BIOL week 9 LB  Control of Cardiac Output
Blood pressure (BP) terminology
- SBP = systolic blood pressure
- DBP = diastolic blood pressure
- PP = pulse pressure
oDifference between systolic and diastolic pressure
- MAP = mean arterial blood pressure
- TPR = total peripheral resistance
oResistance to blood flow
- CO = cardiac output
- HR = heart rate
- SV = stroke volume
Cardiac Output (CO) and reserve
- Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute 
typically talk about left ventricle because its pumping blood for the systemic
circulation
oCO is the product of heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV)
HR is the number of heart beats per minute
SV is the amount of blood pumped out by a ventricle with each beat
- Cardiac reserve is the difference between resting and maximal CO
Cardiac Output
- Eg. If HR = 75 beats/min and SV = 70 mL/beat
-CO (mL/min) = HR (75 beats/min) x SV (70 mL/beat)
- CO = 5250 mL/min (5.25 L/min)
Blood Pressure (BP)
- BP  the hydrostatic pressure in the arterial system that pushes blood towards
capillary bed
- Hydrostatic pressure  pressure exerted by a liquid in response to an applied force
- As volume decreases, pressure increases
- Blood pressure is lowest in the veins
- Pressure decreases as blood moves away from the heart
- Blood pressure is an important aspect of our body physiology
- Without having optimum/normal BP, the nutrients, oxygen and proteins cannot
travel from the arterial side of the body to the tissue or to venous side

- Transports metabolic wastes and CO2 to lungs and kidneys to be excreted
- Adequate profusion of blood is important to prevent ischemia, hypoxia, necrosis
Factors Affecting BP
-Blood pressure = Cardiac Output x TPR (Ie. CO x Total Peripheral Resistance)
-
Average = 75 cycles per minute ie. Bpm
- If you know lumen size of vessels, you can work out resistance with a formula (small
changes in lumen size significantly changes blood flow and pressure)
Factors Affecting Cardiac Output
Cardiodynamics
- Factors affecting Cardiac Output
oCardiac output
Adjusted by the body making changes in heart rate or stroke volume
oHeart rate

Adjusted extrinsically by autonomic nervous system or hormones
oStroke volume
Adjusted by changing EDV (end diastolic volume) or ESV (end systolic
volume)
Regulation of stroke volume (SV)
- SV = end diastolic volume (EDV) minus end systolic volume (ESV)
SV = EDV - ESV
oEDV = amount of blood collected in a ventricle during diastole
oESV = amount of blood remaining in a ventricle after contraction
Factors affecting stroke volume
- Preload = amount ventricles are stretched by contained blood  more blood = more
stretch
oDependent on venous return
oAmount of blood entering the ventricle per diastole
oTo reduce preload (in angina patients for eg.), use vasodilation drugs
- Contractility = cardiac cell contractile force due to factors other than EDV
- Afterload = back pressure exerted by blood in the large arteries leaving the heart
oThe pressure that a ventricle needs to work against
oResistance to ventricular rejection
oIf blood vessels remain restricted, then that offers more resistance
oIf blood vessels can be dilated (vasodilated), that will ease the work of the
heart
oMost important determinant is TPR
Preload and Afterload
- The more cardiac muscle is stretched, within physiological limits, the more forcibly it
will contract
- Increased EDV through more venous return  increased SV and CO
- Increased EDV increases sarcomere length of heart cell causing more forcible
contraction
- Mechanism to prevent pooling of blood in the ventricles

Document Summary

Biol week 9 lb control of cardiac output. Pp = pulse pressure: difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Tpr = total peripheral resistance: resistance to blood flow. Hr is the number of heart beats per minute. Sv is the amount of blood pumped out by a ventricle with each beat. Cardiac reserve is the difference between resting and maximal co. If hr = 75 beats/min and sv = 70 ml/beat. Co (ml/min) = hr (75 beats/min) x sv (70 ml/beat) Bp the hydrostatic pressure in the arterial system that pushes blood towards capillary bed. Hydrostatic pressure pressure exerted by a liquid in response to an applied force. Pressure decreases as blood moves away from the heart. Blood pressure is an important aspect of our body physiology. Without having optimum/normal bp, the nutrients, oxygen and proteins cannot travel from the arterial side of the body to the tissue or to venous side.
