Heart facts Heart pumps over 2,500 gallons per day ¼ cup per beat 70-75 beats per minute Over 60,000 miles of blood vessels

Pericardial cavity
Visceral pericardium Myocardium Endocardium Fibrous pericardium Parietal pericardium Visceral pericardium Myocardium Endocardium Epicardium = visceral pericardium + adipose
Pericarditis = inflammation of the pericardium
Fibrous skeleton: collagen & elastic fibers between chambers & around valves structural support prevents valves from being overly distended anchors myocardium electrical “insulator” between atria and ventricles

Chambers of the Heart 4 chambers 2 upper atria (atria = entry hall) (auricle = little ear) 2 lower ventricles (ventricles = little bellies) Auricle
Right atrium SVC Coronary Sinus (opening) Pectinate muscle Fossa ovalis IVC Right AV orifice
Right ventricle Pulmonary valve Trabeculae carneae Tricuspid valve Papillary muscle with tendinous cords
Left ventricle Aortic valve Mitral (bicuspid) valve Papillary muscles with chordae tendineae Trabeculae carneae
Right atrium & ventricle Left atrium & ventricle
Coronary circulation
Coronary circulation RCA Coronary sinus LCA (Under auricle) RCA L & R coronary artery = directly off aorta just distal to aortic valves Coronary sinus = drains into right atrium
Mitral & tricuspid valve Aortic & pulmonary valve Coronary sinus R & L coronary arteries

By-pass Graft
Myocardial infarction (MI) dead tissue areas in myocardium caused by interruption of blood flow cardiac muscles cells don’t regenerate replaced by scar tissue Angina pectoris (chest pain) scarred or ischemic cardiac muscle can’t pump or conduct electrical impulses arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation)
Referred pain: Organ & skin pain fibers travel to the spinal cord together Organ pain misinterpreted as skin pain (referred pain)
Aortic valve (semilunar valve) Pulmonary valve (semilunar valve) Bicuspid or Mitral valve Tricuspid valve
Atrioventricular (AV) valves Semilunar valves aortic & pulmonary valves each has 3 cusps (no tendinous cords) close when pressure in ventricles falls Atrioventricular (AV) valves tricuspid and bicuspid (Mitral) tricuspid = 3 cusps, bicuspid = 2 connected to papillary muscle via tendinous cords close when pressure in ventricles increases
Papillary muscle Chordae tendineae (tendinous cords)
Cardiac Cycle = 1 heartbeat Diastole = relaxation Systole = contraction
Atrioventricular Valves Open Ventricular diastole Atrial systole (atrial pressure > ventricle pressure)
Atrioventricular Valves Close Ventricle systole Atrial diastole Ventricle pressure > atrial pressure A-V valves close preventing backflow of blood into atria Murmurs – any abnormal heart sound mitral valve prolapse, stenosis, insufficiency Rheumatic fever
Pulmonary valve Aortic valve

Cardiac Cycle = 1 heartbeat How does the heart beat? Cardiac Cycle = 1 heartbeat
Conduction System of Heart SA node – AV node – AV bundle of His (between ventricles) – Purkinje fibers How does your heart rate change? Nervous control (ANS) hormones drugs Heart block: electrical signals blocked Arrhythmia: irregular heart beat Fibrillations: uncoordinated contractions
EKG = electrocardiogram Recording electrical currents in heart P wave atrial contraction P to Q interval time for impulse to travel from SA node to AV node QRS complex ventricular contraction T wave ventricular relaxation
