|
What changes does Vitamin D have to go through before it is activated? |
An -OH(hydroxyl) group is added by the liver and another one is added by the kidney. |
|
What's another name for inactive vitamin D? |
Cholecalciferol |
|
What does activated vitamin D do? |
Helps reabsorb Ca++ in the GI tract Helps to hang on to more Ca++ in the kidney Involved in building bone |
|
What is bone made out of? |
Ca++ and Phospate |
|
So, if your kidney was failing, what would you expect to see in your blood for the Ca++ concentration? |
Decrease in vitamin D activation so... there will be a? Decrease in the concentration of Ca++ in the blood |
|
So what happens when we have a Ca++ deficit in our blood? |
There is an increase in bone breakdown. This releases Ca++ and Phosphate So, you'd have hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia |
|
What's the name for activated vitamin D? |
Dihydroxycholecalciferol |
|
What drives filtration in the kidneys? |
glomerular hydrostatic pressure in the capillary |
|
What helps with the pressure in the glomerular capillaries? |
Podocytes |
|
What is renal clearance? |
It's all about how fast the kidney can clear the body. |
|
What's equal to GFR? |
The maximum amount of plasma or blood that you can clear |
|
Filtration fraction |
How much of the plasma is skimmed off It's about 1/5 |
|
What happens upstream and downstream where we pinch? |
Upstream: increase in pressure Downstream: drop in pressure |
|
What happens to most of the stuff that we filter? |
We reabsorb it |
|
What does the SNS do to the kidney? |
It works at the afferent arteriole causing a squeeze to happen. This allows our bodies to hang onto more fluid. |
|
What other system promotes fluid retention? |
Renin Ang I Ang II |
|
Where do we get our circulating catacholamines? |
We get it from the adrenal medulla |
|
What makes vasopressin different? |
Reabsorbs water w/o reabsorbing salt |
|
What's the 1st thing we think about when it comes there is low blood osmolarity? |
ICP Fluid could be moving into the brain |
|
Diabetes insipidous |
There are 2 types Central: Brain is not producing ADH Nephrogenic: Receptors are not able to receive ADH. The problem is the kidney. |
|
What are some of the causes of central DI? |
Stroke or trauma |
|
What is a cause of nephrogenic DI? |
Acute kidney failure. Can be temporary. |
|
Who is most likely to get SIADH? |
Lung cancer pts because it produces all kinds of crazy stuff. |
|
How do you treat SIADH? |
Give salt and diuretic to balance osmolarity |
|
What does ADH control? |
Osmolarity |
|
What does aldosterone control? |
K+ |
|
Recall what happens to our body after drinking 1 L of distilled water. |
After 15-20 min the body is already decreasing ADH release after the influx of water. Blood osmolarity only drips a little. Urine output(increase) and osmolarity (drop) change alot Slight increase in the amount of solutes in urine |
|
What type of HTN do white folks have? What causes it? |
Essential HTM Unknown |
|
What HTN do asian and black folks have? What causes it? |
Salt sensitive HTN Salt and water |
|
What age do we lose half our nephrons? What disease can kill out kidneys? |
80 DM |
|
How does chronic kidney failure work? |
As nephrons died out the remainder of work goes to the remaining functioning nephrons, which break them down faster because they are exposed to more toxins |
|
What is end stage renal disease defined as? |
<5% normal GFR |
|
What problems may occur with a kidney when it is failing? |
Hypernatermia Hypervolemia Hyperkalemia HTN Hypocalcemia Uremia(Azotemia) Nitrogenous compounds Acidosis Anemia Hyperphosphatemia |
|
What do you need to give a pt with renal failure? |
EPO and 1, 25 -OH synthetic vitamin D |
|
What do NSAIDS do to pt with renal failure? |
Prostaglandins keep AA open, but with NSAID the prostaglandins go away, so AA closes a little bit, so there is less blood flow. |
|
What's the heart of the kidney? |
Medullary blood flow |
|
What are the 2 different circuits and which has a higher pressure? Which 2 pumps is bigger? |
A- Systemic circuits (Higher) B- Pulmonary circuit The left side is bigger because it has to pump against circuit with higher pressure. |
|
What do AV valves do? |
Separate atria from the ventricle |
|
What are your aortic valves and all their other names? |
Pulmonic/Pulmonary artery Valves Aortic/Systemic aortic valve |
|
