Study Notes
Cardiac Cycle and Stroke Volume
- Diastole Phase: Characterized by the heart at rest and ventricles filling with blood.
- Stroke Volume (SV) Equation: SV = End-Diastolic Volume (EDV) - End-Systolic Volume (ESV).
- Preload: The degree of stretching of the heart muscle cells during diastole affects stroke volume.
Exercise Effects on Volumes and Stroke Volume
- End-Diastolic Volume (EDV) & End-Systolic Volume (ESV): Both EDV increases and ESV decreases during exercise.
- Average Stroke Volume: Approximately 70 mL per beat in a healthy adult.
- Venous Return Influences: Factors like gravity affect blood returning to the heart.
Stroke Volume Changes
- Increased EDV and Decreased ESV: Lead to an increase in stroke volume.
- Factors Increasing Stroke Volume During Exercise: Increased preload and heart rate contribute to higher stroke volume.
Cardiac Output and Ejection Fraction
- Ejection Fraction Calculation: EF = (Stroke Volume / End-Diastolic Volume) x 100%.
- Cardiac Output (Q) Equation: Q = Heart Rate (HR) x Stroke Volume (SV).
Blood Pressure Dynamics
- Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) During Exercise: Typically increases with exercise intensity.
- Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Equation: MAP = DBP + 1/3(SBP - DBP).
- Pulse Pressure Calculation: Pulse Pressure = SBP - DBP = 120 mmHg - 80 mmHg = 40 mmHg.
Blood Flow and Vasodilation
- Poiseuille's Law: Factors influencing blood flow rate include radius, viscosity, and pressure difference; flow rate is unaffected by blood viscosity changes at low Re (Reynolds number).
- Vasodilation Effects: Leads to increased blood flow by widening blood vessels.
Relationship in Circulatory Dynamics
- Flow, Pressure, and Resistance Equation: Q = P / R indicates inversely proportional relationships between resistance and flow.
- Viscosity and Shear Stress: Related by η = τ / ɣ̇, where η is viscosity, τ is shear stress, and ɣ̇ is shear rate.
Static vs. Dynamic Exercise Effects
- Static Exercise: Less contribution to decreased stroke volume compared to dynamic exercise.
- Dynamic vs. Static: Dynamic exercise typically results in a greater increase in heart rate.
Gender Differences
- Cardiac Output and Stroke Volume: Females generally have higher HR and Q but lower SV than males at the same absolute work rate.
- Heart Size: Males possess a larger heart size compared to females.
- Red Blood Cell Count: Males typically have higher RBC count and hematocrit levels.
Aging Population Dynamics
- Stroke Volume and Heart Rate: Older individuals tend to have smaller stroke volumes and higher heart rates at the same absolute HR.
- Blood Pressure Changes: Resting and exercise BP is generally higher in older individuals compared to younger counterparts.
- Dynamic Exercise Efficiency: Dynamic exercise is more effective in allowing larger volumes of blood to be pumped around the body compared to static exercise.
