increase in heart rate is due to VAGAL withdrawl, not Sympathertics. However as exercise continuities (around 100 bpm) sympathetic take over!
How does exercise effect ventricular filling time? How does this effect diastolic filling, and why?
Left ventricular filling time goes down but diastolic filling is maintained because sympatherics increase the rate of relaxation to compensate.
How does stroke volume compare in a trained vs untrained person during exercise?
Stroke volume increases proportionally with exercise intensity.
In non athletes resting SV is lower than in athletes and both can go up the same range during exercise making the exersie rate for nonatheletes also lower. They both cap out about 40-60% of maximal capacity after which it plateaus.
Why does SV increase in exercise?
Preload increases: Increased venous return and filling increases EDV.
Contractility increases do to SNS innervation
↑ contractility has what effect on ejection fraction, ESV and SV?
↑ ejection fraction = ↓ ESV = ↑ SV
What is Oxygen extraction?
the difference between the arterial and venous concentrations of oxygen (CaO2-CvO2).
Increases 3 fold during exercise because more 02 is consumed and less is brought back in venous system
How does Redistribution of Blood of blood work during exercise?
Compliance = P/V
SNS constriction to unnecessary areas increases venous return by puttng more blood into a "smaller" system
How is working muscle vasodialted?
Usually under SNS constriction at rest, but metabolically active substances like CO2, H+, adnosine and lactatae cause vasodialation
What are the exceptions to blood redistribution in exercise?
Skin: moderate lets vasodialate so it can cool, intense vasocnstricts to increase cartiac output
heart (may increase) and brain are maintained...

Rapid decrease in CO and VO 2max
HR max does not change!!!!

What is the result of right heart failure?
Right atrial pressure leads to systemic congestion
lower extremity edema
What happens to contractility with heart failure? How does the body try to compensate?
In a failing heart, contractility is reduced
SNS stimulation increases contractility temporarily
Effects of SNS stimulation eventually depressed
Kidney’s sense decrease in CO and retain water to increase
blood volume.
Leads to an increase in EDV (preload increase) to try to maintain stroke volume. Vasoconstriction increases afterload though

muscle fibers are stretched beyond there optimal length
decreased effectiveness of increased EDV
