blood circulation
organ circulation
Overview
coronary circulation
anatomical features
Myocardium is mainly supplied by coronary arteries
The heart's own blood supply comes mainly from the coronary circulation
Blood supply is susceptible to myocardial contraction
The main trunk and large branches of the left and right coronary arteries run on the surface of the heart, but the small branches are often perpendicular to the surface of the heart, and myocardial contraction is easily compressed.
The density of capillaries in the myocardium is very high
The ratio of the number of capillaries to the number of myocardial fibers can reach 1:1, so the material exchange between myocardium and coronary blood can be carried out quickly
side branch anastomosis
Coronary arteries often have branches or side branches that anastomose each other, but the side branches are small and have little blood flow. When a coronary artery is suddenly blocked, it is often difficult to establish collateral circulation quickly, leading to myocardial infarction.
Physiological characteristics
High perfusion pressure and large blood flow
The coronary arteries open directly into the aortic root, so the perfusion pressure is high
Coronary blood flow accounts for 4% to 5% of cardiac output, while the weight of the heart only accounts for 0.5% of body weight. It can be seen that coronary blood flow is extremely large.
High oxygen uptake rate, large oxygen consumption
Myocardium is rich in myoglobin and has a strong oxygen uptake capacity
After arterial blood flows through the heart, 65% to 70% of the oxygen is taken up by the myocardium.
The difference in oxygen content between arterial blood and venous blood is the largest
Blood flow is significantly affected by myocardial contraction
Determined by the difference between the blood pressure at the beginning of the coronary arteries (same as the aortic pressure) and the blood pressure in the right atrium and the resistance of blood flow through the coronary arteries
normal
isovolumetric contraction phase
Due to the sharp increase in ventricular wall tension, compression of small blood vessels between muscle fibers can significantly reduce CBF, and CBF in the deep myocardium can stop or even reverse flow during isovolumic contraction.
rapid ejection period
As aortic pressure increases, coronary artery pressure also increases, and CBF increases.
After entering the slowed ejection phase
CBF decreases again
isovolumetric diastole
Myocardial compression of the coronary arteries is weakened or relieved, coronary blood flow resistance is reduced, CBF rises rapidly, reaches a peak in early diastole, and then gradually decreases
abnormal
diastolic period shortened
Prolonged isovolumetric systole/shortened isovolumetric diastole
Decreased coronary blood flow
Increased peripheral resistance/decreased arterial diastolic blood pressure
Decreased coronary blood flow
increased heart rate
Decreased coronary blood flow
sympathetic excitement
Systemic vasoconstriction. The coronary arteries are mainly affected by the vasodilatory effect of metabolic substances, so the coronary arteries do not shrink, and the blood volume of the coronary arteries is redistributed.
Regulation of coronary blood flow
Myocardial metabolism (main)
Myocardial metabolism is enhanced and metabolites accumulate [adenosine (the most powerful). H.CO2.Lactate.Bradykinin.PGE], causing coronary artery relaxation
neuromodulation
Sympathetic nerves → stimulate coronary artery contraction and enhance metabolism (heart rate ↑/heart activity ↑)
Vagus nerve → stimulates coronary artery relaxation and weakens metabolism
significance
The influence of neurological factors can be masked in a short period of time by changes in blood flow caused by changes in myocardial metabolism. The effect is mainly reflected in the situation of massive blood loss. Sympathetic nerve excitement causes systemic vasoconstriction, while coronary blood vessels are affected by metabolic effects. It dilates the coronary arteries without constricting them, redistributing blood supply throughout the body and increasing cerebral and cardiac blood flow.

The first step in ejection → the fastest blood flow
effect
elastic reservoir function
During ventricular systole, the ventricle ejects blood, part of which flows into the periphery, and part of which is stored in the aorta. The aorta wall expands (the kinetic energy of the blood is converted into the elastic potential energy of the artery), and blood pressure ↓
During ventricular diastole, the arterial wall retracts (the elastic potential energy of the artery is converted into the kinetic energy of the blood), the vascular blood flow is replenished (equivalent to the ejection not stopping), and the blood pressure ↑

