Review of Heart Muscle• Cardiocytes, myocardium• Branched cells• Intercalated discs- (desmosomes)
and electrical junctions (gap junctions).
• Has actin and myosin filaments
• Has low resistance (1/400 the resistance of cell membrane)
• Atrial syncytium: Network of connecting cardiac cells
• Ventricular syncytium:Network of connecting cardiac cells
• Fibrous insulator exists (Bundle of His)between atrium and ventricle (what would this do to any electrical activity trying to go through?)

• If the electrical signals from the atria were conducted directly into the ventricles across the AV septum, the ventricles would start to contract at the top (base). Then the blood would be squeezed downward and trapped at the bottom of the ventricle.
• The apex to base contraction squeezes blood toward the arterial opening at the base of the heart.
• The AV node also delays the transmission of action potentials slightly, allowing the atria to complete their contraction before the ventricles begin their contraction. This AV nodal delay is accomplished by the naturally slow conduction through the AV node cells. (Why are they slow conductors? Small diameter cells, fewer channels)

Fibers within the heart• Specialized Fibers
– are the fibers that can spontaneously initiate an AP all by themselves!
– The AP will spread to all other fibers via gap junctions
– AKA “leading cells”– But they are also muscle, so they do contract, albeit
feebly!– They are not nerves!!!!
• Contractile Fibers– These maintain their RMP forever, unless brought to
threshold by some other cell– They cannot generate an AP by themselves– AKA “following cells”– But they do have gap junctions, so once they’re
triggered, they will help spread the AP to neighbors.

Pathway of Heartbeat• Begins in the sinoatrial (S-A)
node• Internodal pathway to
atrioventricular (A-V) node • Impulse delayed in A-V node
(allows atria to contract before ventricles)
• A-V bundle takes impulse into ventricles
• Left and right bundles of Purkinje fibers take impulses to all parts of ventricles
KEY Red = specialized cells;
all else = contractile cells

A-V Bundles(Bundle of His)• Only conducting path
between atria and ventricles
• Divides into left and right bundles
• Time delay of 0.04sec
Purkinje System
• Fast conduction; many gap junctions at
intercalated disks

How can these Specialized fibers spontaneously “fire?”
• Can’t hold stable resting membrane potential
• Potentials drift (gradual depolarization)
• During this time, they have a gradually increasing perm to Na+ and less leaky to K+ (more “+” inside causes cell to depolarize, remember?)
Na+

Specialized fibers
Notice slow rise from rest to threshold.
This is called the “prepotential” or “pacemaker potential”
Only specialized fibers of the heart can do this.
This is what gives the heart it’s rhythm.

Specialized fibers of conductive system• These rhythms can
ALSO be modified by the ANS
• Neurotransmitters can cause faster or slower rise to threshold by altering ion permeability.
• Acetylcholine (ACh) slows the heart rate (parasympathetic division of ANS)
• Norepinephrine (NE) speeds up the heart rate (sympathetic division of ANS) K+ efflux
![Page 10: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Sympathetic – speeds heart rate by Ca++ & Na+ channel influx and K+ permeability/efflux (increases sodium and calcium permeability)• Parasympathetic – slows rate by K+ efflux & Ca++ influx (decreases sodium and calcium
permeability)
• Which neurotransmitter will cause your heart to pound rapidly?– Norepinephrine
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

Blood Flow (L/min)
• Blood flow is the quantity of blood that passes a given point in the circulation in a given period of time.
• Overall flow in the circulation of an adult is 5 liters/min which is the cardiac output.
• HR = heart rate
• SV = stroke volume
• CO= HR X SV
• 70 b/min x 70 ml/beat =4900ml/min
![Page 57: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Ventricular Ejection Volume = Stroke Volume
• Stroke Volume (SV)– amount ejected, ~ 70 ml
• End Diastolic Volume (EDV)• SV/EDV= ejection fraction,
– at rest ~ 60% – during vigorous exercise as
high as 90%– diseased heart < 50%
• End-systolic volume: amount left in heart (50ml)
![Page 58: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Cardiac Output (CO)
• Amount ejected by a ventricle in Amount ejected by a ventricle in 1 minute1 minute• CO = HR x SVCO = HR x SV• Resting values, 4- 6 L/minResting values, 4- 6 L/min• Vigorous exercise, 21 L/min Vigorous exercise, 21 L/min • Cardiac reserve: difference Cardiac reserve: difference
between maximum and resting CObetween maximum and resting CO
If resting CO = 6 L/min and after exercise increases to 21 L/min, what is the cardiac reserve?
CR = 21 – 6CR = 15 L/min

