The Heart Chapter 19 & 20 • Circulatory System – heart, blood vessels and blood • Cardiovascular System – heart, arteries, veins and capillaries • 2 major divisions – Pulmonary circuit - right side of heart • carries blood to lungs for gas exchange – Systemic circuit - left side of heart • supplies blood to all organs of the body • • • • Heart Anatomy Cardiac Cycle Myocardial Physiology Cardiac Conduction System and Innervation • Coronary Circulation • Blood Pressure Cardiovascular System Circuit • Cardiovascular System consists of: – heart, arteries, veins and capillaries • 2 major divisions – Pulmonary Circuit right side of heart carries blood to lungs for gas exchange – Systemic Circuit left side of heart supplies blood to all organs of the body Heart Shape and Position • Heart is located in the mediastinum, between lungs • Base of the heart is the broad superior portion of heart • Apex of the heart is the inferior end, tilts to the left, tapers to point Heart Position Pericardium • Pericardium consists of the membranes around the heart that allows the heart to beat with minimal friction, provides room for the heart to expand but resists excessive expansion. • Pericardial Sac (also called the parietal pericardium) is the membrane that loosely surrounds the heart. Pericardial sac has 2 layers: – Fibrous layer: outer, tough, fibrous layer of CT – Serous layer: inner, thin, smooth, moist membrane • Pericardial Cavity is the space between heart and pericardial sac that is filled with pericardial fluid that acts as a lubricant. • Visceral Pericardium (also called the epicardium) is the thin, smooth, moist serous layer that covers heart surface. Figure 19.3 Pericardium and Heart Wall 3 Layers of the Heart Wall • Epicardium (visceral pericardium) – serous membrane covers heart • Myocardium – thick muscular layer – fibrous skeleton - network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers • provides structural support • attachment for cardiac muscle • nonconductor important in coordinating contractile activity • Endocardium – smooth inner lining – equivalent to the lining of blood vessels Figure 19.3 3 layers of the Heart Wall Bacterial Endocarditis Gross pathology of subacute bacterial endocarditis involving mitral valve.

Ewing, Jr. http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/ghaffar/bord-hemo.htm Cardiac Cycle • One complete contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) of all 4 chambers of the heart followed by a brief period of inactivity: Cardiac Cycle Animation http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/1135/Links/Animations/Flas h/0028-swf_the_cardiac_cy.swf Heart Sounds • Heart sounds as heard through a stethoscope are due to turbulent flow of blood as heart valves close. Auscultation - listening to sounds made by body. • First heart sound (S1) is louder and longer, sounds like “LUBB”, occurs when the AV valves close. • Second heart sound (S2), is softer and sharper, sounds like “DUPP”, occurs when the semilunar valves close. • S3 – rarely audible in people older than 30 – known as triple rhythm or gallop. Heart Sounds • S1 and S2 sounds of normal rhythm can be simulated by drumming two fingers on a table. • If there is a third heart sound (S3) it can be simulated by drumming three fingers on a table, and it is described as a “gallop”. • The cause of each heart sound is not known with certainty, but they are correlated with specific phases of the cardiac cycle. http://egeneralmedical.com/egeneralmedical/listohearmur.html http://www.3m.com/us/healthcare/professionals/littmann/jhtml/ sounds/normal_first_and_second_heart_sounds.jhtml Phases of Cardiac Cycle 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Quiescent period Ventricular filling Isovolumetric contraction Ventricular ejection Isovolumetric relaxation 1) Quiescent period – all chambers relaxed – AV valves open – blood flowing into ventricles 2) Ventricular Filling – SA node fires, atria depolarize – P wave appears on ECG – atria contract, force additional blood into ventricles – ventricles now contain end-diastolic volume (EDV) of about 130 ml of blood 3) Isovolumetric Contraction of Ventricles • Atria repolarize and relax • Ventricles depolarize • QRS complex appears in ECG • Ventricles contract • Rising pressure closes AV valves - heart sound S1 occurs • No ejection of blood (no change in volume) 4) Ventricular