When it is open, blood in the arterioles can enter the venules directly without passing through the capillaries.
effect
Participate in the regulation of body temperature
However, because the arterial blood enters the venules through the anastomotic branches and does not exchange substances with tissue cells, tissue hypoxia may occur.
Hemodynamics
Hemodynamics
Evaluate blood flow
blood flow (volume velocity)
definition
The amount of blood flowing through a certain cross-section of a blood vessel per unit time
Influencing factors
Blood flow is proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the blood vessel and inversely proportional to the length of the blood vessel (only applicable to laminar flow)
blood flow velocity
definition
The linear velocity of a point in the blood moving in the tube
Influencing factors
Blood flow velocity is directly proportional to blood flow and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area of blood vessels
blood flow resistance
definition
The resistance encountered by blood flow through blood vessels
Produced by friction between flowing blood and blood vessel walls and molecules within the blood
Blood continues to flow, kinetic energy continues to be consumed, and blood pressure continues to drop.
Influencing factors
Proportional to the pressure difference at both ends of the blood vessel, blood viscosity, and blood vessel length
Blood viscosity is determined by hematocrit, blood flow rate, blood vessel caliber, and temperature
Inversely proportional to blood flow and the fourth power of blood vessel radius
The main influencing factor is the radius of blood vessels
微动脉管径最小,阻力最大
blood pressure
definition
The pressure of the blood flowing in the blood vessel on the side wall of the blood vessel → that is, the pressure per unit area
Influencing factors
Related to blood flow resistance
As the blood flows, blood pressure continues to drop, The greater the vascular resistance, the greater the decline
The blood ejected from the left ventricle passes through various blood vessels, overcoming vascular resistance and consuming kinetic energy, reducing the pressure on the tube wall.
Maximum blood pressure → aorta, aorta
Arterial blood pressure is often called blood pressure
blood pressure minimum → venous system
Blood pressure drops the most → arterioles (smallest caliber, greatest resistance)
blood flow pattern

pathology
Atrioventricular valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, patent ductus arteriosus → produce turbulence and murmur
arterial blood pressure
arterial blood pressure
forming conditions
There is blood filling in the cardiovascular system (prerequisite)
Blood pressure comes first
The degree of filling of blood in the circulatory system can be expressed by the average filling pressure of the circulatory system (the level mainly depends on the relative relationship between blood volume and circulatory system volume)
Heart ejection (necessary condition)
Pressure requires motivation
Part of the energy released when the ventricles eject blood is used as the kinetic energy of blood flow, pushing the blood forward; the other part is converted into potential energy stored in the expansion of the aorta, that is, pressure energy.
peripheral resistance
Mainly refers to the resistance of arterioles and arterioles to blood flow
About 1/3 of the blood ejected by the ventricle during each contraction flows to the periphery during ventricular systole, and the rest is temporarily stored in the aorta and large arteries, thus increasing arterial blood pressure (increased arterial blood and increased pressure against the wall)
Elastic reservoir function of aorta and large arteries
It is of great significance to reduce the fluctuation amplitude of arterial blood pressure during the cardiac cycle. It can also change the intermittent ejection of blood from the left ventricle into continuous blood flow in the artery. In addition, it can maintain diastolic blood pressure so that it will not decrease excessively.

Korotkoff phonetic method
operate
body position
The person being tested is usually in a sitting or supine position, with the midpoint of the upper arm at the same level as the heart.
position
The measurer locates the brachial artery by palpation (touching the arterial pulse), and wraps the sphygmomanometer cuff around the subject's upper arm with appropriate tightness, with the lower edge of the cuff located 2 to 3 cm above the elbow crease.
Brachial artery pressure represents the level of human arterial blood pressure
The membranous body of the stethoscope is placed in the cubital fossa, at the pulse point of the brachial artery on the medial side of the biceps tendon.
Measurement
Inflate and pressurize the air bag of the cuff. When the applied pressure is higher than the systolic pressure, the blood flow of the brachial artery is completely blocked, the brachial artery pulse disappears, and no sound can be heard on the stethoscope.
Continue to inflate to raise the mercury column by another 20~30mmHg, and then deflate slowly at a rate of 2~3HhmHg per second. When the pressure in the cuff is slightly lower than the systolic pressure, the blood flow rushes into the compressed and blocked blood vessel segment, forming turbulent flow. The mercury column reading of the sphygmomanometer when it hits the blood vessel wall and the first sound (Korotkoff sound) is heard at this time is the systolic blood pressure.
When the pressure in the cuff drops to equal to or slightly lower than the diastolic blood pressure, the blood flow is completely restored and the auscultation sound disappears. The mercury column reading at this time is the diastolic blood pressure.

definition
Periodic fluctuations in the arterial wall caused by periodic changes in intra-arterial pressure and volume during each cardiac cycle
Waveform graph

