Cardiac Output and venous return
Dr Badri Paudel GMC
Definitions Cardiac Output
– The quantity of blood pumped into the aorta each minute
– measured in milliliters (mL) per minute (min) or liters (L) per minute
– normally around 5,000 mL (5 L) per minute (5,000 mL/min or 5 L/min)
Venous Return – The quantity of blood flowing from the veins
into the right atrium each minute

End-Diastolic Volume
End-Systolic Volume
End-Diastolic Volume – End-Systolic Volume = Stroke Volume
11/13/13 badri@GMC 5
Cardiac Output (CO)
Volume of blood ejected from one ventricle
Beat = stroke volume (SV) = EDV – ESV = 70 ml
Minute = Cardiac output (CO) = SV x HR = 5 liters / min
Minute / square meter of body surface area = Cardiac index = 3.2 liter / min / m2

During exercise CO (Cardiac Output) may
increase up to 20-25 liters/minute and up to 40 liters/minute during heavy exercise in athletes
Cardiac reserve is the difference between the
cardiac output at rest and maximal cardiac output during heavy exercise.

Intrinsic regulation (Auto regulation) Extrinsic regulation
Homeometic autoregulation
Heterometric autoregulation
Regulation of Cardiac output
*It is the ability of the heart to change its stroke volume independent of nervous chemical or hormonal factors. * It include
* It depends on - Nervous supply of the heart. - Hormones or chemical * It adjust both stroke volume and heart rate.
11/13/13 badri@GMC 17
Intrinsic autoregulation 1-Heterometric autoregulation: Initial Length (Preload): The major determinant of the force of contraction is the
initial length of the muscle fiber.
The end diastolic volume (EDV) is used instead of
length of muscle fiber.
The EDV is determined by the preload.
The term preload refers to the degree of passive stress
exerted by the volume of blood in the ventricle just
before its contraction.

Characters of heterometric auto-regulation
" It is preload phenomena . " It is of a short duration . " There is an increase in the length of muscle fiber . " End diastolic volume ( E.D.V ) increases . " Stroke volume ( S.V ) increases . " End systolic volume slightly increases . " It is usually followed by Homeometric regulation . Examples of heterometric regulation : " a - In case of changing position from standing into
supine position e.g. lying in bed. " b - In the ( early stage ) beginning of muscular
exercise . 11/13/13 badri@GMC 19
Preload
Preload can be defined as the initial stretching of the cardiac myocytes prior to contraction. It is related to the sarcomere length at the end of diastole.

Because we cannot measure sarcomere length directly, we must use indirect indices of preload. – LVEDV (left ventricular end-diastolic volume) – LVEDP (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) – PCWP (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) – CVP (central venous pressure)

Frank-Starling Mechanism
When venous return to the heart is increased, ventricular filling increases, as does preload. This stretching of the myocytes causes an increase in force generation, which enables the heart to eject the additional venous return and thereby increase stroke volume.
Simply stated: The heart pumps the blood that is returned to it
11/13/13 badri@GMC 25
Frank-Starling Mechanism
Allows the heart to readily adapt to changes in venous return.
The Frank-Starling Mechanism plays an important role in balancing the output of the 2 ventricles.
In summary: Increasing venous return and ventricular preload leads to an increase in stroke volume.

The muscle developed tension is increased upon increasing the initial length ( preload ) up to certain limit .Further increase in muscle length beyond this limit depresses the muscle developed tension and this is not seen in the normal heart but only in heart failure
11/13/13 badri@GMC 29
Frank-Starling Mechanism
There is no single Frank-Starling Curve for the ventricle. Instead, there is a family of curves with each curve defined by the existing conditions of afterload and inotropy.

2-Homeometic autoregulation
$ It follows the heterometric regulation. $ It can occur for long time. $ It is an after load phenomenon. $ It is initiated by the increase in aortic
pressure. $ The increase in myocardial contraction
increase SV by the decrease in ESV. $ EDV returns to the normal value (not
changed).
11/13/13 badri@GMC 33
Afterload
Afterload can be viewed as the "load" that the heart must eject blood against.
In simple terms, the afterload is closely related to the aortic pressure.
11/13/13 badri@GMC 34
Afterload
More precisely defined in terms of ventricular wall stress:
– LaPlace s Law: Wall stress = Pr/h
P = ventricular pressure R = ventricular radius h = wall thickness

Heart Rate
Changes in heart rate are generally more important quantitatively in producing changes in cardiac output than are changes in stroke volume
Changes in heart rate alone inversely affect stroke volume

