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... |
|
What changes occur with detaining?
|
Rapid decrease in CO and VO 2max
HR max does not change!!!! |
|
What is heart failure?
|
Heart failure is caused by any condition which reduces the
efficiency of the myocardium through acute damage or overloading. |
|
What are the three basic adaptations that occur with heart failure?
|
• hypertrophy
• dilation • contractility |
|
What is the result of left heart failure?
|
Left atrial pressure leads to pulmonary congestion and dyspnea
|
|
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 |
|
What is Decompensated Failure?
|
decrease in contractility worsens
SV not maintained muscle fibers are stretched beyond there optimal length decreased effectiveness of increased EDV |
|
Forward failure:
|
less than adequate SV, soemthing wrong with the heart
|
|
Backward failure is?
|
blood backs up in the venous system
problem with something down the line (like kidemys holding too much fluid) causes CHF |
|
Wht is Eccentric Hypertrophy?
What is being added/ |
VOLUME overload causes increase in muscle mass that is
distributed such that wall thickness remains relatively normal Sarcomeres |
|
What is concentric hypertrophy?
|
PRESSURE overload that increases wall thickness from chronic SNS stimulation
• ratio of contractile proteins/ mitochondria increases |
|
What would cause eccentric hypertrophy? Concentric
|
E: regurgitation/increased diastolic pressure
C: stenoses, hypertension |
|
What factors become desensitized in heart failure from increased SNS stimulation?
|
↓ cardiac NE stores
↓ β-adrenoceptor density ↓ catecholamine sensitivity |
|
How does Right Ventricle Failure cause edema?
|
↑ venous pressure
↑ capillary pressure ↑ formation of tissue fluid edema (ascites) |
