• Preload: diastolic filling volume of the left ventricle (EDV reflects stretch of the cardiac muscle cells)
• Afterload: resistance to ventricular emptying during systole (the amount of pressure the left ventricle must generate to squeeze blood into the aorta
• Frank Starling Law of the Heart - the heart will contract with greater force when preload (EDV) is increased
• Myocardial Contractility - the squeezing force that the heart can develop at a given preload• regulated by:
• sympathetic nerve activity (most influential)• catecholamines (epinephrine norepinephrine)• amount of contractile mass • drugs

VIII. NORMAL CARDIAC CYCLE
Phase I: Ventricular diastolic filling; this phase extends from the opening until the closure of the mitral valve. The normal diastolic chamber compliance ( ▲ V/ ▼ P) is high so intraventricular pressure rise is minimal.Frank Starling Law applies.
Phase II: Ventricular isovolumic contraction; phase two extends from mitral valve closure to aortic valve opening.
Intracavity systolic pressure rises rapidly to aortic diastolic pressure. The ventricular volume remains the same.

Normal Cardiac Cycle
– Phase III: Left ventricular ejection; this phase begins when the aortic valve opens (LV systolic pressure exceeds aortic pressure) and extends until aortic valve closure (aortic pressure exceeds LV end systolic pressure).
– Phase IV: Isovolumic relaxation; this phase extends from the aortic valve closure until mitral valve opening.

PRESSURE VOLUME LOOP
The normal pressure volume loop is shown in Figure 1.
Beginning at point A, the mitral valve opens and rapid ventricular filling begins.
Filling continues to B where following atrial contraction, systole begins and the mitral valve closes.
![Page 25: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PRESSURE VOLUME LOOP
The segment AB illustrates the diastolic pressure volume relationship of compliance of the ventricle.
At C, following a period of isovolumic contraction, the aortic valve opens and ejection begins.
Point D, depicts aortic valve closure and the end of systole.
Segment DA is the beginning of diastole – the period of isovolumic relaxation.

Know : preload
when end-diastolic volume (preload) increases, the LV empties to the previous end diastolic volume. SV increases
when end-diastolic volume (preload)
decreases, the LV empties to the previous end diastolic volume. SV decreases
![Page 29: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Know: afterload
when afterload increases, the heart empties less completely (decreased SV). Both preload and end-systolic volume increase in this case. Ventricular chamber dilates
when afterload decreases, the heart empties more completely (increased SV). Both preload and end-diastolic volume decrease in this case. Ventricular chamber size decreases or “shrinks”.
![Page 30: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Know: contractility
when contractility increases, ventricle empties more completely (decreased end-systolic); and decreased end-diastolic, but not as much as end-systolic, so SV increases
when contractility decreases, end-systolic volume increases; end-diastolic increases, but not as much as end-systolic vol., so SV decreases

Cont.
Heart cath shows less than 50% lesion in RCA, and SEVERE MR.
What happened? Taken to OR emergently. PA cath pressures just prior to CPB were 80-90
(BAD = of pressures) mmHg and systemic systolic BP was 90-100 mmHg.
Pink frothy sputum in ETT. Difficult to ventilate.

Regurgitant Lesions
Volumn overload of LA or LV
![Page 37: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Mitral Regurgitation
Left atrial volume overload secondary to blood flowing back into the LA.
Causes: MI, endocarditis, mitral valve stenosis, dilation of the mitral valve secondary to LV hypertrophy.
Clinical signs: pansystolic murmur at LL sternal border/apex, regurgitation factor >0.6, pulmonary edema, and ↑ PVR
Anesthetic goal: mild ↑ HR , mild decrease in SVR FAST, FULL, FORWARD
![Page 38: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Acute vs Chronic MR
Acute MR: No LV/LA enlargement, LVED and LA pressures are higher. SR ususally present
Chronic MR LA and LV are usually enlarged. Pressures are above normal but not severe.
What is the usual rhythm? afib Why? Due to stretch.
![Page 39: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
AI
Leads to volume overload of the LV causing syncope, angina and dyspnea (CHF)
Decrescendo murmer (why- think of the pathophysiology)
Aortic runoff leads to decreased diastolic BP and hence?
Acutely is usually caused by subacute bacterial endocarditis

Aortic Stenosis
Survival based on symptoms if untreated (angina = 5yrs, CHF = 3 yrs, Syncope =1yr)
Ischemia especially threatening in AS setting 2ndary to LVH- pump against force
Must maintain diastolic pressures (decreased SVR= decreased CPP)
Anesthesia Goals:– Avoid increased HR and decreased SVR– Atrial kick (30% kick) VERY important for CO hence
rapid HR and A Fib poorly tolerated.
![Page 44: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Stenotic Lesions
Cause pressure overload
Avoid increases in HR and decreases in SVR
Sevo/Iso ; not Des- tachy /Halothane- d/t sensization of catecholamine
Mitral Stenosis causes a fixed CO and increased PP leading to edema and RV failure
![Page 45: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mitral Stenosis
Normal valve 4-6 cm moderate to severe is <2 cm.

