what is cardiac performance
|
the effenceicy of the heart to pump out blood and keep BP high enough to perfuse all of the peripheral tissues
|
|
LVSW=
|
SV X LVPP
**LVPP is measured on a P/V Loop. its the difference btwn the P at the beginning of iosovolumetric contract, and the peak P (mid systole) |
|
How can CO be Altered
|
By changing SV or HR
CO = SV X HR |
|
List the ways SV is altered?
|
Contractility
Afterload Preload |
|
List the ways HR is altered?
|
ANS
|
|
what does the area of the P/V loop represent?
|
work done by vent
LVSW= SV X LVPP **LVPP is found by: peak Systolic P - Diastolic P |
|
if given a series of P/V curves what a good way to quickly compare the amt of work done by each loop?
|
look at the area. larger area is larger work that was done
|

|
????
|
|
what is preload and what does it determine?
|
its the amt of blood in the vent at the end of diastole (EDV)
**determines resting fiber length, recall increasing fiber length will increase the force of contraction (the other way to increase force of contraction in contractility by Ca) |
|
what is the frank sterling law of the heart?
|
increased force of contraction when there is an increased preload, due to increased fiber length. Increased fiber length mean increased force of contraction
|
|
ability to eject blood from the heart is proportional to...
|
the amt of blood in the heart
|
|
does cardiac mm operate at maximal L/T relationship?
|
nope, there is LOTS of room to increase fiber length in order to get a greater force of contraction
**fiber length is increased by increasing preload |
|
why does increasing cardiac mm fiber length increase the force of contraction
|
fiber isnt at optimal length, room for growth
longer fibers will have more cross bridges that can form ***as EDV increases the sarcromers get longer, the tension peaks, and a larger SV is ejected |
|
what changes preload
|
increased venous return
increased EDV |
|
when preload in increased how is the P/V loop changed?
|
the SV increases
**the area in the curve increases: LVSW increases **Frank Sterling: when EDV increases, SV increases **preload is increased EDV (increased venous returN) |
|
What determines Preload? (5)
|
1. Time for vent to fill, when HR increases time to fill decreases and EDV decreases, SV decreases
2. Ventricular Compliance: when compliance decreases preload decreases 3. Filling Pressure: negative intrathoracic pressure (breath in) will increase venous return (affect on S2?!) 4. Contribution of Atrial Systole to filling: when vent fill time is reduced this is important 5. Pericardial constraint: increased fluid around heart will decrease compliance nad decrease compliance |
|
How does Ventrical Filling time affect Preload?
|
when fill time is decreased, EDV decreases, AV decreases
|
|
How does Ventricular Compliance affect preload?
|
Decreased compliance (V/P) will decrease EDV, and decrease Sv
**with low compliance there is a larger pressure change that is required to get the same amt of volume in |
|
How does Filling Pressure alter preload?
|
when you breath in the intrathoracic pressure decreases and venous return increases, this will increase venous return and increase EDV and increase SV.
**recall when this happens the ejection time of the R side of the heart and the pulm valve will close even later than normal. This widens the S2 heart sound |
|
How/When is the contribution of atrial systole important to vent filling
|
when fill time is reduced
this can keep EDV high under normal conditions doesnt add a whole lot of extra volume |
|
how does the pericardium affect preload?
|
it can constrain the heart so compliance is reduced and EDV decreases
Pathological |
|
how fast does the heart need to beat to affect the CO
*NO sympathetic stimulation |
>150
increase in HR will decrease the amt of time for reduced filling, this will decrease SV. BUT.... No change in CO because HR is increased CO = SV X HR |
|
how fast does the heart need to beat to affect the CO
***WITH sympathetic stimulation |
(exercise)
SV will increase due to increased contractility, CO can increase dramatically |
|
what the difference btwn increased HR with and without sympathetic stimulation
|
WITH: increase CO because contractility (ca) increases, AV and HR increase
WITHOUT: CO is constant (as long as HR is less than 150) Sv is decreased but HR increases to keep CO constant |

a large cahnge in volume accompainied by a small change in pressure: high compiance |
|
what enhances venous return
|
taking a breath in
inspiration decreases intrathoracic pressure, this increases venous return and inceases preload (EDV) this also will make a longer ejection fraction for the ri side of the heart and the pulm valve will close EVEN later. widen S2 sound |
|

|
What must be the reasons for increased HR if CO is increased

FED state |
|
as fat oxidation increases, glucose oxidation _______-
|
decreases
|
|
what increases as a result of B oxidation? What does this cause?
|
B oxidation releases:
citrate: inhibits PFK acetly CoA: inhibits PDH **these inhibit glycolysis |
|
what is inhibited by citrate? what is the interplay?
|
Citrate is a product of B oxidation of FA so it will inhibit glycolysis
Citrate inhibits PFK |
|
what is inhibited by Acetly CoA? what is the interplay
/ |
Acetly CoA is made form B oxidation of Fa so it will inhibit glycolysis
**Acetly CoA inhibits PDH |
|
so... B oxidation will increase citrate and Acetly coA which inhibit PFK and PDH respectively. what effect does this have on glucose up take
|
when the glycolytic enzymes increase, G6P (glucose 6 Pi) also increases, the G6P inhibits hexokinase which brings glucose into the cell
|
|
how does a lack of B oxidation allow glucose to be matabolized
|
Citrate and AcetlyCoA can no longer inhibit PFK and PDH so glycolysis can occur
|
|
FA inhibit what 2 parts of glucose utilization in the heart? what is of greater magnitude/significance
|
1. glycolysis
2. glucose oxidation: greater inhibition here, contributes to LV failure |
|

|
how does carnitine help the heart?
|
it bufferes acetly CoA from B oxidation of the heart. this means PDH can be active and glucose can undergo glycolysis