Ascending branch
Features
steeper
It is formed by the rapid ejection of blood from the ventricle, rapid rise in arterial blood pressure, and expansion of the blood vessel wall.
significance
If the ejection velocity is slow, the cardiac output is small, and the resistance encountered by ejection is large, the slope and amplitude of the ascending branch will be small.
descending branch
Features
Front section (steeper)
In the late stage of ventricular ejection, the ejection speed slows down, the blood volume entering the aorta is less than the blood volume flowing to the periphery, the expanded aorta begins to retract, and the arterial blood pressure gradually decreases.
Falling medium wave
At the moment when the ventricles relax and the aortic valve closes, the blood in the aorta regurgitates toward the ventricle. The regurgitated blood is blocked by the closed aortic valve, which increases the volume of the aortic root and causes a reentry wave.
A notch before the descending wave is called the descending gorge
Back section (flatter)
Ventricular diastole, arterial blood pressure continues to fall
significance
Reflects the size of peripheral resistance
When the peripheral resistance is large, the descending rate of the descending branch of the pulse is slow and the position of the descending isthmus is higher.
pathology
aortic stenosis
The ejection resistance is large, and the slope and amplitude of the ascending branch are small.
aortic valve insufficiency
Blood reflux in the aorta during diastole, blood pressure in the aorta drops sharply, and descending branch steepens
Amplitude and slope
Influencing factors
The more distensible the artery is, the slower it propagates (the flatter the slope)
The aorta has the greatest distensibility and the slowest propagation
Arteriosclerosis in the elderly leads to decreased distensibility and faster transmission
The lower the blood pressure, the weaker the pulse
Small arteries and arterioles have large blood flow resistance, low blood pressure, and the greatest decrease in pulse amplitude.

Peripheral vascular-atrial blood pressure difference↑→reflux↑
The expansion of the atria and thorax is limited, and at first the expansion effect is dominant. After that, it is mainly due to the increase in venous pressure caused by the amount of blood returned to the heart.

Microcirculation
Microcirculation (Nutritional pathway)
definition
blood circulation from arterioles to venules
It is a place where the body exchanges substances and gases.
composition
Arteriole (origin. main gate)
is a precapillary resistance vessel
Its contraction and relaxation can control the blood flow of capillaries, thereby regulating blood pressure
Posterior arterioles (gates)
Branches of arterioles that supply blood to true capillaries
Precapillary sphincter (gate)
Its contraction and relaxation determine the blood flow into the true capillaries
True capillaries (nutritional blood vessels)
The blood vessel wall has high permeability (only a single layer of endothelial cells) and a large area, and has the function of exchanging substances with tissue fluid.
Blood capillaries (direct channel)
①Enable part of the blood to quickly enter the veins through microcirculation; ② Commonly seen in skeletal muscle tissue and often open (skeletal muscles often contract, and their opening is conducive to venous blood return)
arteriovenous anastomosis
① Body temperature regulation: ② Commonly found in fingers, toes, auricles, etc.
Venules (gates)
postcapillary resistance vessel
Its diastolic state can affect capillary blood pressure, thereby affecting body fluid exchange at capillaries and venous blood return to the heart.
blood flow pathway
circuitous route (Nutritional pathway)
definition
Refers to the microcirculation pathway in which blood flows from arterioles through posterior arterioles and precapillary sphincters into the true capillary network, and finally merges into venules.
Features
It is the main place for exchange between blood and tissue fluid
The number of true capillaries is large and the contact area is large
True capillaries are tortuous and blood flow is slow
Thin tube wall and high permeability
Controlled by contraction and relaxation of the precapillary sphincter
direct access road
definition
Refers to the passage of blood from the arterioles through the posterior arterioles and blood capillaries into the venules.
The blood-flowing capillaries are the transitional part of the posterior arterioles, and their wall smooth muscles gradually reduce and disappear.
Features
It is more common in skeletal muscles, which are relatively short and straight and have low blood flow resistance. Fast flow rate, often in open state
Part of the blood quickly enters the veins through this passage to ensure the amount of blood returned from the veins to the heart.
Arteriovenous short circuit
definition
Refers to the passage of blood from the arteriole directly into the venule through the arteriovenous anastomosis branch.
Features
The blood vessel wall of this pathway is thicker, has a relatively developed longitudinal smooth muscle layer and abundant vasomotor nerve endings. The blood flow rate is fast and there is no material exchange function.
Mainly distributed in the skin of fingers, toes, lips, nose, etc. and in certain organs
Participate in body temperature regulation
Often in a closed state, it is helpful to conserve body heat
When the ambient temperature rises, the arteriovenous anastomosis branches open, increasing blood flow to the skin and conducive to heat dissipation.
In septic or toxic shock, arteriovenous short circuits and direct access pathways are widely opened. Although the patient is in shock, his skin is warm, which is called "warm shock"
Since a large amount of arterial blood enters the venules through the anastomotic branches and does not exchange materials with tissue cells, it can aggravate tissue hypoxia and worsen the condition.
Hemodynamics
blood flow
Proportional to the arteriole-venule pressure difference (blood pressure)
Depends on the ratio of capillary resistance before and after (usually 5:1)
Anterior resistance↑→It is difficult for blood to enter capillaries→Capillary pressure↓
Post-resistance↑→It is difficult for blood to leave capillaries→Capillary pressure↑
Inversely proportional to microcirculatory blood flow resistance
It is a layer of laminar flow, which depends on the relaxation and contraction state of blood vessels.
At the arterioles, blood flow resistance is greatest and blood pressure drops most significantly.
vasomotor exercise
definition
Intermittent systolic and diastolic activity of the posterior arterioles and precapillary sphincters
Determines the opening and closing of microcirculation
Arterioles are the main control factor of blood flow
process
Local metabolites regulate partial microvasomotion
During contraction, the capillaries close, resulting in the accumulation of metabolic products in the tissues around the capillaries and a decrease in O2 partial pressure.
Accumulated metabolites and hypoxic conditions, especially the latter, can in turn cause local post-arteriole and precapillary sphincters to relax, so capillaries open and metabolites accumulated in local tissues are cleared by the blood flow.
Then the posterior arterioles and precapillary sphincter contract again, closing the capillaries.
Influence
Mainly related to the metabolic activity of local tissues
Under resting conditions, only 20% to 35% of capillaries in skeletal muscle tissue are open at the same time.
When tissue metabolic activity increases, more capillaries will open, increasing the exchange area between blood and tissue, shortening the exchange distance, and increasing microcirculatory blood flow to meet the metabolic needs of the tissue.
production of tissue fluid
tissue fluid
definition
Plasma is formed by filtering through the capillary wall into the tissue space and is part of the internal environment.
capillary plasma destination
0.5%滤过到组织间隙而形成组织液
90%在静脉端被重吸收
维持组织液生成与回流平衡
10%进入毛细淋巴管形成淋巴液
Features
Most of them are jelly-like, cannot flow freely, and do not move with the influence of gravity. However, the solutes and solvents inside can diffuse and move, exchanging substances with blood and cells.
The small amount of tissue fluid close to the capillaries is in a sol state and can move
Capillaries have ion channels → high permeability to ions
Tissue fluid and plasma have similar ionic compositions and concentrations (Both crystal osmotic pressures are the same)