Volumes and Fraction
• End diastolic volume = 120 ml• End systolic volume = 50 ml• Ejection volume (stroke volume) = 70 ml• Ejection fraction = 70ml/120ml = 58%
(normally 60%)• If heart rate (HR) is 70 beats/minute, what is
cardiac output?• Cardiac output = HR * stroke volume
= 70/min. * 70 ml = 4900ml/min.
![Page 60: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Questions
• If EDV = 120 ml and ESV = 50 ml:
• What is the SV?• 120-50 = 70 ml
• What is the EF?• 70/120 = 58%
• What is the CO if HR is 70 bpm?• 70/bpm * 70 ml = 4900ml/min.

Ohm’s Law• Q=P/R• Flow (Q) through a blood
vessel which is the same thing as saying Cardiac Output (CO) through the heart, is determined by:
• 1) The pressure difference (P) between the two ends of the circulatory tube (arteries and veins)– Directly related to flow
• 2) Resistance (R) of the vessel– Inversely related to flow
![Page 62: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Clinical Significance
• Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg.• 120 represents systolic pressure, and 80
represents diastolic pressure. The average of these two pressures is 100 mm Hg120 + 80 = 200200/2 = 100 (the average)
• Therefore, the average pressure in the first vessel leaving the heart (the aorta) is 100 mm Hg.
• “100 mm Hg” means the amount of pressure required to lift a column of mercury 100 mm in the air. This is how the original blood pressure cuffs work.
![Page 63: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Clinical Significance
• In a normal person, the arterial pressure is 100 and the pressure in the veins is 0 (if there were any pressure in the capillaries, they would blow out, so blood pressure drops to zero by the time it gets there, and stays at zero in the veins.
• The pressure difference (P) is normally100 – 0 = 100
Remember, Cardiac Output (CO) is normally about 5 liters per minute.
![Page 64: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Clinical Significance
• Therefore, applying Ohm’s Law (Q=P/R) to a normal person, we get this:
5 = 100/RSolving for R:R = 100/5R = 20 PRU
• That means that the normal amount of resistance in the blood vessels is 20 PRU (peripheral resistance units).
• Overall, the values for a normal person are:5 = 100/20
![Page 65: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Clinical Significance:Solve for Q (cardiac output)
• A person might have blood pressure higher than normal.– They ate too much salt, so they are retaining water
• A patient has blood pressure of 140/100, yet their last BP reading a few weeks ago was 120/80. When questioned, the patient said they ate a lot of salt and drank a lot of water yesterday.
• Problem: What is their cardiac output right now? We can assume the resistance in their blood vessels is normal since their BP was normal recently.
• Solution: First find the average arterial pressure(140 + 100)/2 = 120
• Then apply Ohm’s Law (Q=P/R) x = 120/20x = 6 (Cardiac output increases)
The heart is pumping with more force than normal. Since it takes more time to pump a larger bolus, the heart rate is slower.
![Page 66: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Clinical Significance• A person might have blood pressure lower than normal.
– They are dehydrated
• A patient has blood pressure of 60/40, yet their last BP reading a few weeks ago was 120/80. When questioned, the patient said they just got back from a hike and they are thirsty.
• Problem: What is their cardiac output right now? We can assume the resistance in their blood vessels is normal since their BP was normal recently.
• Solution: First find the average arterial pressure(60 + 40)/2 = 50
• Then apply Ohm’s Law (Q=P/R) x = 50/20x = 2.5 (Cardiac output decreases)
The heart is pumping with less force than normal. Since it takes less time to pump a smaller bolus, the heart rate is faster.
![Page 67: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Clinical Significance• What is CO if you change the resistance?• A patient might have higher vessel resistance if they
have clogged arteries (atherosclerosis) or calcium deposits in the arteries (arteriosclerosis).
• Problem: What is the cardiac output in a patient with BP of 120/80 and a higher than normal resistance? Let’s say R = 30.
• Apply Ohm’s Law (Q=P/R)
x = 100/30
x = 3.3 (Cardiac output decreases)
The heart is pumping with less force than normal. Since it takes less time to pump a smaller bolus, the heart rate is faster.
Therefore, someone with a slow heart rate and large cardiac output might be suffering from either a condition relating to high peripheral resistance or from low blood pressure.
![Page 68: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Clinical Significance• Problem: What is the cardiac output in a patient with BP
of 120/80 and a lower than normal resistance? Let’s say R = 10.
• Apply Ohm’s Law (Q=P/R)
x = 100/10
x = 10 (Cardiac output increases)
The heart is pumping with more force than normal. Since it takes more time to pump a larger bolus, the heart rate is slower.
Therefore, someone with a slow heart rate and large cardiac output might be suffering from either a condition relating to low peripheral resistance or from high blood pressure.
![Page 69: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Now let’s solve for P (change in pressure) instead of Q (cardiac output)
• P means subtracting the pressure in the veins (P2) from the average pressure in the arteries (P1).
• Therefore, P = P1 – P2• Since P2 (blood pressure in the veins) is always 0, for
our purposes, you could just write P instead of P.• P symbolizes blood pressure. Since BP is written
systolic/diastolic, you add up both pressures and take the average.
• The average person’s blood pressure is 120/80, so the overall average pressure in the aorta is about 100 mm
Hg.
![Page 70: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Solve for P

