Cardio Heart
Vascular Vessels
A system in which blood is pumped by heart, and through vessels blood circulates to all parts of body.
• Pulmonary Circulation: Circulation takes place between the heart and
lungs.
• Coronary Circulation: Blood circulates to the heart muscles
• Systemic Circulation: Blood circulates from heart to all parts of the
body.
• – Pumps or pushes blood through body
• - Routes blood travels
• – Carries important “ * stuff * ” through body
* Stuff – includes oxygen, food, & waste
The average adult has about FIVE liters of blood inside of their body, which makes up 7-8% of their body weight.
Blood is living tissue that carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, and carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for disposal. It also fights against infection and helps heal wounds, so we can stay healthy.
There are about one billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. For every 600 red blood cells, there are about 40 platelets and one white cell.
Blood temperature is about 38°C.
PH range is about 7.35 To 7.45 (slightly alkaline).
• PlasmaLiquid part of blood
• Red Blood Cells
They carry oxygen to all parts of the body
• White Blood Cells
Fight and kill germs that may enter your bloodstream
• Platelets
–Form “scabs” when you cut yourself
–Helps stop the bleeding

• Scientists sometimes study Rhesus monkeys to learn more about the human anatomy because there are certain similarities between the two species. While studying Rhesus monkeys, a certain blood protein was discovered. This protein is also present in the blood of some people. Other people, however, do not have the protein.
• The presence of the protein, or lack of it, is referred to as the Rh (for Rhesus) factor.
• If your blood does contain the protein, your blood is said to be Rh positive (Rh+). If your blood does not contain the protein, your blood is said to be Rh negative (Rh-).

A blood transfusion is a procedure in which blood is given to a patient through an intravenous (IV) line in one of the blood vessels. Blood transfusions are done to replace blood lost during surgery or a serious injury. A transfusion also may be done if a person’s body can't make blood properly because of an illness.
Who can give you blood?
People with TYPE O blood are called Universal Donors, because they can give blood to any blood type.
People with TYPE AB blood are called Universal Recipients, because they can receive any blood type.

Arteries and arterioles carry blood away from heart
Capillaries site of exchange
Venules, veins return blood to heart
• Hollow, muscular organ
• 300 grams (size of a fist)
• found in chest between lungs
• 4 chambers
• surrounded by membrane called Pericardium
• Pericardial space is fluid-filled to nourish and protect the heart.
• Hold out your hand and make a fist. If one is a kid, heart is about the same size as the fist, and if one is an adult, it's about the same size as two fists. the heart weighs a mere 300 grams.
• Heart beats about 100,000 times in one day, about 35 million times in a year and moves 7200 liters (1900 gallons) of blood every day. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
• If we give a tennis ball a good, hard squeeze. We're using about the same amount of force uur heart uses to pump blood out to the body. Even at rest, the muscles of the heart work hard--twice as hard as the leg muscles of a person sprinting.
• Pumps blood through 62,000 miles of vessels
• Suffers 7.2 mil. CAD deaths worldwide each year
• The heart is enclosed in a sac called Pericardial Sac containing Pericardial Fluid to provide protection to the Heart
• The Heart wall consist of three layers
– Endocardium
– Myocardium
– Epicardium
• Adjacent cardiac muscle cells connected by intercalated discs
• Forms atrial and ventricular syncytia, action potential spreads throughout myocardium so atria contract as a single unit, ventricles contract as a single unit (a fraction of a second later)
• Myogenic: cardiac muscle cells can contract without direct stimulation from CNS
• Neurogenic: autonomic nervous system can change heart rate
• Action potential– Rapid depolarization (fast Na+ channels)– Plateau phase (slow Ca+2 channels)– Repolarization (slow K+ channels)
*plateau phase makes action potential in cardiac muscle much longer (~300 msec) than action potential in skeletal muscle (~100 msec)
• 4 valves, located in fibrous skeleton between atria and ventricles
• 2 atrioventricular valves (AV valves)– Right AV valve = tricuspid valve– Left AV valve = bicuspid v. = mitral v.
• 2 semilunar valves– Pulmonary semilunar valve– Aortic semilunar valve
• Atrioventricular valves, prevent blood flowing back into atria during ventricular contraction
• Tricuspid valve = right AV valve• Bicuspid valve = mitral valve = left AV valve• Attached to edges of AV valves are chordae
tendineae (dense regular CT)• Papillary muscles pull on chordae tendineae
during ventricular contraction to hold valve closed against the high pressure in the ventricles
• Between ventricles and the large blood vessels that leave the ventricles (pulmonary trunk, aorta)
• 3 flaps each, no chordae tendineae or papillary muscles needed
• The heart is two pumps that work together, right (pulmonary) and left (systemic) half
• Repetitive, sequential contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) of heart chambers
• Blood moves through circulatory system from areas of higher to lower pressure.– Contraction of heart produces the
pressure
• Coronary circulation is the functional blood supply to the heart muscle itself
• Collateral routes ensure blood delivery to heart even if major vessels are occluded
• Heart contracts as a unit
• Atrial and ventricular syncytia help conductelectrical signals through the heart
• Sinoatrial (S-A) node is continuous with atrialsyncytium
• S-A node cells can initiate impulses on theirown; activity is rhythmic
• Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervoussystems
• Parasympathetic: from medulla oblongata(vagus nerve)
• Nerve branches to S-A and A-V nodes, andsecretes acetylcholine (slows rate)
• Parasympathetic activity can increase (slowheart rate) or decrease (increase heart rate)
• Sympathetic nervous system through celiac plexus to heart secretes
norepinephrine. increases force of contractions
• Cardiac control center in medulla oblongata maintains balance between the two
• Normally both sympathetic and parasympathetic function at a steady background level
• 12 leads (3 bipolar and 9 unipolar)
• P wave – atrial depolarization – lasts 0.08s (0.1s to atrial contraction)
• QRS complex – ventricular depolarization – size dependant – lasts 0.08s
• T wave – ventricular repolarization – lasts 0.16s
• Enlarged R may be enlarged ventricles
• Flattened T may mean cardiac ischemia
• Prolonged Q-T interval may be ventricular arrhythmias
• Absent or flattened P may be atrial fibrillation
• No QRS with every P is “heart block” (normally 1:1 whole number ratio)