lymph fluid
lymph fluid
generate
Tissue fluid enters lymphatic vessels and becomes lymph
The total amount of lymph fluid produced every day is about 2-4L
Pressure difference between interstitial fluid and lymphatic fluid within lymphatic capillaries It is the driving force for tissue fluid to enter lymphatic vessels
When the tissue fluid pressure is ↑, it can speed up the production of lymph fluid.
Physiological significance of lymph circulation
Recycle protein
Lymph can bring protein molecules in tissue fluid, macromolecular substances that cannot be reabsorbed by capillaries, and red blood cells in tissues back to the blood, thereby maintaining the normal concentration of plasma proteins.
transport fat
Regulates fluid balance between plasma and interstitial fluid
Remove red blood cells, bacteria and other particles from tissues
heart pumping process
cardiac cycle
cardiac cycle
definition
A cycle of mechanical activity consisting of one contraction and one relaxation of the heart (usually the ventricles)
numerical value
If heart rate = 75 beats/minute, one cardiac cycle = 60/75 = 0.8 seconds
Heart rate: the number of heartbeats per minute, that is, the cardiac cycle that occurs in one minute
composition
Atrial activity
Shrink 0.1s Diastole 0.7s
ventricular activity
Shrink 0.3s, Diastole 0.5s
Atrial contraction occurs first, atrial contraction ends, and ventricular contraction begins (atrial contraction begins)
Sinoatrial node excitation conduction first passes through the atrial myocardium and then to the ventricular myocardium
global diastole
0.4 seconds after the atrium relaxes, the ventricles also relax (0.4 seconds before ventricular diastole)
When the heart rate accelerates, the cardiac cycle is shortened and the diastolic period is significantly shortened, which is not conducive to ventricular filling; it is also not conducive to ventricular rest and blood supply.