Ejection • Rising pressure opens semilunar valves • Rapid ejection of blood • Stroke volume: amount ejected – about 70 ml at rest • End-systolic volume: amount left in heart • SV/EDV= ejection fraction, at rest ~ 54%, during vigorous exercise as high as 90%, diseased heart < 50% • Both ventricles must eject same amount of blood 5) Isovolumetric Relaxation of Ventricles • T wave appears in ECG • Ventricles repolarize and relax (begin to expand and fill) • Semilunar valves close (dicrotic notch of aortic pressure curve) - heart sound S2 occurs • AV valves remain closed (not shown) • Ventricles expand but do not fill so there is no change in volume (not shown) Cardiac Output (CO) • Amount ejected by each ventricle in 1 minute • CO = Heart Rate (beats/min) x Stroke Volume (ml/beat) • Resting values, CO = 75 beats/min x70 ml/beat = 5,250 ml/min, usually about 4 to 6 liters/min • Vigorous exercise CO to 21 L/min for fit person and up to 35 L/min for world class athlete • Cardiac reserve: difference between a person’s maximum CO and resting CO – with fitness, with disease • Right Ventricle and Left Ventricle eject the same amount of blood. Preload • Preload is the amount of tension in ventricular myocardium before it contracts. • preload causes contraction strength – exercise venous return, stretches myocardium ( preload) , myocytes generate more tension during contraction, CO matches venous return • Frank-Starling law of heart: StrokeVolume End Diastolic Volume – ventricles eject as much blood as they receive; The more they are stretched ( preload) the harder they contract. Unbalanced Ventricular Output Unbalanced Ventricular Output Heart Rate • • • • • • Heart Rate (HR) can be measured from pulse. Infants have HR of 120 beats per minute or more Young adult females average 72 - 80 bpm Young adult males average 64 to 72 bpm HR rises again in the elderly Indurance trained athletes have resting heart rates around 40 bpm – Miguel Indurain, 5 time Tour de France winner (1991-1995), had a resting heart rate of 28 bpm and a cardiac output of 50 liters/minute Heart Rate • Tachycardia: persistent, resting adult HR > 100 – can be caused by stress, anxiety, drugs, heart disease or body temperature • Bradycardia: persistent, resting adult HR < 60 – common during sleep and also in endurance trained athletes Sympathetic Nervous System • Cardioacceleratory Center – stimulates sympathetic nerves to SA node, AV node and myocardium – these nerves secrete norepinephrine, which binds to -adrenergic receptors in the heart – CO normally peaks at HR of 160 to 180 bpm – Sympathetic n.s. can HR up to 230 bpm, (limited by refractory period of SA node), but SV and CO (less filling time) Parasympathetic Nervous System • Cardioinhibitory Center – stimulates vagus nerves • right vagus nerve - SA node • left vagus nerve - AV node – secrete ACh (acetylcholine), binds to muscarinic receptors • opens K+ channels in nodal cells, hyperpolarized, fire less frequently, HR slows down – vagal tone: background firing rate holds HR to sinus rhythm of 70 to 80 bpm • severed vagus nerves results in the SA node firing at its intrinsic rate of about 100bpm • maximum vagal stimulation HR as low as 20 bpm Structure of Cardiac Muscle • Short, thick, branched cells with central nuclei. • Sarcoplasmic reticulum is less developed than in skeletal muscle. – cardiac cells must get more Ca2+ from extracellular fluid during excitation • T-tubules are invaginations of sarcolemma (muscle cell plasma membrane) that carry depolarization into the cells. • Intercalated Discs, join cells end to end. – interdigitating folds - surface area for strength and communication – mechanical junctions tightly join cells • adherent junctions and desmosomes – electrical junctions • gap junctions form channels that allow ions to flow directly from cell to cell to synchronize contractions Intercalated Disk Cardiac Muscle Histology Metabolism of Cardiac Muscle • Fatigue resistant aerobic respiration • Cells have abundant myoglobin – most tissues extract about 25% of the oxygen from the blood as it circulates, but cardiac muscle extracts about 65% of the oxygen • Abundant, large mitochondria • Organic fuels: fatty acids, glucose, glycogen, ketones Cardiac Conduction System • Cardiac Conduction System is Myogenic - heartbeat originates within heart • Cardiac Conduction System is Autorhythmic – heartbeats