1 Cardiac Output and venous return Dr Badri Paudel GMC Definitions Cardiac Output The quantity of blood pumped into the aorta each minute measured in milliliters (ml) per minute (min) or liters (L) per minute normally around 5,000 ml (5 L) per minute (5,000 ml/min or 5 L/min) Venous Return The quantity of blood flowing from the veins into the right atrium each minute 11/13/13 badri@gmc 2 11/13/13 badri@gmc 4 End-Diastolic Volume End-Systolic Volume = Stroke Volume Cardiac Output (CO) Beat = stroke volume (SV) = EDV ESV = 70 ml Volume of blood ejected from one ventricle Minute = Cardiac output (CO) = SV x HR = 5 liters / min End-Diastolic Volume End-Systolic Volume 11/13/13 badri@gmc 5 Minute / square meter of body surface area = Cardiac index = 3.2 liter / min / m2 11/13/13 badri@gmc 6 1

" Answer: 400/( ) =10 L/min 11/13/13 badri@gmc 16 Regulation of Cardiac output Extrinsic regulation * It depends on - Nervous supply of the heart. - Hormones or chemical * It adjust both stroke volume and heart rate. Heterometric autoregulation Intrinsic regulation (Auto regulation) *It is the ability of the heart to change its stroke volume independent of nervous chemical or hormonal factors. * It include Homeometic autoregulation 11/13/13 badri@gmc 1 7 Intrinsic autoregulation 1-Heterometric autoregulation: Initial Length (Preload): The major determinant of the force of contraction is the initial length of the muscle fiber. The end diastolic volume (EDV) is used instead of length of muscle fiber. The EDV is determined by the preload. The term preload refers to the degree of passive stress exerted by the volume of blood in the ventricle just before its contraction. 11/13/13 badri@gmc 18 3

4 Characters of heterometric auto-regulation " It is preload phenomena. " It is of a short duration. " There is an increase in the length of muscle fiber. " End diastolic volume ( E.D.V ) increases. " Stroke volume ( S.V ) increases. " End systolic volume slightly increases. " It is usually followed by Homeometric regulation. Preload Preload can be defined as the initial stretching of the cardiac myocytes prior to contraction. It is related to the sarcomere length at the end of diastole. Examples of heterometric regulation : " a - In case of changing position from standing into supine position e.g. lying in bed. " b - In the ( early stage ) beginning of muscular exercise. 11/13/13 badri@gmc /13/13 badri@gmc 2 0 Frank-Starling Relationship Preload% % stretches%the%myocardium%so%that%the%myofibers% are%lengthened%before%contrac<on%resul<ng%in%a% stronger%contrac<on,%up%to%a%point%(above%which% strength%decreases),%according%to%the%frank>starling' law'of'the'heart.% 11/13/13 badri@gmc 21 11/13/13 badri@gmc 2 2 Because we cannot measure sarcomere length directly, we must use indirect indices of preload.

5 Frank-Starling Mechanism When venous return to the heart is increased, ventricular filling increases, as does preload. This stretching of the myocytes causes an increase in force generation, which enables the heart to eject the additional venous return and thereby increase stroke volume. Simply stated: The heart pumps the blood that is returned to it 11/13/13 25 Frank-Starling Mechanism Allows the heart to readily adapt to changes in venous return. The Frank-Starling Mechanism plays an important role in balancing the output of the 2 ventricles. In summary: Increasing venous return and ventricular preload leads to an increase in stroke volume. 11/13/13 badri@gmc 2 6 Frank-Starling Mechanism Length-tension curve (Frank-Starling ) Optimal length Stroke volume (SV) (ml) (related to muscle tension) Increase in SV B1 A1 (Cardiac muscle does not normally operate within the descending limb of the length tension curve.) Normal resting length Increase in EDV 11/13/13 badri@gmc 27 End-diastolic volume (EDV) (ml) 11/13/13 (related to cardiac-muscle fiber length) badri@gmc 28 Frank-Starling Mechanism There is no single Frank-Starling Curve for the ventricle. Instead, there is a family of curves with each curve defined by the existing conditions of afterload and inotropy. The muscle developed tension is increased upon increasing the initial length ( preload ) up to certain limit.further increase in muscle length beyond this limit depresses the muscle developed tension and this is not seen in the normal heart but only 11/13/13 in heart failure badri@gmc 29 11/13/13 badri@gmc 3 0 5