Pv↑
When Pa<Pv<PA, VA-v is closed and VA is closed (Pv<Pa at the beginning, VA-v is on)
Isovolumic contraction period 0.05s
That is, the ventricle contracts, but the ventricular volume does not change, and Pv rises sharply.
The ventricles are in isometric contraction (the process of increasing pressure to overcome preload) (It is equivalent to squeezing a bottle filled with water. The bottle does not deform, but the pressure does ↑)
When Pv>PA, VA opens
Rapid ejection period 0.1s (Ejection volume accounts for 70% of the total, about 70ml)
Changes in ventricular blood volume<Volume changes→Indoor pressure caused by blood ejection↓<Indoor pressure caused by volume reduction↑→Indoor pressure↑
In the early stage, the ventricle ejects a lot of blood into the aorta and the blood flow rate is fast. At the same time, the ventricular volume shrinks rapidly. Pv and PA↑, the former has a larger amplitude.
Slow down the ejection period by 0.15s
Changes in ventricular blood volume>Volume changes→Indoor pressure caused by blood ejection↓>Indoor pressure caused by volume reduction↑→Indoor pressure↓
In the later stage, the strength of ventricular contraction weakens, the ejection velocity slows down, and Pv and PA decrease. When Pv is just less than PA, due to the large kinetic energy of the blood, the reversible pressure gradient can still continue to eject blood, and finally the ventricular area reaches the minimum.
ventricular diastole
When Pa<Pv<PA, VA is closed
Isovolumic diastole period 0.06-0.08s
That is, ventricular diastole, but ventricular volume does not change, and Pv drops sharply.
When Pv<Pa, VA-v opens
Rapid filling period 0.11s (The filling amount accounts for 70% of the total)
In the early stage, ventricular diastole, Pv↓, creates a pressure difference, suction occurs, and atrial blood flows into the ventricle rapidly. The ventricular volume expands rapidly (mainly)
Slow down filling period 0.22s
Changes in ventricular blood volume>Volume changes→Indoor pressure caused by increased blood↑>Indoor pressure caused by increased volume↓→Indoor pressure↑
volume change
Ventricular filling volume ↑, pressure difference decreases, blood flow slows down, and finally the ventricular area reaches its maximum
Blood volume changes
Atrial contraction squeezes blood into the ventricles (25%)
Atrial systole 0.1s (at the end of ventricular diastole)
Slow down the last 0.1s of the filling period

numerical value
70ml÷125ml=55%-65%
significance
More reflective of heart pumping function than stroke volume
Mainly used for evaluation of cardiac function in patients with ventricular dysfunction and abnormal ventricular enlargement.
The preferred index for clinical evaluation of most left ventricular systolic functions
In the compensatory phase of heart failure, the ventricles enlarge to compensate for the stroke volume (the stroke volume changes less, ventricular end diastole ↑)
Ventricular dilation, end-diastolic volume↑→myocardial contraction↑→stroke volume↑

Minute output/cardiac output/cardiac output
definition
The amount of blood ejected from one ventricle per minute

Resting = 70ml × 75 times/min = 5~6L
Exercise=70ml×(160-180) times/minute=25~30L
(resting) heart index
definition

numerical value
Cardiac output/surface area=3-3.5L/min·m^2
significance
It can be used as an evaluation index to compare the cardiac function of individuals with different body shapes.
heart work capacity
definition
The amount of work done by the ventricles per minute
significance
For comparison between different individuals with high and low blood pressure
In patients with hypertension, the arterial blood pressure increases. In order to overcome the increased ejection resistance, the myocardium must increase its contractile strength to keep the stroke volume constant, so the cardiac work volume will increase.
heart pump reserve
maximum cardiac output
definition
Cardiac output is the ability to increase correspondingly with the body's metabolic needs. It is generally expressed by the maximum amount of blood that the heart can eject per minute, also known as cardiac reserve.
numerical value
Cardiac output is 5-6L at rest and can reach 25-30L during exercise
include