are regular and spontaneous Cardiac Conduction System • Cardiac Conduction System Components: – Cardiac Conduction System is composed of Nodes and Bundles of specialized cardiac cells. – Sinoatrial (SA) Node is the pacemaker that initiates heartbeat and sets heart rate. – Atrioventricular (AV) node is an electrical relay to the ventricles – AV bundle (bundle of His) is a pathway for signals from the AV node to muscles of ventricles. – Right and left bundle branches are divisions of the AV bundle that enter the interventricular septum and descend to the apex. – Purkinje Fibers project upward from apex and spread throughout ventricular myocardium. – Moderator Band is a muscular bundle of heart tissue crossing the ventricular cavity from the interventricular septum to the base of the paillary muscles of the right ventricle. – fibrous skeleton of the heart is connective tissue that insulates atria from ventricles. Cardiac Conduction System Impulse Conduction • SA node signal travels at 1 m/sec across the atria • AV node slows signal to 0.05 m/sec – composed of thinner myocytes with fewer gap junctions – delays signal 100 msec, allows ventricles to fill • AV bundle and purkinje fibers speeds up signal to ventricles at 4 m/sec • Papillary muscles get the signal first, and their contraction stabilizes the AV valves • Ventricular systole begins at apex, progresses up – spiral arrangement of myocytes twists ventricles slightly during contraction which increases the efficiency of blood ejection from the chambers Cardiac Rhythm • Sinus Rhythm is set by the SA node – adult sinus rhythm at rest is 70 to 80 bpm • Nodal Rhythm is set by the AV node – adult nodal rhythm is 40 to 50 bpm but it is normally overridden by the sinus rhythm • Ectopic Foci are regions of spontaneous firing outside of the SA node – ectopic foci can be caused by hypoxia, caffeine, nicotine, electrolyte imbalance, drugs • Arrhythmia – any abnormal cardiac rhythm – heart block: failure of conduction system due to disease • bundle branch block (caused by damage to bundle branches) • total heart block (caused by damage to AV node) Physiology of the SA Node • SA node - no stable resting membrane potential • Pacemaker potential – gradual depolarization of SA cells from a slow inflow of Na+ into the SA cells – membrane potential rises from -60 mV to -40 mV • Action potential – occurs at threshold of -40 mV – depolarizing phase from -40 mV to 0 mV • Caused by opening of fast Ca+2 channels (lets Ca+2 in) – repolarizing phase • Caused by opening of K+ channels (let K+ out) • at -60 mV K+ channels close, pacemaker potential starts over • Each depolarization creates one heartbeat – SA node at rest fires every 0.8 sec or about 75 bpm at rest Membrane Potentials of SA Node Cells Contraction of Myocardium • Myocytes have stable resting potential of -90 mV • Depolarization (very brief) – stimulus opens voltage regulated Na+ channels and allows Na+ to rush in which rapidly depolarizes the membrane – action potential peaks at +30 mV – Na+ channels close again quickly • Plateau of 200 to 250 msec, sustains contraction – slow Ca+2 channels open, Ca+2 binds to Ca+2 channels on sarcoplasmic reticulum which releases Ca+2 into cytoplasm and results in muscle contraction • Repolarization - Ca+2 channels close, K+ channels open, rapid K+ outflow returns cell to resting potential Myocardial Contraction and Action Potential 1) Voltage gated Na+ channels open 2) Rapid depolarization due to Na+ inflow 3) Na+ channels close 4) K+ channels and slow Ca+2 channels open. K+ flows out restoring membrane polarity, but Ca+2 flowing in prolongs membrane depolarization 5) Ca+2 channels close and Ca+2 is pumped out K+ channels still open and re-polarizes as K+ flows out Electrocardiogram (ECG) • Composite of action potentials of nodal and myocardial cells • Detected, amplified and recorded by electrodes on arms, legs and chest ECG • P wave – SA node fires, atrial depolarization – atrial systole • QRS complex – AV node fires, ventricular depolarization – ventricular systole – (atrial repolarization and diastole signal obscured) • T wave – ventricular repolarization ECG and the Cardiac Cycle 1) atrial depolarization begins 2) atrial depolarization complete (atria contracted) 3) ventricles begin to depolarize at apex; atria repolarize (atria relaxed) 4) ventricular depolarization complete (ventricles