Poiseulle's Law
R = 8 * l * viscosity / pi (r^4)
l = length
LaPlace's Law
T = P * r
T = wall tension
P = intraluminal pressure
r = radius
laminar flow
all elements of the fluid move in streamlines parallel to the axis of the tube.
turbulent flow
the elements of the fluid move irregularly
How is Flow (V) related to resistance (R) and pressure
Flow = dP/R
dP = change in pressure

vascular smooth muscle

•Dull & low pitched
•Normal in children
•May indicate CHF or cardiomyopathy in adults
S4
•“Atrial Gallop”
•Corresponds to atrial contraction
•Rarely a normal finding
•Associated with “stiff”, hypertrophied ventricle
resistance:
series
parallel
Series: Rtot = 1 + R2 + R3 + …
Parallel: 1/Rtot = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + …
compliance =
dV/dP
normal hematocrit value is
40
chemical gradient drives K+ ____ electrical gradient drives K+ ____
out

in
Resting membrane potential. rank the permeability of the following ions: K, Na, Ca
K > Na = Ca
[K+]: inside and outside
[Na+]: inside and outside
[Ca++]: inside and outside
[K+]: 140nM, 4mM
[Na+]: 10mM, 145mM
[Ca++]: <10^-7mM, 1mM
2 tyoes if cardiomyocytes
fast and slow response cells
can AP occur during ERP?
no
can AP occur during RRP?
yes, but not efficient
depolarization of fast response cell is contributed what channel? the plateau?
exflux of Na+
Influx of Ca++
what effect does Ca++ blocker have on the fast response cell?
reduces duration of AP
plateau phase changes
reduction of force generated
Cardiac muscle relies on intra or extracellular Ca++
extra
(both extra and intra contribute to Ca+ pool)
What cardiac cell cluster have slow response?
fast response?
slow response cells: SA and AV nodes

fast response: atrium, purkinje and ventricle
In slow response cell what ions contribute to initial depolarization of membrane? the slight depolarization after repolarization is contributed by?
Influx of Ca++

influx of Na+
effect pf Ca++ blocker on slow response cells?
reduction of depolarization
longer time btw AP - slower HR
Effect that sympathetic stimulation have on SA node firing? parasympathetic?
sympathetic: accelerate slow depolarization phase. increases the rate of Na + channel opening.

parasympathetic: hyperpolarizes the cell (increasing K+ channel opening) takes longer to depolarize.
systole is divided into 2 phases.
isovolumic and ejection phases
cardiac Output =
HR x Stroke Volume
Cardiac output in mL/min
5L/min
during fight or flight situation: CO is ___ times that of normal CO
5x
preload
heart receiving blood vol
afterload
heart pushing against blood pressure, depended upon vasoconstriction and vasodilation
Stroke vol is equals to
EDV - ESV
EDV: end diastolic vol
ESV: end systolic vol
EDV

ESV
EDV: amount of blood remaining in ventricle at the end of diastole

ESV: amount of blood remaining in ventricle at the end of systole
Frank-Starling effect
increasing EDV (increasing preload) corresponds to increasing blood vol in the heart (returning more blood to the heart).
Heart responds by contracting with equal pressure but increased force.
EF (ejection fraction) =
SV/EDV
failed heart has higher or lower ejection fraction compared to a healthy heart?
lower
b/c EF = SV/EDV
SV stays the same as a normal heart, but EDV increases; hence lowering the EF.
staircase phenomenon of heart rate explains that. molecular concept.
increase HR will increase the ability of the heart to generate force.

increased basal level of Ca++ in sarcoplasm allowing a increased Ca++ that binds to troponin C.
atropine blocks
propanolol blocks
atropine blocks parasympathetic tone, fast HR

paropanolol blocks sympathetic tone, slow HR
positive inotropic effect of sympathetic system on the heart means that
increased heart contractility
w/o inputs from para and sympathetic inputs, the intrinsic HR is
100 beats/min
Both para and sym system are present at the same time but vagal tone are greater. (T/F)
T
If there's an increased venous return to the heart, what effect does bainbridge reflex on the HR?
it increases HR
If there's an increased venous return to the heart, what effect does baroreceptor reflex on the HR?
decreases HR
2 ways that atrial pressure change
1. atrial pressure increases when ventricular contraction is low
2. right atrial pressure increases when there's increased venous return
Cardiac function modulation:
short term
long term effects
Short term: HR, SV, vascular resistance (syspathetics and parasympathetics), venous return.

Long term: hypertrophy, vascularization, hematocrit
what effect does slowed HR have on the transit time in the pulmonary circulation?
increased transit time to allow more time for gas exchange in the lungs.
Does SV change during blood infusion?
No
Define preload and afterload?
preload: receiving blood vol.
afterload: pushing against blood pressure, depended upon vasoconstriction and vasodilation.
myocardial infarction (heart attack), it occurs where and how?
it occurs when a cholesterol plaque in the wall of the coronary artery ruptures and causes a thrombus to form occluding the coronary artery and starving the myocardial cells of glucose and oxygen.
the risk factors of myocardial infarction are (5)
• Hypertension
• Hypercholesterolemia
• Diabetes
• Cigarette smoking
• Family history of coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease may manifest itself in 6 ways:
• Asymptomatic
• Angina: Stable angina and Unstable angina
• Myocardial infarction
• Congestive heart failure
• Cardiogenic shock
• Sudden cardiac death
most common manifestation of stable angina is Stages of Hemostasis
chest pain or chest pressure during excursion.
treating stable angina - relax the heart
decrease heart rate and contractility (beta blocker and Ca++ blocker) and prevent thrombus formation (nitrate and aspirin)
cardiomyopathy caused by
weakening of the heart muscle can be caused by
myocardial cell death (by not treating myocardial infarction and unstable angina fast enough)
disease of the heart valves
post-viral or idiopathic etiology
syncope
heart fail to pump enough blood to the brain causing the body to lose consciousness
Stages of Hemostasis
•Vasoconstriction (Vascular phase)-Transient
•Primary Hemostasis (Platelet Activation phase) - non-covalent platelet clot
•Secondary Hemostasis (Coagulation phase) - covalent platelet clot
•Plug Formation and Dissolution
vasoconstriction result from
nervous reflexes
local myogenic spasm
local humoral factors
