Pathology of the Heart
• Damage to AV node = release of ventricles from control = slower heart beat
• Slower heart beat can lead to fibrillation• Fibrillation = lack of blood flow to the heart• Tachycardia = more than 100 beats/min• Bradychardia = less than 60 beats/min

The Heart: Cardiac OutputThe Heart: Cardiac Output
Slide 11 18
• Cardiac output (CO)•Amount of blood pumped by each side of
the heart in one minute
•CO = (heart rate [HR]) x (stroke volume [SV])
• Stroke volume•Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle
in one contraction
![Page 26: The Cardiovascular System - Fisiokinesiterapia · 2017-01-10 · The Cardiovascular System Slide 11.1 •A closed system of the heart and blood vessels •The heart pumps blood •Blood](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011906/5f3c6c5bce6ee75e2f619069/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cardiac output, cont.
• CO = HR x SV• 5250 ml/min = 75 beats/min x 70 mls/beat• Norm = 5000 ml/min• Entire blood supply passes through body
once per minute.• CO varies with demands of the body.

Slide 11 20
• Stroke volume usually remains relatively constant•Starling’s law of the heart – the more that
the cardiac muscle is stretched, the stronger the contraction
• Changing heart rate is the most common way to change cardiac output
