  1. Chapter 13 Heart

  2. Functions of theCirculatory System • Heart is the pump that circulates blood • Arteries, veins, and capillaries transport the blood • Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries the waste products away • Lymph system functions

  3. Major Blood Circuits • Blood leaves the heart through arteries and returns by veins • Blood circulation routes • General or system circulation • Cardiopulmonary circulation • Changes in the composition of circulating blood

  4. The Heart • About the size of a closed fist • Weighs about 1 pound • Located in thoracic cavity; apex of heart lies on the diaphragm and points to the left of the body

  5. The Heart • After 4 to 5 minutes without blood flow, the brain cells are irreversibly damaged • Can hear the heartbeat through the stethoscope • Cardiac arrest • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

  6. Structure of the Heart • Hollow, muscular, double pump • Pericardium and pericardial fluid • Myocardium • Cardiac muscle tissue • Endocardium

  7. Structure of the Heart • Superior and inferior vena cava • Coronary sinus • Pulmonary artery • Pulmonary veins • Aorta

  8. Chambers and Valves • Separated into right and left halves by septum; then each half separated into an upper and lower chamber • Upper chambers • Left and right atria

  9. Chambers and Valves • Low chambers • Left and right ventricles • Valves keep blood flow going in one direction

  10. Valves • Atrioventricular valves • Tricuspid valve • Bicuspid or mitral valve • Semilunar valves • Pulmonary semilunar valve • Aortic semilunar valve

  11. Physiology of the Heart • Double pump • Right heart • Deoxygenated blood • Left heart • Oxygenated blood

  12. Heart Rate and Cardiac Output • Normal adult rate is between 72 and 80 beats per minute • Stroke volume • Calculating the cardiac output • Exercise increases cardiac output

  13. Heart Sounds • Valves make a sound when they close • Called lubb dupp sounds • Lubb • Tricuspid and bicuspid valves (S1) • Dupp • Aortic and pulmonary valves (S2)

  14. Conduction System • Electrical impulses cause rhythmic beating of heart • Sinoatrial (SA) node or pacemaker • Atrioventricular (AV) node • Bundle of His • Purkinje fibers

  15. ECG or EKG • The electrocardiogram is a device to record the electrical activity of the heart • Systole • Contraction • Diastole • Relaxation

  16. ECG or EKG • Positive and negative deflection • P, QRS, and T waves

  17. Prevention of Heart Disease • Heart disease is the leading cause of death • Coronary heart disease • Risk factors • Steps to lower risk or prevent heart disease • Blood cholesterol levels and triglycerides

  18. Diagnostic Tests Noninvasive • Angiography • Cardiac MRI • Coronary calcium scoring/heart scan • Echocardiography • Electrocardiogram

  19. Diagnostic Tests Noninvasive • Exercise stress tests • Holter monitor • MUGA • Transesophageal echocardiography

  20. Diagnostic Tests Invasive • Cardiac catheterization • IVUS (intravascular coronary ultrasound)

  21. Diagnostic Tests Blood Tests • Arterial blood gases • BNP • Lipid panel • Cardiac enzymes • INR/Prothrombin time tests

  23. Effects of Aging • Heart muscle fibers replaced by fibrous tissue • Heart valves increase in thickness • Cardiac output decreases • Changes become more significant when elderly person becomes physically or mentally stressed

  24. Diseases of the Heart –Common Symptoms • Arrhythmia • Bradycardia • Tachycardia • Murmurs • Mitral valve prolapse

  25. Diseases of the Coronary Artery • Coronary artery disease (CAD) • Angina pectoris • Myocardial infarction

  26. Infectious Diseases of the Heart • Pericarditis • Myocarditis • Endocarditis • Rheumatic heart disease

  27. Heart Failure • When the ventricles of the heart are unable to contract effectively and blood pools in the heart • Symptoms depend on which ventricle fails

  28. Heart Failure • Left ventricle failure • Dyspnea • Right ventricle failure • Engorgement of organs, edema and ascites

  29. Congestive Heart Failure • Similar to heart failure plus edema of the lower extremities and blood backs up into the lungs • Treatment

  30. Rhythm/Conduction Defects • Heart block • First-degree block • Second-degree block • Third-degree block or complete heart block • Premature contractions • PACs • PVCs • Fibrillation

  31. Types of Heart Surgery • Angioplasty • Coronary bypass • Cardiac stents • Transmyocardial laser revascularization

  32. Heart Transplants • Used as last resort • Histocompatibility • Organ rejection

  33. Medical Highlights • Pacemaker • Cardiac resynchronization therapy • Defibrillator • Heart pumps
