Lecture Outline
Heart
• Creates pressure to pump blood
Capillaries
• Exchange of O2, CO2, and nutrients with tissues
Pulmonary circuit
• Right side of the heart
• Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via pulmonary arteries
• Returns oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart via pulmonary
veins
Systemic circuit
• Left side of the heart
• Pumps oxygenated blood to the whole body via arteries
• Returns deoxygenated blood to the right side of the heart via veins
Systole
• Contraction phase
• Ejection of blood
• Approximately 2/3 blood is ejected from ventricles per beat
Diastole
• Relaxation phase
• Filling with blood
At rest
• Diastolic time is longer than systolic time
During exercise
• The duration of both systole and diastole are shorter

The cardiac cycle at rest and during exercise
Diastole
• Pressure in ventricles is low
• Filling with blood from atria
• AV valves open when ventricular Pressure < atrial Pressure
Systole
• Pressure in ventricles rises
• Blood ejected in pulmonary and systemic circulation
• Semilunar valves open when ventricular Pressure > aortic Pressure
Heart sounds
• First: closing of AV valves
• Second: closing of aortic and pulmonary valves
Heart sounds
First: closing of AV valves
Second: closing of aortic and
pulmonary valves
Expressed as systolic/diastolic
• Normal is 120/80 mmHg
Systolic pressure
• Pressure generated during ventricular contraction
Diastolic pressure
• Pressure in the arteries during cardiac relaxation
Pulse pressure
• Difference between systolic and diastolic
Secondary hypertension
• Result of some other disease process
Short-term regulation
• Sympathetic nervous system
• Baroreceptors in aorta and carotid arteries
• Increase in BP = decreased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity
• Decrease in BP = increased SNS activity
Long-term regulation
• Kidneys
• Via control of blood volume
P wave
Atrial depolarization
QRS complex
Ventricular depolarization
and atrial repolarization
T wave
Ventricular repolarization
Atherosclerosis
• Fatty plaque that narrows coronary arteries
• Reduces blood flow to myocardium
• Myocardial ischemia
Q = HR × SV

Typical Resting and Maximal Exercise Values for Stroke Volume (SV), Heart Rate (HR), and
Cardiac Output for College-Age Untrained Subjects and Trained Endurance Athletes (Body
Weights: Male = 70 kg; Female = 50 kg)
Frank-Starling mechanism
• Greater EDV results in a more forceful contraction
• Due to stretch of ventricles
Plasma
• Liquid portion of blood
• Contains ions, proteins, hormones
Cells
• Red blood cells
• Contain hemoglobin to carry oxygen
• White blood cells
• Important in preventing infection
• Platelets
• Important in blood clotting
Haematocrit
• Percentage of blood composed of cells
Blood flow
• Directly proportional to the pressure difference between the two ends of
the system
• Inversely proportional to resistance
Pressure
Blood flow
Resistance
Pressure
• Proportional to the difference between MAP and right atrial pressure

Radius 4
• Increased SV
• Increase, then plateau at 40 to 60% VO2 max
• No plateau in highly trained subjects
Q = SV x HR
Fick equation
• Relationship between cardiac output (Q), a-vO2 difference, and VO2
During recovery
• Decrease in HR, SV, and cardiac output toward resting levels
• Depends on:
• Duration and intensity of exercise
• Training state of subject
Blood pressure
• Mean arterial pressure increases linearly
• Systolic BP increases
• Diastolic BP remains fairly constant
TABLE 9.3 Changes in the Double Product (for example, Heart Rate × Systolic Blood
Pressure) during an Incremental Exercise Test in a Healthy 21-Year-Old Female Subject
Note that the double product is a dimensionless term that reflects the relative changes in
the workload placed on the heart during exercise and other forms of stress.