What are the characteristic Muscle types of each of the chambers? |
They will vary a little depending on the side of the heart that you are on, and if you are in the atria or ventricle. |
|
Which has thinner walls? What separates the left and right side of the heart? Which ventricle is thicker? |
Atria walls are thinner than ventricle walls The intraventricular septum The left |
|
The pressures in the circuit reflect what about the heart? So the RA will be like what? What does elevated CVP do for the heart? |
What the pressures are going to be in the heart What will be like the vena cava, which will be a low pressure It helps the heart pump, so it is an adaptation |
|
What is this? |
Cardiac cycle - Carl Wiggers diagram Look at how thing are happening in relation to each other |
|
What is phonocardiogram? |
Heart sounds |
|
What is the P wave in the electrocardiogram? |
Where the atria is depolarizing? |
|
What causes the delay in mechanical contraction from electrical depolarization? |
The Ca++ still has to come in and bind, so mechanical force is possible. Electrical event occurs before mechanical event |
|
What causes the increases in pressure in the ventricle? |
The contraction of the ventricle |
|
What is the a wave? |
It is the blip on the CVP detected by the central line from the contraction of the atria |
|
Where can you see the result of the contraction of the ventricle? |
Arterial pressure, but we don't see the effects until the valve opens |
|
What opens a valve? |
It's the change in pressure, so that the ejection side is higher than the receiving side. |
|
What closes the valve? |
Change in pressure where the receiving side is higher than the ejection side. |
|
Which line represents the pressure inside of the ventricle? |
The red line Pressure increases after the contraction starts |
|
Do we spend more time is systole or diastole? |
Diastole |
|
What is isovolumetric contraction? |
Both valves are closed, contraction is occurring with no change in volume. |
|
So, why does volume move from one location to another? |
There is a difference in pressure Moves from high pressure to low pressure |
|
What do we consider systole? |
The time between 1st and 2nd heart sounds |
|
Isovolumetric relaxation |
When both valves are closed and the mechanical event has ceased. |
|
What produces the heart sounds? |
The vibration of closure |
|
Which valve is more "meaty"? |
Aortic is more meaty than the tricuspid valve, so it vibrates for a shorter amount of time. This is why there is a difference in the duration of heart sounds. 2nd is shorter that 1st heart sound. |
|
How much does the pressure change in the atrium? |
It's only by a few mm Hg |
|
How are the skeletal muscle stretched before they are in use? |
They are optimally stretched before they are put into use |
|
How is cardiac muscle stretched? |
it's slightly sub-optimum, so that the more volume is in the ventricle, the better it can contract because it stretches it to an optimal lvl. |
|
William Howell |
1st to find the relationship between the stretch and the force of contraction. 1884 |
|
When did Otto Frank come into play? E.H. Starling? |
1894 1918 |
|
What is the frank-starling law? |
The more you stretch the heart, the better it pumps, to a certain point. |
|
Lecture 2 |
1/20/2016 - Wednesday |
|
What accounts for the lag between the electrical event in the heart and the mechanical events? |
It is the excitation-contraction coupling it takes very little time |
|
What is optimally stretched at rest? What is not? |
Skeletal muscle Cardiac muscle |
|
What helps to optimally stretch the cardiac muscle? What does optimal stretch mean for the heart? |
Filling with volume and atrial force It means that the heart can pump better |
|
What does the atrial force determine? Where does the force come from? Do these forces come from the ventricle? |
What's going on with cardiac filling? Static filling and contraction of the atria Nope, it's a passive party |
|
What does this represent? How can you get a good picture of this? |
Pressure volume loop It looks at the function of the heart and how much it is putting out and what pressures we are seeing. You see it best by putting instrumentation on the left side of the heart. (not safe or easy) |
|
What should be the same between the left and right side of the heart? |
SV |
|
How can you find SV? So how would you find CO? |
EDV - ESV SV x HR |
|