Afterload Afterload can be viewed as the "load" that the heart must eject blood against. In simple terms, the afterload is closely related to the aortic pressure. 11/13/13 badri@gmc /13/13 badri@gmc 3 4 Afterload More precisely defined in terms of ventricular wall stress: LaPlace s Law: Wall stress = Pr/h P = ventricular pressure R = ventricular radius h = wall thickness Afterload is better defined in relation to ventricular wall stress LaPlace s Law Wall Stress σ Pr h h Wall Stress P r 11/13/13 badri@gmc 35 11/13/13 badri@gmc 3 6 6

8 Anrep Effect An abrupt increase in afterload can cause a modest increase in inotropy. The mechanism of the Anrep Effect is not fully understood. Extrinsic regulation! It is the adjustment of CO via change of heart rate (HR) and/or stroke volume (SV).! It acts through either autonomic nerve supply of the heart and/or hormones (chemicals) in the blood. 11/13/13 badri@gmc 43 11/13/13 badri@gmc 44 Extrinsic regulation Hormonal (chemical) regulation Nervous regulation Heart Rate is directly affected by factors called chronotropic agents (or factors). These factors may be positive or negative.

9 Heart Rate Changes in heart rate are generally more important quantitatively in producing changes in cardiac output than are changes in stroke volume Changes in heart rate alone inversely affect stroke volume 11/13/13 49 Cardiac Output Effects of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output Heart Rate (Increased by Pacing) 11/13/13 50 Heart Rate At high HR The decrease in SV is greater than the increase in HR (decreased filling time) At low HR decrease in HR is greater than decrement in SV Bowditch (Treppe) Effect An increase in heart rate will also cause positive inotropy (Bowditch effect, Treppe or staircase phenomenon). This is due to an increase in intracellular Ca++ with a higher heart rate: More depolarizations per minute Inability of Na+/K+-ATPase to keep up with influx of Na+, thus, the Na+-Ca++ exchange pump doesn t function as well 11/13/13 badri@gmc 51 11/13/13 badri@gmc 5 2 Heart rate regulation: The SA node is the normal pace maker of the heart that set the heart rate during rest at average rate=70 beats/minute The autonomic nervous system supply of the heart: The atria (SA node and AV node) are supplied by the parasympathetic nervous system (The vagus nerve) and the sympathetic nervous system (Dual supply from both divisions of A.N.S) The ventricles are mainly supplied by the sympathetic nervous system. There is very little Parasympathetic supply of the ventricles 11/13/13 badri@gmc 53 Area affected: Parasympathetic stimulation Sympathetic stimulation 1-SA Node Decrease heart rate Increase heart rate 2-Atrial muscle Decrease contractility Increase contractility 3-AV Node 4-Ventricles conductive system 5-Ventricle muscle No effect 6-Adrenal medulla No effect Decrease excitability (increase AV node delay) No effect Increase excitability (decrease AV node delay) Increase conduction through His bundle and purkinje cells Increase contractility Increase epinephrine secretion which enhance sympathetic stimulation on heart 7-Veins No effect Increase venous return (by vasoconstriction of veins) which increase cardiac contraction 11/13/13 badri@gmc (Frank-Starling mechanism) 54 9