• Generates blood pressure
• Routes blood– Heart separates pulmonary and systemic
circulation
• Ensures one-way blood flow– Heart valves ensure one-way flow
• Regulates blood supply– Changes in contraction rate and force match blood
delivery to changing metabolic needs– Most healthy people can increase cardiac output
by 300–500%
• Heart failure is the inability of the heart to provide enough blood flow to maintain normal metabolism
• Peripheral Resistance
• Cardiac Output
• Blood Pressure
• Heart Rate
• Stroke Volume
• Pre load
• After load
• Contractility
• The resistance exerted by walls of the arteries & arterioles to passage of blood
• Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) - the sum of all forces that oppose blood flow
– Length of vasculature (L)– Blood viscosity (V)– Vessel radius (r)
TPR = ( 8 ) ( V ) ( L )
( Λ ) ( r 4 )
Cardiac Output: Volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per minute
Heart Rate: Number of times the heart contracts per minute
Stroke Volume: Amount of blood pumped out by the left ventricle per beat
Cardiac output =heart rate x stroke volume
BP = CO x PR
• Pressure exerted by blood on the arterial walls
• A result of pumping action of heart (CO) & resistance offered by arteries to blood flow (PR)
• Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) pressure measured in brachial artery during systole (ventricular emptying and ventricular contraction period)
• Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) pressure measured in brachial artery during diastole (ventricular filling and ventricular relaxation)
(EDV) volume of the left ventricle at the end of diastole dependent on venous return & compliance (“stretch ability”) of ventricle
Load on the heart created by volume of blood injected into the LV by the LA, (I.e., at the end of ventricular diastole) and that it must eject with each contraction.
Resistance to ventricular emptying during systole or The amount of pressure the left ventricle must generate to squeeze blood into the aorta. In a healthy heart this is synonymous with Aortic Pressure & Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) "average" pressure throughout the cardiac cycle against the walls of the proximal systemic arteries (aorta)
estimated as: .33(SBP - DBP) + DBP
The squeezing contractile force that the heart can develop at a given preload
Regulated by:
• Sympathetic nerve activity (most influential)• Catecholamines (epinephrine norepinephrine)• Amount of contractile mass • Drugs
End Diastolic Volume (EDV)Volume at the end of diastole(end of ventricular filling). In a healthy heart this is directly proportional to venous return
End Systolic Volume (ESV)Volume at the end of systole(end of ventricular contraction)
Stroke Volume (SV) = EDV - ESV
Ejection Fraction (EF) = SV EDV
Left ventricular norm for EF at Rest: approximately 62%
Left Ventricular norms for Max Exercise: approximately 80%
NOTE: Resting Ejection Fraction (EF) is the best indicator of both heart performance and heart disease prognosis

Chronically elevated blood pressure:
Systolic > 140 mmHgDiastolic > 90 mmHg
90% of unknown cause – Essential Hypertension
Invariably associated with an increase inperipheral resistance
Hypertension is a risk factor for atherosclerosis:
High B.P. damages the endothelial cells liningblood vessels promoting formation of atherosclerotic plaque
Extra strain on heart as must pump blood against Increased peripheral resistance, LVH develops.
Eventually LV cannot meet work load - outputdeclines. If output from right side of heart remainsconstant - pulmonary oedema develops, oxygen exchange declines –heart further weakened Congestive Heart Failure

Renin Inhibitors
Sources: liver and diet
Uses in body: molecule from which steroid hormones and bile manufactured, component of cell membranes
Transport in blood: high density lipoproteins (HDL) low density lipoproteins (LDL) (not VLDL--those are chylomicrons)
atheromas (smooth muscle cell proliferation)+sclerosis (proliferation of fibrous connective tissue)
1. Injury to artery wall by invasion of LDLs, oxidized cholesterol, free radicals, high blood pressure, chemicals from fat cells, or bacterial-induced inflammation.2. Endothelial cells recruit WBCs to site3. WBCs attack LDL site and form fatty streak4. Proliferation of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue5. Ca++ deposited and “hardens” vessel 6. Plaque= LDL, muscle cells, fibrous tissue, Ca++, WBCs
Artery less distensible due to plaque:
1. Reduced ability to produce nitric oxide
2. Ca++ makes plaque hard
3. Fibrous tissue less distensible than normal
And…1. Blockage can reduce or cut off blood flow2. Plaque’s rough edges can stimulate clot formation
Most strokes occur when arteries are blocked by blood clots or by the gradual build-up of plaque and other fatty deposits.
Some strokes can be caused by arteries rupturing when weak spots on the blood vessel wall break.
Stroke is the third most common cause of death in developed countries.
It is higher in black African than in Caucasian, more common in males and uncommon below the age of 40 years.
