| Question | Answer |
| Cardiac output | CO=HR*Stroke Vol. L/min = Bpm * L |
| HR stim | ANS (Para)sympathetic stim. Circulating hormones |
| Stroke vol. stim | extrinsic: Sympathetic stim. Intrinsic: Degree of cardiac muscle stretch like endothelium derived NO or metabolites + relating factors e.g. H+/CO2/Hypoxia |
| Cardiac Pacemaker | SANs generates electrical activity |
| Atrium/Ventricle/SANs depolarisation | a eh ahee |
| E activity pathway | SAN -> RA -> LA -> AVN (Delay) -> Bundle of His -> Septum of heart -> L/R V |
| Lead II position | Bundle of His axis |
| ECG reading | PQRST |
| P wave | Atria depolarisation |
| PR interval | Conduction through AV node |
| QRS complex | Depolarisation of ventricles More cells = larger depolarisation Repolarisation of atria distorted by large depol |
| T wave | Repolarisation of ventricles |
| QT duration | Ventricular repo+depo |
| The heart is a functional what now, sonny boy? I say young whippersnapper, the heart is a functional what now? | Functional syncytium gramps! Each individual cell cooperates with one another to create a co-ordinated wave of excitation/contraction! |
| Well I'll be! Crazy how advanced science is these days. Now say now sonny boy, just how do they do that? | Well gramps it's simple, the cells are electrically coupled through gap junctions They're also mechanically coupled |
| Why is relaxation co-ordinated w/ excitation? | To allow sufficient time for filling |
| What do valves ensure? | One-way flow of blood |
| Systole | Contraction of chamber and ejection of blood |
| Diastole | Relaxation and filling |
| Events of cardiac cycle | 1. Atrial systole (ventricular diastole). 2. Isovolumetric contraction of ventricles 3. Ventricular systole. 4. Isovolumetric relaxation of ventricles 5. Passive refilling of ventricles |
| Diagram of valve opening shutting | Mitral valve closes Aortic valve opens Aortic valve closes Aortic pressure Left atrial pressure Mitral valve opens |
| Dynamic Pressure-Volume relationship in left ventricle | A-~>B Diastole filling B~>C Isovolumic contraction C~> D Ejection of blood D~>A Isolvolumic relaxation |
| PS Stim on SAN pacemaker activity | Stim vagus nerve, slows rate of depol. Slows heart rate |
| S stim | Delop reaches threshold much more rapidly ^ heart rate |
| Cardiac Cycle | Phase 1: Atrial systole Phase 2: Isovolumetric contraction Phase 3: Rapid ejection Phase 4: Isovolumetric relaxation Phase 5: Passive refilling |
| Diastole | Phase 1 and 5 |
