Overview • Electrical aspects of cardiac physiology • Biochemical aspects of cardiac physiology • Other Bio-electrical aspects of cardiac physiology • Tightly integrated
Electrical aspects of cardiac physiology • Anatomy • Action potential • Travel in conduction system • Ion channels • Receptors
Biochemical aspects of cardiac physiology • Structural • Metabolic • Contractile • Endothelial
Other Bio-electrical aspects of cardiac physiology • ANP • Cardioplegia • Hibernating myocardium • Stunned myocardium • Digoxin • GIK • Rigor mortis
Action Potential Of Myocyte O Depolarisation 1 Rapid repolarisation 2 Plateau 3 Late repolarisation 4 baseline
Electrical Mechanical Association ARP vs RRP & Vulnerable Point or R on T
Receptors • Sympathetic • Beta 1 • alpha • Para sympathetic • Muscurinic • Atria and ventricles • Dopamine • Adenosine • Ischaemic conditioning
Beta receptor 7 trans membrane family of receptors
STIM Enoximone Catalytic regulatory aspects of cAMP
Ion channels • Na+ • K+ • Ca2+ at least 2 types • T transient - depolarisation • L long acting – less voltage dependent • H+ • Exchange channels Na+ -K + • Exchange channels Na+ -Ca2+
Cardiac ion channels 1 2 3 4
Ca2+ antagonists • Calcium entry blockers NOT direct calcium antagonists
Biochemical aspects of cardiac physiology • Structural • Metabolic • Contractile • Endothelial
Heart structure Discs Nucleus Cytoplasm Membrane Connective tissue
Metabolic • Glycolysis • Pyruvate • TCA • Fat - the main source of cardiac energy • Lactate or Cori cycle • ATP • Adrenaline • Q10
Glucose transport • GLUT 1 to 4 • 1 and 4 on heart • 4 on heart - insulin sensitive • ?GIK mechanism
Fate Of Pyruvate
Hormonal milieu • Glucose metabolism affected by • Catecholamines • Insulin • Glucagon • Thyroid hormones • Acetylcholine • Bradykinin • TNF
Adrenaline Inotropic Chronotropic Metabolic
Glycogen importance • Conflicting views • Glycogen depletion • Increased deposition • Increased utilisation • Decreased utilisation • May be important in preconditioning and ischaemia reperfusion • Poullis point • ? Importance of pre operative starvation