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping
The principle is to:1. reduce the afterload and 2. increase coronary perfusion by lowering the
systolic and raising the diastolic pressure. A plastic balloon is placed in the thoracic aorta
and alternately inflated and deflated in time with the heartbeat.
This procedure is a short term measure and is only used in specialized centers.

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping
1. Medical use has been confined mainly to patients with cardiogenic shock following myocardial infarction and
2. In patients with unstable angina have been treated by counterpulsation before coronary arteriography.
3. Balloon counterpulsation has also been used preoperatively in patients going to surgery with high-risk coronary artery disease and poor left ventricular function.
4. It has also been used in patients with acute mitral regurgitation and 5. Rupture of the ventricular septum with myocardial infarction or
trauma.

INTRODUCTION
13 million Americans (7%) of population have coronary artery disease.
Half of all deaths related to cardiovascular disease result from CAD.
Coronary Artery disease is the leading cause of death among American men and women
![Page 52: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Facts on Heart Disease 1 in 3 adults – both men and women - has some form of cardiovascular
disease. About every 26 seconds an American will suffer a coronary event and about
every minute someone will die from one. Each year about 1.5 million Americans will have a heart attack with absolutely
no warning signs. For about half of those, the heart attack will be fatal.
In 90% of adult victims of sudden cardiac death, two or more major coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked.
Brain death and permanent death start to occur in just 4-6 minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest.
The cardiac 64 CT scan provides 3-D images of the heart so detailed heart disease can be detected even at the earliest stages. It is in the earliest stages that heart disease is the most treatable.
In the time it took to read this, two people had a coronary event and one of them died.

Myocardial Ischemia
Related to myocardial oxygen supply and demand Demand determined by:
– Wall tension (preload and afterload)– Contractility (max velocity of contraction)– Heart rate
Myocardial oxygen supply determined by:– Coronary blood flow X arterial O2 content
Coronary blood flow determined by CPP (Dys – LVED) and patency of coronary arteries

Diagnosis
For intraoperative ischemia the standard monitor is? What is the most sensitive? – ST segment changes are a sensitive indication
of perturbation in the O2 supply and demand relationship
– Other events must occur first Increased LVEDV-LVEDP Regional wall motion abnormalities Decreased EF

Assessment Echocardiography
Gastroscope with transducer
Echocardiography is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic method in which pulses of high frequency sound are transmitted into the body.
The “echoes” of the ultrasound returning from the surfaces of the heart and other structures are electronically plotted and recorded.
One, two, or three-dimensional images can be created to demonstrate heart and vessel anatomy, abnormalities and disease states.

transducer to the front of the chest. The ultrasound beam travels through the chest wall (skin, muscle, bone, tissue) and lungs to reach the heart. Because it travels through the front of the chest or thorax a standard echocardiogram is also known as a TRANSTHORACIC echo.
At times, closely positioned ribs, obesity and emphysema may create technical difficulties by limiting the transmission of the ultrasound beams to and from the heart.
A transesophageal echo, the echo transducer is placed in the esophagus. Since the esophagus sits behind the heart, the echo beam does not have to travel through the front of the chest, avoiding many of the obstacles described above. It offers a much clearer image of the heart, particularly, the back structures, such as the left atrium, which may not be seen as well by a standard echo taken from the front of the heart.

DopplerIn Doppler-echocardiography, the “speed”
at which blood flows can be measured for estimating pressure changes in evaluating heart valve function. (Shows how fast it is flowing)
Doppler color flow mapping superimposes color to show the direction of blood flow across valves or through small defects in the heart.

95% of ischemic events can be detected by analysis of the the info from these two leads
Lead II axis parallels the atria showing P wave better than other leads which enhances diagnosis of dysrhythmias and detection of inferior wall ischemia.
Lead V5 lies over 5th intercostal space and ant axillary line. Good compromise position for detecting anterior and lateral wall ischemia. True V5 lead only possible with at least 5 lead wires.

