Document Summary

Demonstration in class of use of doppler velocity detector to measure blood velocity in artery and vein. Artery: velocity is pulsatile and related to heart contraction; variable depending on location. Vein: velocity is intermittent and not related to heart contraction because of damping by arterioles. Vein valves break up column of blood and hydrostatic pressure. End-diastolic volume: amount of blood in chambers at the end of filling stage. End-systolic volume: amount of blood in chambers after ejection. End-diastolic pressure: pressure in ventricle at end of diastole. End-systolic pressure: pressure in ventricle at end of systole. Preload: blood volume in heart at end of diastole. Afterload: pressure ventricle pumps against to eject blood (80 mm hg for systemic circulation) Contractility: force of contraction of heart which is independent of afterload and preload. Resistance to flow: impediment to flow; important parameters: viscosity of blood, makeup of vessels. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures for chambers and vessels.
