Although the heart is not considered an endocrine organ, in response to blood pressure
increase within the heart, the right atrium produces Atrial Natriuretic Hormone (ANH),which lowers blood pressure by decreasing Na+ concentration and antagonizingaldosterone.

The cardiac conduction system. The S-A (sinoatrial) note is derived from the sinus venosus,
an embryonic structure in mammals, which can be seen in an adult shark. It forms the firstportion of the pacemaker of the heart, and normally initiates the heartbeat. The green linesrepresent the conductive fibers that carry the impulse over the atria and to the A-V(atrioventricular) node, which carries the impulse into the walls of the ventricles andpapillary muscles.

Be able to identify the following ECG patterns, and calculate the heart rates of each. Be able
to use three methods to calculate heart rate: 1) heart beats in 6 seconds X 10 = HR; 2) 1500divided by number of small squares between QRS peaks ( example below: 1500/15 = 100HR); and 3) number of dark vertical bars between QRS peaks: 1 = 300, 2 = 150, 3 = 100, 4 = 75,5 = 60, 6 = 50. Remember that 1 dark bar = 0.2 sec, 2 = 0.4 sec, 3 = 0.6 sec, 4 = 0.8 sec, 5 = 1 sec.

Pulse pressure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pulse Pressure is most easily defined as being the amount of pressure required to create the feeling of a
pulse. Measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), the pressure difference between the systolic and
diastolic pressures give you the amount of pressure change to create the pulse, which is the pulse
pressure. If your resting blood pressure is (systolic/diastolic) 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg),your pulse pressure is 40 which is considered a normal and healthy pulse pressure.
Values and variation
Low (Narrow) Pulse Pressure
A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value. The most
common cause of a low (narrow) pulse pressure is a drop in left ventricular stroke volume. In trauma a
low or narrow pulse pressure suggests significant blood loss (insufficient preload leading to reduced
cardiac output).[4]
If the pulse pressure is extremely low, i.e. 25 mmHg or less, the cause may be low stroke volume, as in
Congestive Heart Failureand/orshock.

A narrow pulse pressure is also caused byaortic stenosisandcardiac tamponade.
[edit] High (Wide) Pulse Pressure
[edit]High values during or shortly after exercise
Usually, the restingpulsepressure in healthy adults, sitting position, is about 40mmHg. The pulse
pressure increases with exercise due to increased stroke volume,
[5]
healthy values being up to pulsepressures of about 100 mmHg, simultaneously astotal peripheral resistancedrops during exercise. In
healthy individuals the pulse pressure will typically return to normal within about 10 minutes. For most
individuals, during aerobic exercise, thesystolicpressure progressively increases while thediastolic
remains about the same. In some very aerobically athletic individuals, for example distance runners, the
diastolicwill progressively fall as thesystolicincreases. This behavior facilitates a much greater increase
instroke volumeandcardiac outputat a lowermean arterial pressureand enables much greater aerobic
capacity and physical performance. The diastolic drop reflects a much greater fall in total peripheral
resistance of the musclearteriolesin response to the exercise (a greater proportion of red versus white
muscle tissue). Individuals with larger BMI's due to increased muscle mass (body builders) have also
been shown to have lower diastolic pressures and larger pulse pressures.[6]
[edit]Consistently high values
If the usual resting pulse pressure is consistently greater than 40 mmHg, e.g. 60 or 80 mmHg, the most
likely basis is stiffness of the major arteries,aortic regurgitation(a leak in theaortic valve),arteriovenous
malformation(an extra path for blood to travel from a high pressure artery to a low pressure vein without
the gradient of a capillary bed),hyperthyroidismor some combination. (A chronically increased stroke
volume is also a technical possibility, but very rare in practice.) While some drugs for hypertension have
the side effect of increasing resting pulse pressure irreversibly, other hypertension drugs, such asACE
Inhibitors, have been shown to lower pulse pressure. A high resting pulse pressure is harmful and tends to
accelerate the normal aging of body organs, particularly the heart, the brain and kidneys. A high pulse
pressure combined withbradycardiaand an irregular breathing pattern is associated with increasedintracranial pressureand should be reported to a physician immediately. This is known as theCushing
reflexand can be seen in patients after head trauma related to intracranial hemorrhage or edema.
