Cardiac work and contractility.
It has been customary to regard the heart as a pump maintaining the flow of blood, and to assess the work done by the heart from the pressure and volume of blood leaving the ventricles. While correct in physical terms, measurement of external cardiac work in this way is a poor index of the myocardial oxygen consumption which is related to the work done by the ventricular muscle. Systolic pressu...
متن کاملRegulation of Cardiac Muscle Contractility
The heart's physiological performance, unlike that of skeletal muscle, is regulated primarily by variations in the contractile force developed by the individual myocardial fibers. In an attempt to identify the basis for the characteristic properties of myocardial contraction, the individual cardiac contractile proteins and their behavior in contractile models in vitro have been examined. The lo...
متن کاملEndothelial cells regulate cardiac contractility.
Endothelial cells lining the lumen of blood vessels contain the receptors for many substances that alter the contractile tone of smooth muscle in the walls of the blood vessels. In response to their interaction with the signal substances, the endothelial cells release vasoactive factors that modify the contractile state of the vascular smooth muscle. This study was conducted to determine if end...
متن کاملCyclic adenosine monophosphate and cardiac contractility.
• This review examines critically the evidence bearing on the hypothesis that the positive inotropic effects of catecholamines are mediated by intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). The review is selective in several respects. For example, it does not contain extensive discussions about the biochemical actions of cyclic AMP, the enzymes regulating its synthesis and degradati...
متن کاملVasodepressor neurons in medulla alter cardiac contractility and cardiac output.
We injected neuroexcitatory and neuroinhibitory agents into the depressor region of the caudal ventrolateral medulla of anesthetized rabbits and determined the effect on arterial pressure, myocardial contractility, cardiac output, and plasma catecholamines and neuropeptide Y. Brief excitation of the sympathoinhibitory neurons with medullary injection of L-glutamate reduced arterial pressure, pe...