Decrease Myocardial O2 Demand– Decrease preload increases with NTG– Avoid and treat tachycardia (start slowly and
temporarily –why? Hr 90’s try esmolol-just a little; beta blockers may not be tol as a big dose; just give a little and then give more if needed; don’t give metroprolol. )

How much oxygen is in the blood
The amount of oxygen in the blood is calculated using the formula: [1.34 x Hgb x (SaO2/100)] + 0.003 x PO2 = 20.8ml Oxygen is carried in the blood in two forms:
a) dissolved b) bound to hemoglobin. Dissolved oxygen obeys Henry’s law – the amount of oxygen
dissolved is proportional to the partial pressure. For each mmHg of PO2 there is 0.003 ml O2/dl (100ml of blood). If this was the only source of oxygen, then with a normal cardiac output of 5L/min, oxygen delivery would only be 15 ml/min.
Tissue O2 requirements at rest are approximately 250ml/min, so this source, at normal atmospheric pressure, is inadequate.
![Page 77: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
Hemoglobin is the main carrier of oxygen
Each gram of hemoglobin can carry 1.34ml of oxygen. This means that with a hemoglobin concentration of 15g/dl, the O2 content is approximately 20ml/100ml.
With a normal cardiac output of 5l/min, the delivery of oxygen to the tissues at rest is approximately 1000 ml/min: a huge physiologic reserve.
Hemoglobin has 4 binding sites for oxygen, and if all of these in each hemoglobin molecule were to be occupied, then the oxygen capacity would be filled or saturated. This is rarely the case: under normal conditions, the hemoglobin is 97% to 98% saturated. The amount of oxygen in the blood is therefore related to the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin.
Taking all of these factors into account, we can calculate the oxygen content of blood where the PO2 is 100mmHg, and the hemoglobin concentration is 15g/L:
[1.34 x Hb x (saturation/100)] + 0.003 x PO2 = 20.8ml
This figure changes mostly with the hemoglobin concentration: when the patient is anemic the oxygen content falls, when polycythemic, it rises.In either case the O2 saturation of hemoglobin may be 97 – 100%, but there may be a large discrepancy in content.

Oxygen Transport Hemoglobin is a molecule composed of four subunits. Each subunit is a protein
chain attached to a porphyrin ring containing one iron atom. As each iron atom can bind one oxygen (O2) molecule, hemoglobin can carry one, two, three, or four oxygen molecules.
Normal blood contains about 15-16 grams hemoglobin per 100 ml. Each gram of hemoglobin can carry about 1.34 ml of gaseous oxygen. Fully saturated arterial blood will contain about 20 ml of oxygen per 100 cc. The volume of oxygen in the blood is referred to as the O2 content. Because O2 content is dependent on the hemoglobin concentration, it doesn’t provide a good measure of lung function. The partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), as measured in arterial blood, does provide an accurate picture of gas exchange in the lung.
The relative amount of oxygen in the blood compared to the carrying capacity of the hemoglobin is called the oxygen saturation, and is expressed as a percentage. It’s directly proportional to the PaO2 — the partial pressure of oxygen.
The hemoglobin in arterial blood is only about 97% saturated with oxygen because of venous blood that passes directly through the lung (physiologic shunt). Venous blood is about 75% saturated.

103
Stunned
Stunned - Acute ischemia (e.g., major coronary occlusion) can lead to stunning (segmental dysfunction) which is persistent for a variable period of time, up to two weeks, even after ischemia has been relieved. This a mismatched situation, in which MBF is normal, but function is depressed.
If ischemia lasts longer than 20 minutes, subendocardial necrosis usually begins. The clinical scenario is, e.g., acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or cardiac surgery.
![Page 104: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
104
stunned myocardium Stunned myocardium is a state when some section of the
myocardium (corresponding to area of a major coronary occlusion) shows a form of contractile abnormality. This is a segmental dysfunction which persists for a variable period of time, about two weeks, even after ischemia has been relieved (by for instance angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery).
In this situation, while myocardial blood flow (MBF) returns to normal, function is still depressed for a variable period of time.
Clinical situations of stunned myocardium are: acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) after cardiac surgery
![Page 105: Cardiac Anesthesia Part 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557aad1bd8b42a70408b4be4/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
105
hibernating myocardium Hibernating myocardium is a state when some segments of the
myocardium exhibit abnormalities of contractile function. These abnormalities can be visualized during echocardiography or ventriculography. The wall of the affected segments is ( hypokinetic, akinetic, or dyskinetic.
The phenomenon is highly significant clinically because it usually manifests itself in setting of chronic ischemia, which is potentially reversible by revascularization. The regions of myocardium are still viable and can restore its function. A new steady state develops between MBF and myocardial function, MBF is reduced and function is reduced. The clinical situations in which hibernating myocardium are:
chronic stable angina unstable angina silent ischemia after AMI