10 Effect Of ANS on HR: Heart rate Threshold potential Parasympathetic activity Sympathetic activity (and epinephrine) Threshold potential 11/13/13 55 = Inherent SA node pacemaker activity 11/13/13 = SA node pacemaker activity badri@gmc on parasympathetic stimulation 56 = SA node pacemaker activity on sympathetic stimulation The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems act together on heart rate in antagonistic (opposing) way, during rest the parasympathetic nervous system dominate more than the sympathetic nervous system What happen if all autonomic nerves to the heart are cut? The heart rate will be 100/minute,which is he inherent rhythm of the SA (which is the SA Node discharge when it is free from the normal inhibitory dominant parasympathetic effect at rest) A Cardiovascular control center in the brain stem coordinates the autonomic activity to the heart, if heart rate is to be increased this center control the increase in sympathetic activity and at same time decrease the parasympathetic activity and vice versa Extrinsic control Sympathetic activity (and epinephrine) Intrinsic control Intrinsic control Stroke volume Strength of cardiac contraction End-diastolic volume 11/13/13 badri@gmc 57 Venous return 11/13/13 badri@gmc 58 Sympathetic stimulation can increase stroke volume and cardiac output by: A-Increase force of contraction: Resting heart without sympathetic: End-diastolic volume 135 ml -Under sympathetic stimulation with the EDV=135 ml The Stroke volume will be 100 ml and End Systolic Volume(ESV)=35 ml only -Sympathetic stimulation shift the Frank-Starling curve up and to the left and according to the degree of sympathetic stimulation is the degree of the shift up to a maximal increase in strength of contraction 100% greater than resting strength B-Increase venous return: Sympathetic stimulation also cause vasoconstriction of the veins which squeezes more blood from the veins to the heart (=more filling) which in turn increase EDV and stroke volume Stroke volume 70 ml End-systolic volume 65 ml 11/13/13 badri@gmc 59 11/13/13 badri@gmc

12 2- Hormonal (chemical) regulation $ Catecholamine: Causes increase CO (Its actions similar to sympathetic stimulation). $ Thyroxin hormone: Causes increase CO by increasing the number and sensitivity of B1 receptors to catecholamine. $ Insulin hormone: Causes increase of CO. It has +ve inotropic action (increases SV and CO). $ Glucagon hormone: Causes increase of CO. It has +ve inotropic action (increases SV and CO). $ Digitalis drug: Causes increase of CO (It has +ve inotropic action). $ Acetyl choline: Causes decrease CO (Action similar to parasympathetic stimulation). 11/13/13 badri@gmc /13/13 badri@gmc 68 Contractility Extrinsic factors Affecting Myocardial Contraction Force ( Inotropic Factors ) Contractility The inherent capacity of the myocardium to contract independently of changes in afterload or preload. Changes in contractility are caused by intrinsic cellular mechanisms that regulate the interaction between actin and myosin independent of sarcomere length. Increased rate and/or quantity of Calcium delivered to myofilaments during contraction Alternate name is inotropy. 11/13/13 badri@gmc 7 0 PosiIve'inotropic'agents ' increase%contrac<lity%and% epinephrine,%norepinephrine%and%cardiac% glycosides%(e.g.,%digitalis)% What#effect#will# epinephrine#have# on#stroke#volume?# 11/13/13 badri@gmc 71 11/13/13 badri@gmc

Epinepherine & norepinepherine : are povitive inotropic factors (similar to sympathetic). b. Acetyl choline : is negative inotropic factor (similar to parasympathetic). 3) ECF ions: Effects of variations in Ca++ and K + ions: a. Ca++ infusion (intravenous) may stop the heart during systole (Ca++ rigor). b. Effects of hyperkalaemia: Depresses cardiac contractility and may stop the heart during diastole so increased K + ions have a negative inotropic effect 4) Drugs : Digitalis used in the treatment of heart failure is the most important of all; it acts through inhibition of Na+ K+ ATP ase & thus Na+ ions accumulate inside the cells & stimulate Na+ Ca++ exchanger (between intracellular Na+ & extracellular Ca++) which increases the intracellular Ca++ concentration 11/13/13 badri@gmc /13/13 badri@gmc 76 Factors Regulating Inotropy (-) Parasympathetic Activation (+) Afterload (Anrep) (+) Sympathetic Activation Inotropic State (Contractility) (-) Systolic Failure (+) Catecholamines (+) Heart Rate (Treppe) Ancillary Factors 11/13/13 badri@gmc 77 13
