Small amount of Ca entering during action potential binds to ryanodinereceptors on SR, triggering release of large amount of Ca from SR
The amount entering can vary from ap to ap and is reflected in theamplitude and duration of phase 2 of the ap
The major source (~70%) of Ca for binding to troponin C is the SR

Ca++ enters L-
Type channels
during Phase 2 of
AP, which binds
to RyR on SR,
and causes more
Ca++ to enter the
cytosol and bind
TROPONIN C!

3 functions of Ca influxduring action potential: (during phase 2 from
ECF)
1. Direct effect on troponin C2. Ca-induced Ca release from SR3. Loading of Ca into SR (some of the entering calcium can be taken
up by the SR rather than being pumped back out of the cell)

RelaxationA. NCX across plasma membrane (not in skeletal!)
Na-coupled countertransport (3Na+-1Ca++antiporter) (2nd active transport)
B. Active transport into SR SERCA (sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca-
ATPase)

RelaxationC. The amount pumped into the sr vs. the amounttransported out of the cell can vary from beat to beat thusinfluencing the amount that can be released from the srduring subsequent beats
D. Variations in the amounts of Ca entering the cell duringan action potential and in the amounts of Ca releasedfrom the sr will influence force of contraction (more aboutthis later); however overall balance over time is
maintained. (short-term contractility changes)

ContractilityDUE TO INCREASED INTRACELLULAR CA LEVELS!!
Theability of the heart to develop force which is INDEPENDENT of
the load (preload and afterload)
does NOT depend on stretch!!
Note that contractility also is referred to as inotropic effect.
(Afterload)
contractility = force & velocity (and Vmax)
contractility = force & velocity (and Vmax)
NOTE: Vmax CHANGES WITH

Changes in Frequency of Contraction (exampleHR)
With an increase in frequency of contraction there is less time for Na-Ca
exchange across the cell membrane
HR = BPM = duration of AP (phase 2 plateau) = frequency of contraction
= Ca++ intracellularly = time for NCX to remove
7/29/2019 Session_2.ppt
26/66
Normally (in vivo)an increase in HR is
due to SYMPATHETIC stimulation
meaning that CONTRACTILITY has also
increased! (HR contractility due to
sympathetic activity)

EJECTION FRACTION (EF):
EF = (SV) / (EDV)
Normally, the LV ejects between
55% - 65% of blood (EF)
A reduced EF usually indicates a
reduced stroke volumeusually
meaning that the heart is
FAILING. Once SV decreases
below ~30%, cardiac output
(CO) is also reduced, whichseverely impairs blood and
OXYGEN delivery to tissues, and
can result in ischemia and organ
death including MI!
SV = 100ml
EDV = 150ml ; ESV = 50ml ; SV = 100ml
EF = (100) / (150) 67%

AfterloadAFTER AORTIC VALVE OPENS Afterload is the load onthe LV during EJECTION.
PRIMARILY DUE TO AORTIC PRESSURE (Paorta)or the
outflow resistance and slightly due to Total peripheral
resistance (ease at which blood can flow from aorta to tissues),
strongly influenced by VASOCONSTRICTION/DILATION @
the ARTERIOLAR level!!! (more to come on this later)

IN PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MYOCARDIAL
DYSFUNCTION)DEPRESSED VENTRICULAR FUNCTION:
An example that causes abnormal ventricular function is AORTICSTENOSIS (and also Hypertension).
The resultant narrowed aortic valve causes a chronically elevated
afterload for the LV, which causes the LV to develop more pressure inorder to pump the same amount of blood (in order to maintain SV).
HOWEVER: this also causes LV Hypertrophy, which is initially
beneficially because the heart is able to maintain CO. As the disease
process continues, hypertrophy now becomes detrimental to
ventricular function because the myocytes fail to stretch to normal
levels, which reduces the amount of filling, reducing EDV, and
ultimately leading to a severely reduced SVand of course leading to
ischemiathe common familiar outcome for LV heart failure.