heart rate reserve
mechanism
Increase heart rate without changing stroke volume
Heart rate is too fast, diastole is too short → insufficient ventricular filling → stroke volume↓
reserves
Resting: 60-100 times/min During exercise: 160-180 times/min
Note
The order of size of mental reserve is Heart rate reserve>systolic reserve>diastolic reserve
Under normal circumstances, cardiac output is increased mainly through increased heart rate and enhanced ventricular contraction.
When the body needs it, it first uses the heart rate reserve to increase cardiac output.
Factors affecting cardiac output
Output volume = Stroke volume × Heart rate
stroke volume
front load
definition
The load encountered by the myocardium before contraction (end-diastole)
ventricular end-diastolic volume/pressure
It can also be expressed as atrial pressure (During ventricular diastole, the atrium and ventricle are connected and the pressure is the same)
mechanism
heterologous autoregulation (law of the heart)
definition
Causes changes in myocardial contractility by changing the initial length of the myocardium (ventricular end-diastolic volume)
ventricular function curve
Atrial pressure represents ventricular end-diastolic pressure
Heart contractility ↑→ curve moves upward to the left
Performance
5~15mmHg
is the rising branch of the curve As ventricular end-diastolic pressure increases, ventricular stroke work also increases
Under normal conditions, the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is only 5~6mmHg, and the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is 12~15mmHg, which is the optimal preload of the ventricle, indicating that the ventricle has a large initial length reserve.
15~20mmHg
curve tends to flatten
>20mmHg
No obvious descending branch
After exceeding the optimal initial length, Preload changes have little impact on stroke work
Anti-overderivatization properties of myocardium
The stretchability of the myocardium is small → the myocardium will rupture if it is overstretched forcibly
Severe ventricular disease will cause the descending branch to appear
significance
Within a certain range, an increase in ventricular end-diastolic volume can enhance myocardial contractility, thereby increasing stroke volume.
Finely adjust the small changes in stroke volume to adjust the volume of ventricular ejection and venous return to the heart To maintain a balance between the ventricular end-diastolic volume and pressure within the normal range

For the left ventricle, aortic pressure, For the right ventricle, the pulmonary artery pressure
mechanism
heterometric regulation
short term arterial blood pressure↑
The ventricles need to overcome resistance↑
Isovolumic contraction phase ↑, ejection phase ↓ Ejection velocity↓
Stroke volume↓→residual blood volume↑→preload↑ →Myocardial contraction↑→Stroke volume↑
Arterial blood pressure is at high levels, But the change in stroke volume is small
long arterial blood pressure↑
Long-term myocardial contraction → the stroke work of the heart increases and the heart efficiency decreases →Myocardial hypertrophy (decompensation)→Pumping function↓→Stroke volume↓↓
The external work done by the ejection of blood during one contraction of the ventricle
Isometric adjustment
When arterial pressure changes, the body changes myocardial contractility through isometric regulation of the neuro-humoral mechanism.
significance
Determines the speed at which the ventricles contract and the time it takes for the ventricular muscles to reach maximum tension.

significance
Heart contraction↑ (Figure A)
Due to the enhanced contraction ability of the heart, the amount of blood remaining in the ventricle at the end of systole decreases, that is, the left ventricular volume decreases → the fa segment representing isovolumic diastole shifts to the left
The pressure volume loop moves to the left, ESPVR slope increases
Front load↑ (Picture B)
The increase in preload means that the end-diastolic volume increases, that is, the corresponding cd segment expands to the right.
Pressure volume loop moves to the right
Afterload↑ (Picture C)
When afterload increases, that is, when aortic pressure increases, the heart needs to contract more strongly to eject blood. During the isovolumetric contraction period, stronger contractile force needs to be accumulated, that is, the fa segment becomes longer.
The increase in afterload will also shorten the ejection period, so the df segment will be shortened.
Pressure volume ring moves up

The sodium pump in the cell membrane continuously pumps out Na⁺ and pumps in K⁺ Maintain high intracellular potassium and low extracellular potassium
direction
High concentration → low concentration (potassium rectifies inwardly the potassium channel IK1 from intracellular to extracellular)
resistance
Potential difference
form
Negatively charged organic ions in the membrane accumulate on the inner surface of the membrane because the cell membrane is almost impermeable to them, thus limiting the outflow of K⁺ to the outer surface of the membrane. As a result, there is a potential difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane, which is negative inside and positive outside, which is the K⁺ diffusion potential.
direction
Prevent the ion from continuing to diffuse (prevent potassium efflux)
The difference in ion concentration and Balance of transmembrane potential difference
The concentration difference is basically constant → the driving force of the concentration difference remains unchanged
With the continuous outflow of potassium, the potential difference accumulates K↑ outside the cell → the potential difference is negative inside and positive outside↑
The potential difference continues to increase until it is equal to the concentration difference driving force (the electrochemical driving force is zero)
The algebraic sum of the two driving forces that affect the movement of charged ions, the transmembrane electric field and the ion concentration difference, is called the electro-chemical driving force of the ions.
The net diffusion of this ion is zero, and the potential difference on both sides of the membrane is stable.
The stable potential difference at this time is the equilibrium potential of the ion.
Action potential
The period from the beginning of period 0 to the end of period 3 is called the action potential duration (APD), 200-300ms.

