Cardiology For Phase 1a Maria Digby & Rowena Speak The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
What we’re going to cover… 1st Half • Physiology • Pharmacology • Anatomy • ECG 2nd Half • Pathophysiology + Clinical Scenarios • More Pharmacology! • Question time The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Ventricles • Phase 0: depolarisation – Na+ in • Phase 1: partial repolarisation – Na+ channels shut, K+ out • Phase 2: plateau – Ca2+ in through L-type channels • Phase 3: repolarisation – K+ out • Phase 4: resting potential – (-90mV) – Na+/K+ ATPase The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
SAN • Phase 4 = pacemaker potential – less K+ out, Na+ in through F-type channels, Ca2+ in through T-type channels • Phase 0 = slower depolarisation – Ca2+ in through L-channels NOT Na+ in like depolarisation ventricles!) • Phase 3 = repolarisation – K+ out The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Antiarrhythmic drugs: Vaughan Williams classification • Class I: Na+ channel blockers 1a) Quinidine – moderate blocker 1b) Lignocaine – weak blocker 1c) Flecainide – strong blocker • Class II: Beta blockers: block sympathetic stimulation - atenolol • Class III: K+ channel blockers: prolong repolarisation - amiodarone • Class IV: Ca2+ channel blockers: verapramil Phase 1 IV Phase 2 0 mV III I Phase 0 Phase 3 -80mV Phase 4 II The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Cardiac cycle • AP = aortic pressure • LVP = left ventricular pressure • LAP = left atrial pressure • LVEDV = left ventricular end diastolic volume • LVESV = left ventricular end systolic volume The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Cardiac cycle: Systole • Systole • After ventricular filling, pressure in ventricles > in atria = AV valves close (SOUND 1 = “lub”) • Isovolumetric contraction: ventricles contracts when all valves are shut (this increases pressure in ventricles) • Ventricular ejection: pressure in ventricles > in pulmonary artery/aorta = semilunar valves open and blood flows out of ventricle The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Cardiac cycle: Diastole • Diasystole • After ventricular ejection, pressure in pulmonary artery/aorta > than in ventricles = semilunar valves shut (SOUND 2 = “dub”) • Isovolumetric relaxation: ventricles relax when all valves are shut (this decreases the pressure in the ventricles) • Ventricular filling: pressure in ventricles < in atria = AV valves open The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Cardiac cycle: “atrial kick” • Ventricular filling is mostly a passive process • But towards the end of diastole, the atria contract causing a small increase in pressure in the ventricles = “atrial kick” The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Cardiac cycle: dicrotic notch • When the aortic valve closes, blood rebounds against the valve causing a decrease then a rebound of aortic pressure = dicrotic notch The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Equations: learn these!! • SV = EDV - ESV • CO = HR x SV • MAP = DP + 1/3(SP-DP) • BP = CO x TPR The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Monitoring MAP: Baroreceptors Where are the arterial baroreceptors? a) Carotid sinus + b) Aortic arch • Baroreceptors detect changes in arterial pressure • Afferent nerve (Glossopharyngeal) • CNS (Medullary Cardiovascular Centre) • Efferent nerve • Sympathetic outflow to heart and arterioles • Parasympathetic (Vagus) outflow to heart The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Maintaining MAP (BP = CO x TPR) CO TPR BP The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Maintaining MAP: 1. Changing CO • CO = HR x SV • Change Heart Rate • Sympathetic nervous stimulation of the heart • Parasympathetic nervous stimulation of the heart (Vagus) • Plasma adrenaline • Change Stroke Volume • Sympathetic nervous stimulation of the heart • Plasma adrenaline • End-diastolic ventricular volume (preload) – FRANK-STARLING MECHANISM The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
FRANK-STARLING MECHANISM – learn this! At any given heart rate…. Any ↑ Venous Return…. Causes ↑ End-Diastolic Volume… Causes ↑ stretch in the cardiac muscle (Preload)… Causes ↑ forceful contraction… Which ↑ Stroke Volume and thereby the Cardiac Output The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Maintaining MAP: 2. Changing TPR • The arterioles are the principle site of resistance to blood flow • Vasoconstriction • Local: Endothelin-1, internal blood pressure (myogenic response) • Neural: Sympathetic nerves • Hormonal: Adrenaline (on alpha receptors), Angiotensin II, Vasopressin (aka Antidiuretic hormone) • Vasodilation • Local: decrease in Oxygen, increase in CO2/H+, Nitric Oxide, Eicosanoids, Prostacyclin • Neural: Neurons that release Nitric oxide • Hormonal: Adrenaline (on beta 2 receptors), Atrial Natriuretic Peptide The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Important point… • There is sympathetic stimulation to both the heart and arterioles • But there is no parasympathetic stimulation to the arterioles, only to the heart The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Terms to understand… • Active hyperaemia – vasodilation in response to an increase in metabolic activity • Flow autoregulation – vasodilation in response to decreased pressure • Reactive hyperaemia – when a tissue’s blood supply has been completely occluded, on removal of the occlusion there is a profound, transient increase in blood flow The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
GO LOOK AT… • VANDERS - especially page 399 (12th edition) The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Long term regulation of MAP • The Baroreceptor reflex is a short term regulator. They end up adapting to a maintained change in pressure. • The most important long-term regulator of arterial pressure is blood volume – this is regulated by the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) • ACE inhibitors inhibit RAAS to reduce blood volume (have a quick look at RAAS – try to understand it but don’t worry about memorising it until Phase 1b!) The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
RAAS The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