contracted) 5) ventricles begin to repolarize at apex 6) ventricular repolarization complete (ventricles relaxed) Diagnostic Value of ECG • Valuable for diagnosing abnormalities in conduction pathways, myocardial infarction (MI), heart enlargement, electrolyte imbalances and hormone imbalances. Myocardial Infarction • Sudden death of heart tissue caused by interruption of blood flow from coronary artery narrowing or occlusion. • Dead myocardium is replaced with thin, noncontractile connective tissue. • Anastomoses defend against interruption by providing alternate blood pathways. – circumflex artery and right coronary artery join and form the posterior interventricular artery. – anterior and posterior interventricular arteries join at apex of heart. Coronary Blood Vessels Coronary Vessel Atherosclerosis Plaque Artery Wall Major Events of Cardiac Cycle Chapter 20 Principles of Blood Flow • Blood Flow: amount of blood flowing through a tissue in a given time (ml/min) • Perfusion: rate of blood flow per given mass of tissue (ml/min/g) • Important for delivery of nutrients and oxygen, and removal of metabolic wastes Variations in Blood Flow in the Circulatory System • From aorta to capillaries, blood pressure and flow DECREASES because: – friction between blood and vessels – smaller radii of arterioles and capillaries – farther from the heart, more vessels, greater total cross sectional area • From capillaries to vena cava, rate of flow INCREASES because: – large amount of blood is funneled back into fewer vessels. Blood Pressure Changes With Distance More pulsatile closer to heart Blood Pressure • Usually measured at brachial artery of arm • Systolic pressure: BP during ventricular systole • Diastolic pressure: BP during ventricular diastole • Normal value, young adult: 120/75 mm Hg Neural Blood Pressure Control: Baroreflex • Changes in BP detected by stretch receptors (baroreceptors) in large arteries above heart in the: – aortic arch – aortic sinuses (behind aortic valve cusps) – carotid sinus (base of each internal carotid artery) • Autonomic negative feedback response – baroreceptors send signals to brainstem – BP increases rate of signals to brainstem which inhibits the sympathetic nerves to blood vessels causing vasodilation (causes BP ) – BP causes rate of signals to drop, excites vasomotor center, sympathetic nerves, causes vasoconstriction and BP Baroreceptors Baroreflex Negative Feedback Response Neural Control: Chemoreflex • Chemoreceptors in aortic bodies and carotid bodies are located in aortic arch, subclavian arteries, external carotid arteries • Chemoreceptors monitor pH – drop in pH of blood and cerebrospinal fluid due to increase in CO2 concentration in tissues triggers an increase in blood pressure and respiration rate – Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid: CO2 + H2O H2CO3 – carbonic acid dissociates in water into H+ (acidic hydrogen ions) and HCO3- (bicarbonate ions) Chemoreceptors Carotid body Aortic body Aortic body Hormonal Control of BP and Flow • Angiotensin II ( BP) – potent vasoconstictor produced by liver, kidneys and lungs • Aldosterone ( BP) – Na+ and water retention by the kidneys increases blood volume • Vasopressin (ADH) ( BP) – causes water retention by the kidneys which increases blood volume – also causes generalized vasoconstriction • Atrial Natriuretic Factor ( BP) – produced by atria of heart – urinary sodium excretion which lowers blood volume – also causes generalized vasodilation • Epinephrine and Norepinephrine ( and BP) – binds to -adrenergic receptors on smooth muscle of blood vessels causing vasoconstriction which increases blood pressure – binds to -adrenergic receptors on blood vessels in skeletal and cardiac muscle causing vasodilation which decreases blood pressure Abnormalities of Blood Pressure • Hypertension – chronic resting BP above 140/90 – can damage capillaries and weaken small arteries causing aneurysms • Hypotension is chronic low resting BP – Blood pressure lower than 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal. There is no specific number at which day-to-day blood pressure is considered too low, as long as no symptoms of trouble are present. – Hypotension can be caused by blood loss or dehydration – Hypotension lowers renal function, causes dizziness and impairs brain function http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4623
