Key Concepts Covered: 1. Overview of Cardiac Output (CO): Formula: CO = Heart Rate (HR) × Stroke Volume (SV). Regulation affects pacemaker activity or myocardial contraction. 2. Regulation Categories: Myogenic Regulation: Heterometric Regulation: Frank-Starling Mechanism: Increased end-diastolic volume (EDV) stretches cardiomyocytes, enhancing contraction and increasing SV. Homeometric Regulation: Bowditch Effect (Staircase Effect): Increased HR strengthens contractions due to enhanced calcium handling in cells. Neural Regulation: Involves the nervous system, divided into extracardiac and intracardiac regulation. Extracardiac Regulation: Sympathetic Nervous System: Increases HR, contractility, and CO via norepinephrine and epinephrine acting on β1-adrenergic receptors. Activates ion channels to enhance calcium influx, increasing contraction strength and speed. Parasympathetic Nervous System: Reduces HR and conduction velocity via acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors. Inhibits adenylyl cyclase, decreasing cAMP levels and activating K+ channels to hyperpolarize the membrane. Medullary Control: Integrates input from baroreceptors and chemoreceptors to modulate autonomic nervous system activity. Intracardiac Regulation: Intramural ganglia modulate cardiac function independent of direct CNS control. Humoral Regulation: Involves hormones in the blood influencing HR, contractility, and CO. Epinephrine: Released by adrenal medulla, activating β1-adrenergic receptors. Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS): Angiotensin II increases contractility, vasoconstriction, and blood volume. Aldosterone promotes sodium and water reabsorption, increasing blood pressure and CO. Thyroid Hormones (T3): Increase HR and contractility by influencing gene expression and ion channel activity. Glucocorticoids: Enhance myocardial contractility and adrenergic receptor sensitivity. Natriuretic Peptides (ANP, BNP): Reduce blood volume and pressure by promoting sodium and water excretion. 3. Ion Regulation: Calcium: Hypercalcemia increases contractility, shortening the QT interval. Hypocalcemia decreases contractility, prolonging the QT interval. Potassium: Hyperkalemia depolarizes cells, increasing arrhythmia risk. Hypokalemia reduces excitability, making depolarization more difficult. By understanding these regulatory mechanisms, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how the body maintains cardiac function under various physiological conditions. #cardiacphysiology #heartfunction #extracardiac #ecg #medicaleducation #usmlepreparation #nursingeducation #premed #heartanatomy Sources: University lectures and notes Barrett, K.

What is Cardiac Output? Definition: The amount of blood ejected from each ventricle per minute. Formula: Cardiac Output = Heart Rate (bpm) × Stroke Volume (L/beat) Units: Measured in liters per minute (L/min). Visualizing Cardiac Output Heart Anatomy: Right and left atria, ventricles, aorta. Cardiac Cycle Phases: Atrial systole Isovolumetric contraction Ejection phase (systolic phase) Isovolumetric relaxation Passive filling phase (common diastolic phase) Stroke Volume: Amount of blood ejected per beat (~50-100 ml). Heart Rate: Number of beats per minute. Factors Determining Cardiac Output Heart Rate: Increased HR typically increases cardiac output, but >150 bpm may reduce it due to inadequate ventricular filling. Stroke Volume: Depends on: Venous Return: More blood entering the heart leads to greater output. Contractility: Stronger contractions eject more blood. Aortic Resistance: Higher resistance (hypertension, plaque) reduces stroke volume. Normal Cardiac Output At Rest: ~5-7 L/min During Exercise: ~15-30 L/min Pressure-Volume Relationship Diastolic Phase: Ventricular filling, gradual pressure increase. Systolic Phase: Ventricular contraction, pressure rises then falls. Isovolumetric Phases: Contraction and relaxation phases with no volume change. Clinical Relevance Pressure-Volume Curves: Assess heart function, muscle efficiency, and valve health. Abnormal PV Loops: Right Shift: Increased preload (more blood in, more ejected). Increased Afterload: Higher aortic pressure, harder for the heart to eject blood. Increased Contractility: Stronger contractions, more blood ejected. Factors Affecting Cardiac Output Preload: Volume of blood before contraction. Afterload: Resistance ventricles overcome to eject blood. Contractility: Strength of ventricular contraction. Regulation of Heartbeat Mechanisms: Myogenic, neural, and humoral regulation. Conclusion Summary: Discussed cardiac output, pressure-volume curve, and effects of preload, afterload, and contractility.