process
Depolarization/Issue 0
Determine the speed of conduction
mechanism
Sodium inward current INa (main)
After the ventricular muscle is stimulated, it reaches the threshold potential (-70mv), fast sodium channels are opened in large quantities, and Na⁺ follows the concentration and potential gradient. Rapid entry into the cell (production of INa), depolarization occurs, depolarization reaches 0 mv, fast sodium channels begin to inactivate until 30 mv are all inactivated
T-type calcium current ICa-T
The threshold potential is similar to that of fast sodium channels, but the inward current formed is weak and has little effect on depolarization.
Features
regenerative influx
Fast sodium channels are voltage-gated channels. The higher the degree of depolarization, the more Na channels are opened and the stronger INa is, forming a positive feedback between INa and membrane depolarization.
Depolarization is brief and rapid (the curve is extremely sloped)
Influencing factors
Tetrodotoxin TTX (type I antiarrhythmic drug/sodium channel blocker) can block INa
Early stage of repolarization/Phase 1
mechanism

Delayed rectifier potassium current IK
Features
It is time-dependent, and the channel gradually opens over time.
significance
The current is weak in the early stage and strong in the later stage.
process
Early days
The weaker IK1 (IK is extremely weak at this time) is balanced with the ICa-L current Outward current ≈ inward current
The potential changes slowly (the main part of the plateau phase)
determines the length of the effective refractory period
later stage (i.e. 3 issues)
Ik is enhanced so that outward current > inward current
The negative value of the membrane increases, causing IK1 to gradually open, and the outward current increases. The negative value of the membrane and the size of the current form a positive feedback
rapid repolarization of potential
Features
Action potential duration: cardiomyocytes>nerves.skeletal muscles
Is a unique change in myocardial cells
Influencing factors
Calcium channel blockers (verapamil) block ICa-L
While depolarization weakens, Ik1 increases
The plateau period is greatly shortened
End of repolarization/stage 3
mechanism
Ik is enhanced so that outward current > inward current
The negative value of the membrane increases, causing IK1 to gradually open, and the outward current increases. The negative value of the membrane and the size of the current form a positive feedback
rapid repolarization of potential
Features
Class III antiarrhythmic drugs prevent Ik
Resting phase/Phase 4
mechanism

K means internal transportation, Na means external transportation
Sodium calcium exchanger enhancement
Na for internal transport, Ca2 for external transport
Calcium pump enhancement

atrial myocytes
Electricity generation is similar to ventricular myocardium, but there are certain differences
resting potential
There are fewer Ik1 channels → The resting potential is less negative → Normal potential: -80mV
Action potential
Ito has more channels
The current can last until period 2
The plateau period is shortened, and it is even difficult to distinguish periods 2 and 3.
Presence of acetylcholine-sensitive potassium current IK-ACh
Under the action of ACh, a large number of openings → the repolarization process is shortened, Even hyperpolarization occurs
autonomous cells
Sinoatrial node P cell action potential
-70mv-30mv
Features
The action potential depolarization speed and amplitude are small (-70mv), and there is little overshoot.
Ik1 has fewer channels
After the completion of the third phase of repolarization, depolarization is automatically generated, causing the membrane potential to gradually decrease (the fourth phase of automatic depolarization)
When depolarization reaches the quenching potential level, an action potential can erupt.
It is the basis for the spontaneous rhythmic activity of sinoatrial node cells.
Phase 4 potential is unstable, and the absolute value of the maximum repolarization potential MRP is small.
process
Phase 0 (depolarization)
mechanism
L-type calcium current ICa-L
When automatic depolarization reaches the threshold potential (-40mv), the slow calcium channel opens, causing Ca2 inflow (ICa-L formation)
Influencing factors
Calcium channel blocker (verapamil)
No phases 1 and 2 (no Ito channel)
Phase 3 (repolarization)
Ik is activated, K flows out, and repolarization occurs

Outward current weakens
Automatic depolarization plays the biggest role
When polarized to a certain level (-50mv), IK begins to decay progressively
Increased inward current
Early stage
Inward ion current If
Features
Time dependence, mainly Na internal flow
mechanism
Hyperpolarization (-100mV) activation
The maximum negative potential of P cells is -70mv, so the If current intensity is small
Phase 3 repolarization can appear after it reaches a certain level, but is significantly enhanced in phase 4
later stage
T-type calcium current ICa-T
Features
A rapidly decaying inward current with a low threshold potential
mechanism