Heart Rate
At high HR – The decrease in SV is greater than the increase
in HR (decreased filling time) At low HR
– decrease in HR is greater than decrement in SV
11/13/13 badri@GMC 51
Bowditch (Treppe) Effect
An increase in heart rate will also cause positive inotropy (Bowditch effect, Treppe or staircase phenomenon). This is due to an increase in intracellular Ca++
with a higher heart rate: – More depolarizations per minute – Inability of Na+/K+-ATPase to keep up with influx of
Na+, thus, the Na+-Ca++ exchange pump doesn t function as well
11/13/13 badri@GMC 52
Heart rate regulation:
The SA node is the normal pace maker of the heart that set the heart
rate during rest at average rate=70 beats/minute The autonomic nervous system supply of the heart: The atria (SA node and AV node) are supplied by the
parasympathetic nervous system (The vagus nerve) and the sympathetic nervous system (Dual supply from both divisions of A.N.S)
The ventricles are mainly supplied by the sympathetic nervous
system. There is very little Parasympathetic supply of the ventricles

Area affected: Parasympathetic stimulation Sympathetic stimulation

7-Veins No effect Increase venous return (by vasoconstriction of veins) which increase cardiac contraction (Frank-Starling mechanism) 11/13/13 badri@GMC 54

11/13/13 badri@GMC 56
The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems act together on
heart rate in antagonistic (opposing) way, during rest the parasympathetic nervous system dominate more than the sympathetic nervous system
What happen if all autonomic nerves to the heart are cut? The heart rate will be 100/minute,which is he inherent rhythm of the
SA (which is the SA Node discharge when it is free from the normal inhibitory dominant parasympathetic effect at rest)
A Cardiovascular control center in the brain stem coordinates the
autonomic activity to the heart, if heart rate is to be increased this center control the increase in sympathetic activity and at same time decrease the parasympathetic activity and vice versa

Sympathetic stimulation can increase stroke volume and cardiac output by:
A-Increase force of contraction: -Under sympathetic stimulation with the EDV=135 ml___The Stroke volume
will be 100 ml and End Systolic Volume(ESV)=35 ml only -Sympathetic stimulation shift the Frank-Starling curve up and to the left and
according to the degree of sympathetic stimulation is the degree of the shift up to a maximal increase in strength of contraction 100% greater than resting strength
B-Increase venous return: Sympathetic stimulation also cause vasoconstriction of the veins which
squeezes more blood from the veins to the heart (=more filling) which in turn increase EDV and stroke volume

$ Catecholamine: Causes increase CO (Its actions
similar to sympathetic stimulation).
$ Thyroxin hormone: Causes increase CO by
increasing the number and sensitivity of B1 receptors
to catecholamine.
$ Insulin hormone: Causes increase of CO. It has +ve
inotropic action (increases SV and CO).

Extrinsic factors Affecting Myocardial Contraction
Force ( Inotropic Factors )
Contractility
Contractility The inherent capacity of the myocardium to contract independently of changes in afterload or preload. Changes in contractility are caused by intrinsic cellular mechanisms that regulate the interaction between actin and myosin independent of sarcomere length. Increased rate and/or quantity of Calcium delivered to myofilaments during contraction Alternate name is inotropy.

Extrinsic factors Affecting Myocardial Contraction Force ( Inotropic Factors )
1) Nervous Factors: Sympathetic stimulation increases strength of
contraction (positive inotropic factor ) through its Ca ++ raising effect .
b) Parasympathetic stimulation has a negative inotropic effect due to its intracellular Ca++ lowering action (opposite to sympathetic).
2) Neurohormones: a. Epinepherine & norepinepherine : are povitive
inotropic factors (similar to sympathetic) . b. Acetyl choline : is negative inotropic factor
(similar to parasympathetic).
11/13/13 badri@GMC 75
3) ECF ions: Effects of variations in Ca++ and K + ions: a. Ca++ infusion (intravenous) may stop the heart
during systole (Ca++ rigor). b. Effects of hyperkalaemia: Depresses cardiac contractility and may stop the heart during diastole so increased K + ions have a negative inotropic effect 4) Drugs : Digitalis used in the treatment of heart failure is the most important of all; it acts through inhibition of Na+ K+ ATP ase & thus Na+ ions accumulate inside the cells & stimulate Na+ Ca++ exchanger (between intracellular Na+ & extracellular Ca++) which increases the intracellular Ca++ concentration

# Inhibit: decrease HR and decrease vasoconstriction
" Parasympathetic (vagus) # Stimulate: decreases HR
and causes vasodilation