P = QR
P = (5)(50)
P = 250 (normal would be 100)
The person would have high blood pressure.

P = 80 (normal would be 100)
The person would have lower blood pressure.

Now let’s solve for R
• What would you expect the peripheral resistance to be in a person who has decreased cardiac output (dehydration)? Let’s say Q = 4
R = P/Q
R = 100/4
R = 25 (normal would be 20)
The person would have higher than normal resistance.

Solve for R
• What would you expect the peripheral resistance to be in a person who has increased cardiac output (over-hydration)? Let’s say Q = 6
R = P/Q
R = 100/6
R = 16 (normal would be 20)
The person would have lower than normal resistance.
![Page 76: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

Summary of Ohm’s Law• Q=P/R• 1) As the cardiac output (Q)
goes up, the pressure difference (P) goes up. They are directly related.
• 2) As Q goes up, Resistance (R) of the vessel goes down. They are inversely related.
• Remember, cardiac output is initially determined by this formula: CO= HR X SV
• Don’t get that formula confused with Ohm’s Law, which just shows the relationship between CO, blood pressure, and peripheral resistance.

Brain Centers involved in Short Term BP Control
Vasomotor Adjusts peripheral
resistance by adjusting sympathetic output to the arterioles
Cardioinhibitory- transmits signals via vagus nerve to heart to decrease heart rate. (parasympathetic)
Cardioacceleratory/ contractility-sympathetic output
![Page 86: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

Vasomotor control: Sympathetic Innervationof Blood Vessels
Sympathetic nerve fibers innervate all vessels except capillaries and precapillary sphincters (precapillary
sphincters follow local control)
Innervation of small arteries and arterioles allow sympathetic nerves to increase vascular resistance.
Large veins and the heart are also sympathetically innervated.

Anatomy of the BaroreceptorsBaroreceptors are nerve endings
that respond to stretch in a blood vessel.
They are located at the carotid bifurcation (between common carotid and internal/external carotid arteries). This area is called the carotid sinus.
There are also baroreceptors in the walls of the aortic arch.
Signals from the carotid sinus are transmitted by the glossopharyngeal nerves .
Signals from the arch of the aorta are transmitted by CNX (vagus nerve).
Baroreceptors are important in short term regulation of arterial blood pressure. Figure 18-5; Guyton and Hall
![Page 88: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
88
Baroreceptor Response to Arterial Pressure
As pressure increases the number of impulses from carotid sinus increases which results in:1) inhibition of vasoconstricton (so
the blood vessels dilate, which lowers blood pressure)
2) activation of the vagal center (lowers blood pressure)

Drugs Affecting CO• Atropine- blocks parasympathetic
system (increase in sympathetic responses)
• Pilocarpine- drug that causes skeletal muscle neurons to release ACH, which decreases heart rate.
• Propranalol- blocks sympathetic effect of heart. This causes decreased heart rate and force of contraction, and lowers blood pressure.
![Page 91: Electrical Properties of the Heart](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813cbe550346895da66bb3/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Drugs Affecting CO (2)
• Digoxin (shorter ½ life) or Digitoxin- come from group of drugs derived from digitalis. Digitalis derived from foxglove plant. Slows heart rate but increases force of contraction. Is only drug with this effect on heart. – Disadvantage of using
digitalis is that it’s extremely toxic. The optimal dose is very close to lethal dose- stops heart

Causes of Edema• Excessive accumulation of tissue
fluid.• Edema may result from:
– High arterial blood pressure.– Venous obstruction.– Leakage of plasma proteins
into interstitial fluid.– Valve problems– Cardiac failure– Decreased plasma protein.– Obstruction of lymphatic
drainage. – Elephantiasis