Depolarization reaches threshold potential and activates ICa-L
new action potential
Influencing factors
Adrenergic potentiation of ICa-T and If
Cesium Cs blocks If
Note
There is a fast sodium channel INa on the cell membrane of P
However, the maximum negative electrode potential of P cells is about -65mV, which cannot reach the threshold potential of fast sodium channels, and fast sodium channels are in an inactivated state.
IK-ACh is also present on P cell membranes
Under the action of ACh, the maximum repolarization potential increases → automatic depolarization time course↑
Purkinje cell action potential
process
Stage 0.1.2.3 is basically similar to ventricular myocytes
the difference
Purkinje depolarization is faster in period 0 and obvious in period 1
Phase 2 is fast, phase 3 has a larger maximum repolarization potential (high Ik1 density)
Phase 4 membrane potential instability
Issue 4
When the 3rd stage repolarization reaches about -50mV
Outward current weakens
Ik channel closes→Ik current gradually decreases
Increased inward current
If channel is open → continues to increase with time and negative changes in membrane potential
-100mV, up to maximum
Features
If there are few channels, the automatic depolarization speed is not as fast as that of P cells
The duration of automatic depolarization determines the duration of action potential
自律细胞时程<工作细胞
浦肯野细胞<P细胞
less rhythmic than P cells
Purkinje fibers are depressed by the overdrive of the sinoatrial node
Once sinus rhythm stops, Purkinje cell automaticity cannot occur immediately. This is the main mechanism that causes ventricular arrest for a certain period of time when atrioventricular block suddenly occurs.

Note
Relative to the refractory period and the supernormal period, which channel is open? However, the membrane potential is still lower than the resting potential
The opening rate and number of Na channels are lower than the resting potential
The speed and amplitude of depolarization in stage 0 are not as good as normal.
The potential duration and refractory period are both short
Excitation conduction speed is also slower
significance
Effective refractory period (ERP) reflects the depolarizing ability of the membrane (change in gNa) Action potential duration (APD) mainly reflects the repolarization speed of the membrane (change in gK)
Generally speaking, the relative extension of ERP (ERP/APD↑) has anti-arrhythmic effects
Quinidine prolongs both ERP and APD, but the prolongation of ERP is greater than that of APD.
Lidocaine shortens both ERP and APD, but the shortening of ERP is smaller than the shortening of APD.

conductivity
definition
Myocardium has the ability to conduct excitement
Adjacent cardiomyocytes are connected by intercalary disks, and there are many gap junctions in the sarcolemma at the intercalated disks, forming hydrophilic channels that communicate between adjacent cells, allowing action potentials to be transmitted from one cardiomyocyte to another. to another adjacent cardiomyocyte, thereby achieving excitation conduction between cells
Purkinje fibers conduct the fastest
Purkinje fibers are distributed in the ventricular wall in a network, so they can quickly transmit excitement to the ventricular myocardium → all ventricular cells in a single ventricle are excited at the same time
ventricular muscle fiber conduction
The intraventricular conduction system conducts excitement rapidly, so the left and right ventricles also excite and contract almost simultaneously, forming a functional syncytium.
The slowest speed is at the room-room junction
room delay
definition
The atrioventricular node/AV junction area has the slowest conduction velocity and is the only way for excitement to be transmitted from the atrium to the ventricle. Therefore, there is a time delay in the occurrence of excitement through this area.
significance
Ensure that the ventricle contracts after the atrium has completed contraction (not at the same time), which is beneficial to ventricular filling and ejection
It is also the site most prone to conduction block.

mechanism
Sinoatrial node controls underlying pacing
Be the first to occupy
It has high self-discipline. Before the self-regulatory tissue automatically depolarizes to the threshold potential level, the sinoatrial node impulse has been transmitted, which directly depolarizes it to the threshold potential level to produce AP.
overdrive depression
After the sinoatrial node impulse or external driving stimulus stops, the autonomic tissue cannot immediately express its inherent rhythm, and it takes a period of time to gradually restore its autonomic nature (ventricular asystole occurs)

room delay
Ensure that the ventricle contracts after the atrium has completed contraction (not at the same time), which is beneficial to ventricular filling and ejection
Dependence on extracellular Ca2
The terminal pool of cardiomyocytes is underdeveloped and stores less Ca2. The Ca2 required for excitation-contraction coupling mainly comes from extracellular fluid.
When the myocardium is excited, extracellular Ca (10%~20%) flows into the cytoplasm through the L-type calcium channels in the sarcolemma and transversal membrane, triggering the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release a large amount of Ca (80%~90%), causing the cells to The increase in plasma Ca concentration causes myocardial contraction, a process also known as calcium-induced calcium release (CICR).
When the myocardium relaxes, the calcium pump on the sarcoplasmic reticulum actively pumps Ca back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum against the concentration difference. In addition, Ca is also excreted out of the cell through the calcium pump and Na-Ca exchanger in the sarcolemma, increasing the cytoplasmic Ca concentration. decreases, allowing myocardial cells to relax
