Study Notes
Cardiovascular Function and Physiology
- Stroke Volume (SV) Increase: Factors contributing to increased SV include increased venous return and enhanced contractility.
- Cardiac Output (Q) Equation: Cardiac output is calculated using the formula ( Q = SV \times HR ) (stroke volume multiplied by heart rate).
- Cardiac Cycle Phase: The relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle is known as diastole, where the ventricles fill with blood.
- Average Stroke Volume: Typical stroke volume is about 70 mL per beat in adults.
- Venous Return Increase: Mechanisms like skeletal muscle contractions and increased blood volume enhance venous return.
- Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) Effect: SNS stimulation causes venous constriction, increasing venous return and ultimately stroke volume.
- Increased Force of Contraction: Positive inotropic effects increase ventricular contraction strength, primarily due to SNS activation.
- Afterload Definition: Afterload is the pressure the heart must work against to eject blood during systole.
- Cardiac Output Increase: Factors such as increased heart rate and stroke volume elevate cardiac output.
- Aortic Valve Function: The aortic valve prevents backflow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle.
Metabolism and Energy Production
- ATP from Glycolysis: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules from one molecule of glucose-6-phosphate.
- NADH Production (PDH): The conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to pyruvate via the PDH complex produces 2 NADH molecules.
- ATP from Krebs Cycle: Each glucose-6-phosphate molecule yields 2 ATP during the Krebs cycle.
- NADH from Beta-Oxidation: Beta-oxidation of palmitate-16 generates 7 NADH molecules.
- FADH2 from Krebs Cycle: One molecule of palmitate-16 produces 4 FADH2 during the Krebs cycle.
- ATP from NADH: Each NADH can generate approximately 2.5 ATP molecules in the electron transport chain.
- ATP from FADH2: Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP molecules during electron transport.
- Total ATP from Glucose: The complete oxidation of one glucose molecule can yield a total of around 30-32 ATP.
- Total ATP from Palmitate-16: Complete oxidation of palmitate-16 can yield approximately 106 ATP.
- ATP Comparison: One molecule of glucose produces significantly fewer ATP compared to one molecule of palmitate-16.
Cardiac Function and Exercise
- Ejection Fraction Equation: The ejection fraction (EF) is calculated as ( EF = \frac{SV}{EDV} ) (stroke volume divided by end-diastolic volume).
- Ejection Fraction Facts: A normal ejection fraction is between 50% to 70%, indicating the heart's pumping efficiency.
- SV During Heavy Exercise: Stroke volume may increase due to enhanced contractility and venous return during heavy exercise.
- SV Decrease During Exercise: Prolonged intense exercise may decrease SV due to dehydration or cardiac fatigue.
- Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP): Calculated by the formula ( MAP = DBP + \frac{1}{3}(SBP - DBP) ) (diastolic blood pressure plus one-third of pulse pressure).
- Systolic-Diastolic Difference: The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure.
- Resistance (R) Equation: Resistance is calculated using the formula ( R = \frac{(DBP - CBP)}{Q} ) (change in pressure divided by flow rate).
- Vessel Diameter and Blood Flow: According to Poiseuille's Law, blood flow rate increases with larger vessel diameters and decreases with increased viscosity.
- Vasodilation Factors: Factors causing vasodilation during exercise include increased carbon dioxide, decreased oxygen, and the production of local metabolites.
- Blood Flow Rate (Q) Formula: Calculated as ( Q = \frac{(P1 - P2)}{R} ) (pressure difference divided by resistance).
- Viscosity (n) Calculation: Viscosity is calculated as the ratio of shear stress to shear rate in a fluid.
Blood Flow and Exercise
- Blood Flow Distribution During Cooldown: During cooldown, blood flow distribution gradually shifts back to resting states, prioritizing vital organs.
- Muscle Pump Effect: During exercise, the muscle pump mechanism enhances blood flow to the upper body through venous return.
- Blood Pressure Differences: Factors like gravity and vascular resistance cause higher blood pressure in the upper body compared to the lower body.
- SV Static Exercise Impact: Static exercise may decrease stroke volume due to increased intrathoracic pressure, limiting venous return.
- Heart Rate Increase: Dynamic exercise typically leads to a greater increase in heart rate compared to static exercise.
- Volume Load vs Pressure Load: Volume load refers to increased blood volume, while pressure load refers to heightened arterial pressure during exercise.
- Sex Differences in Cardiac Function: Males typically have higher cardiac output, while females exhibit differences in vascular resistance and heart dimension.
- Aging Cardiovascular Changes: Aging leads to increased stiffness of blood vessels, decreased maximum heart rate, and changes in cardiac structure.
- Ejection Fraction Consistency: Ejection fraction decreases with age due to reduced cardiac efficiency.
- Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Recap: ( MAP = DBP + \frac{1}{3}(SBP - DBP) ) is a critical indicator of perfusion pressure to organs.
