cardiac index: CO/m2
SVxHR
Pacemaker
no constant resting membrane potential, pacemaker potential or diastolic depolarization
Conductive pathway
SA-node, AV-node, His bundle, Tawara brances, and Purkinje fibers
SA-node
nomotopic impulse generating center, Other: heterotopic or ectopic impulse generation
P-wave
depolarization of the atrium (<0.12sec)
PQ interval
conduction time (0.12-0.2 sec)
QRS complex
ventricular depolarization (0.06-0.1 sec)
ST segment
the ventricular muscle is depolarized
T-wave
ventricular repolarization.
EEG
examines the electrical activity of the heart as a function of time
Mechanical activity of the heart
• isotonic and isometric contraction
• isotonic and isometric relaxation
Starling's law of the heart
Strength of myocardial contractility depends on the initial length of muscle fibers (sarcomeres), the passive tension of the muscle.
