Excitation of Heart
Excitation of Heart
- The mebrane potential at rest of feibers in SA node is -55 до -60 mV (in ventricle
fibers is -85 до -90 mV), that is result of naturally permeability of these fibers for
Na+ и Са++ (this permeability makes this node self-excitating),neutralized some of
intracellular negativity.
- This potential at rest provokes closing of inactivated gates of fast Na+ voltage gated
channels inside the cell.
- When potential of -40 мV would be reached (due to natural permeability of
membrane for Na+ и Са++), actually, the threshold of stimulus is reached, opening
the slow L-channels of Са++ and an action potential occurs (slowly developing,
with longer duration and slowly return to membrane potential at rest)
With closing of К+ channles, hyperpolarization finishes and self-regenerative process of excitation occurs again, due to natural
permeability for Na+ and Са++.
1.2. INTERNODAL AND INTRAATRIAL PATHWAYS
After entering in interventricular septum, АV bundle divide on left and The velocity of spreading through ventricle fibers is slower (0.3-
right branch that pass under endocardium of septum toward apex of 0.5 м/sec), so more 0.03 sec are necessary for depolarization
heart, dividing on smaller branches that pass backward to base of of all muscle fibers – this is due to double spirals of ventricle
heart, ending directly on muscle fibers of 1/3 of thickness of myocardium fibers (separated with septum) and impulse spread angularly
– this process last 0.03 sec. (not directly from inside to outside)
1.5. SUMMARY OF SPREADING OF IMNPULSE THROUGH HEART
2. CONTROL OF EXCIATATION AND SPREADING OF IMPULSE THROUGH
HEART
Although all СРЦЕТО
parts of conductive system produce impulses, SA node is pacemaker of
cardiac rhythm due to production of impulses with the highest frequency (60-100
b/miin).
After suddenly block of AV bundle, 5-20 sec are necessary for taking over the
rhythm from Purkinje system, due to refractory period of ventricle fibers
from previous impulse from SA node, so, after 4-5 sec without blood in
brain, loss of consciousness happens – Adams-Stokes syndrome.
40-60
A) Sympathic stimulation – increase frequency from 70 to 180-200-250 , како b/min, and increases the ejection fraction and pressure for 2-
3 times, respectively, cardiac output for 2-3 times.
- During inhibition of sympathicus, the pump function of heart decreases for 30% - in normal conditions, there is continuous sending of
sympathic impulses that increase the heart pump function for 30% - sympathetic nerve fibers are distributed the most in ventricle muscles
(although there are few in both nodes)
Б) Parasympathetic stimulation (vagi) – during strong stimulation, the heart stops
(but, after time, ventricular escape occurs with ventricular contractions of 20-40
b/min) and could decrease the force for 20-30 %.
- Vagal fibers are situated mainly in atriums and that is why vagal stimulation
predominantly influence on heart rate
- Combination of strong decreasing of frequency and weak decreasing of
strength of contraction, decrease the ventricular pump function for 50%
