Cardiovascular system in its context

Reverend Dr. David C.M. TaylorSchool of Medical Educationdcmt@liverpool.ac.ukhttp://pcwww.liv.ac.uk/~dcmt/cvs06.ppt

What is the role of the cardiovascular system?

Blood Pressure

Depends upon the amount of blood leaving the heart cardiac output

and the resistance of the vasculature total peripheral resistance

Peripheral Resistance

Which will give the greater flow ?

Peripheral resistance 2

Which will give the greater flow ?

Cardiac OutputHeart rate x stroke volume

End diastolic volume - End systolic volume

Stroke volume Heart rate

Cardiac output

Factors affecting stroke volume

Preload Afterload

Contractility

Preloadincreased end-diastolic volume stretches the heart

cardiac muscles stretch and contract more forcefully Frank-Starling Law of

Contractility-”Inotropic effect”positive inotropic

agentsincrease available intracellular Ca2+

increase number of actinomyosin binding sitesincrease force of contraction

positive inotropic agents sympathetic

stimulation catecholamines glucagon thyroid hormones increased

extracellular Ca2+

Afterloaddecreased arterial blood pressure during diastoledecreased afterloadsemilunar valves open sooner when blood pressure in pulmonary artery & aorta is lower

Pacemaker activityThe rhythm of the pump is provided by the pacemaker activity of some specialized muscle cells in the wall of the right atrium - the sinoatrial node

HypertensionDavid TaylorSchool of Medical Education

HypertensionExcellent article: ABC of Hypertension: The pathophysiology

of hypertension, Beevers G, Lip GYH and O’Brien E (2001) BMJ, 322:912-916

Upto 5% of patients with hypertension have it as secondary to some other disease (e.g. renal disease)The rest have “essential hypertension”

The story so far...http://pcwww.liv.ac.uk/~dcmt/cvs06.pptintrinsic (Starling’s Law)extrinsic (principally autonomic)

Stroke volume

Heart rateCardiac output

Postulated mechanismIncreased sympathetic activity Leads to increased cardiac output And peripheral vasoconstriction (to

protect the capillary beds)Drop in blood flow Triggers renin-angiotensin system

EvidenceCross transplantation studies show that essential hypertension has its origins in the kidneys. Human and animal studiesLittle evidence that “stress” is involved But, of course, drugs that decrease

sympathetic activity lower blood pressure.

Chemicals

Autonomic N.S.

ADH

Local BloodFlow

Angiotensin

PressureSensed by baroreceptors in carotid arteries and aortic arch

an increase in pressure causes a decrease in sympathetic activitya decrease in pressure causes an increase in sympathetic activity

VolumeSensed by atrial volume receptors

A decrease in volume causes an increase in ADH secretion and a decrease in ANF secretion

ChemicalsA decrease in O2, or more usually an

increase in CO2 or H2 causes an increase in chemoreceptor activity whichincreases sympathetic activity

Local Blood Flow (kidney)

Sodium reabsorption

Potassium secretion

Decreased renal blood flow

Monitored by JGA cellsRenin production

Angiotensinogen

Converting enzyme

Angiotensin I

Angiotensin II

Aldosterone

Vasoconstriction

HormonesAngiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor

Aldosterone increases vascular sensitivity to Angiotensin II

ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) increases water reabsorption

ANF decreases sodium reabsorption

ShockDavid TaylorSchool of Medical Education

ShockStage 1 Compensated/Nonprogressive mechanisms work as planned

Stage 2 Decompensation/Progressive if blood volume drops more than 15 - 25%

Stage 3 Irreversible

Progressive shockdepression of cardiac activity bp <60 mmHg poor flow through

coronary arteries leads to ischemiadepression of vasoconstriction bp 40 - 50 mmHgincreased capillary permeability caused by hypoxiaclotting, cell destruction, acidosis
