CVS Physiology Dr. Lapale Moipolai Head of Clinical Unit Dept. Anaesthesiology SBAH 03 June 2013 1 Main Points • Functional anatomy of the heart • Basics of heart physiology and the origin of heart beat • Changes that occur during cardiac cycle • Cardiac output and factors affecting it • Haemodynamics • Physiological abnormalities causing disease 2 embryology • CVS is one of the first systems to develop • First three weeks from the mesodermally derived endothelial cells • 4 weeks bilateral cardiogenic cords • Initial contraction at 21 to 22 days • Unidirectional blood flow in week 4 and further differentiation throughout to week 7 into four chambers 3 4 Pump Function Heart is a pump that generates stroke volume SV X HR = CO • Peripheral circulation is logistic conduit that regulates perfusion pressure and regional blood flow • • • Flow = Pressure / Resistance Pressure = Flow x Resistance BP = CO X SVR 5 Excitation-Contraction coupling • Purkinje fibre action potential results in coordinated contraction of a cardiac myocyte • Five phases of the action potential involving changes in sodium, potassium and calcium conductances • Calcium ions diffuse across the sarcolemma through the calcium release channels, ryanodine receptor channel 6 7 8 Exc-Con cont’d • Sarcoplasmic Reticulum is responsible for efficient cycling of calcium (ryanodine receptor channel, SERCA-2 and the regulatory protein, phospholambin) • Calcium binds to troponin and results in a conformational change involving tropomyosin • Actin and myosin interact and the sarcomere shortens • ATP depended process • Calcium – troponin affinity is a central pathophysiologic substrate 9 Heart Rate • SA node pacemaker • Membrane potential is small and unstable enabling impulse firing readily • Slow fibres only in the SA and AV nodes. Resting membrane potential of -50 to -60 mV. • The action potential results in opening of the slow sodium and calcium channels • Fast fibers in ordinary atrial and ventricular muscle fibres and components of specialized conducting tissues. RMP -80 to -90 mV • Cardiac cycle of 60 to 90 beats per minute 10 11 Definition of terms • Preload Load on the muscle that stretches it before onset of contraction. Defines the end diastolic fibre length Surrogate measures: end diastolic volume end diastolic pressure Within physiologic limits, the larger the volume of the heart, the greater the energy of its contraction- Starling 12 cont’d Preload is affected by • Blood volume • Venous tone and venous return • Left ventricular compliance 13 Afterload Load on the muscle at peak contraction • The load against which the left ventricle contracts • Increased afterload will increase peak tension during contraction but decrease external work. • Surrogate measure: systemic vascular resistance (SVR) 14 Contractility Inotropic state of the heart by which the force of myocardial contraction is altered without a change in preload or afterload. • Measures of contractility • • • Vmax the maximum velocity of contraction at zero load LV dP/dtmax Surrogate: Ventricular Function or Starling Curves • Pressure-Volume Loops 15 Relaxation Lusitropy • Affects preload • Mediated by beta adrenergic activity • Ischaemia impairs relaxation 16 Peripheral Circulation • Smooth Muscle Tone • Autoregulation • Baroreceptors • RAS • ADH • ANP 17 Anaesthesia and the Heart Anaesthetic agents in general affect the heart, the peripheral vessels, the baroreceptors and the autonomic nervous system to a varying degree. 1. Preload: reduction in venous tone, more with propofol. Halogenated agents do not affect preload. 2. Cardiac muscle: decrease myocardial contractility by reduction of calcium fluxes across the cardiac cell membrane, SR. Decreased sensitization may also play a role. 18 Cont’d 3. SVR 4.