What is normal EDV? ESV? So, what would be SV in this situation? And... CO? |
120 50 70 70 x 72 = approximately 5L/min |
|
What kind of change in pressure occurs during the period of filling? |
Pressure should correspond to somewhat of what CVP is and become a U shape. |
|
Preload What happens if we increase preload and nothing else? Decrease preload and nothing else? |
Pressure/force that assists in filling the heart Increase EDV, which increases SV, increasing CO and increase BP Decrease ED , decreasing SV, decreasing CO, and decreasing BP |
|
Afterload What happens if we only increase afterload? Decrease Afterload? |
Pressure immediately outside the LV Take longer for the LV to overcome the pressure on the aorta to open the aortic valve and less time for it to be open. Increase ESV, which decreases SV Decreased ESV, so increased SV |
|
What are the two ways we look at afterload? |
Pressure that exists when the aortic valve opens 80 mm Hg Peak systole 120 mm Hg |
|
Contractility Increase Contractility Decrease Contractility |
Ability of the heart to increase or decrease SV, independent from preload and afterload. Increase SV by pumping harder, increase the peak systolic pressure Decrease SV by not pumping as hard |
|
What can affect contractility? |
Beta agonist -increase pumping performance of the heart Beta antagonists -Decrease the pump performance of the heart |
|
How do beta agonists increase the performance of the heart? |
Increases the amount of Ca++ that comes in through the heart, increases the speed at which Ca++ is removed (PKA inhibiting phosphoamban), increase cross bridge cycling rate. |
|
In the explanation of contractility, how do we hold afterload constant? So, what can we say in references to slope and contractility? |
By taking it as the diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg The steeper the slope, the higher the contractility The lower the slope, lower the contractility |
|
What are the 4 phases of the pressure volume loop? |
1- Filling 2- Isovolumetric contraction 3- Ejection 4- Isovolumetic relaxation |
|
The 1st heart sound is the closing of what valves? 2nd heart sound? |
Mitral/tricuspid -louder, lower pitch Aortic/pulmonic |
|
What causes the 3rd heart sound? |
"Sloshing" of blood against an uncompliant walls of the heart. mostly peds because the younger the heart, the less compliant it is. This can cause DPS to the walls. Typically can't be heard. |
|
How do peds make up for an uncompliant heart, if they need more output? What if you take that mechanism away? |
HR DPS the heart, if they can't get rid of an increase in return |
|
What the purpose of the increase pressure the further it is from the heart? |
So, it can return blood to the heart |
|
What is Right Atrial Pressure(RAP)? LAP? |
0 mmHg 2 mmHg -the walls are thicker and have less give, so more pressure |
|
a wave c wave v wave/peak Note: this is a low pressure waveform |
Atrial contraction AV valves being pushed backwards towards atria in isovolumetric contraction Blood being pushed into the AV valves(closed) as filling of atria occurs, right before the AV valves open. |
|
How much leaves the ventricle in the 1st 1/3 of ejection? What is it called? What about the rest? |
70% of SV (Rapid ejection/outflow) 30% of SV (Reduced Ejection/outflow) |
|
How much enters the ventricle in the 1st 1/3 of ventricular filling? 2nd 1/3 of ventricular filling? last 1/3 of ventricular filling? |
Rapid inflow 70-75% Diastasis, where hardly anything moves Atrial systole 10-15% (Called atrial kick) Can be up to 25% |
|
Where is atrial kick important? |
in very sick pts |
|
What part of diastole has no filling occuring at all? |
Isovolumetric relaxation |
|
What opens and closes valves? |
Pressure |
|
What is pulse pressure? Does it change? |
OR SBP-DBP Typically 40 mm Hg Yes, throughout the system |
|
What is the most important variable that determines pulse pressure? |
Compliance |
|
What is vascular compliance? |
This is for the cardiovascular system |
|
What happens when we change the contractility of our heart? |
It also changes pressure |
|
Looking back at PP, if SV increases? If compliance increases? |
PP increases, for those with hard arteries, the pulse pressure increases. PP decreases, the compliance allows for the extra volume without much increase in pressure. |
|
What is the difference in compliance with healthy pple and sick pple? |
Healthy pple have more compliance than sick pple. |
