One moment…
The heart consists of two atria and two ventricles separated by a septum, and it works as a pump to pump blood in the body.
Oxygenated blood moves from the heart to the tissues through the aorta, and deoxygenated blood returns to the heart then to the lungs to get oxygen.
Peace be upon you second-year students, how are you? Dr. Ahmed Nasr here.
God willing, I will be with you in explaining the physiology material, but of course before I start,
just to love, what? That we know before I enter, just uh
to understand some basic information to build upon the talk that will be about
flooding and see what is the stabilizer of the heart.
Replace the opposite today and the stabilizer.
From the echo diagram, we will aim for you and the values from the right atrium to the left ventricle by buying the physiology.
If I give you the heart of the right atrium.
The right atrium heart consists of two atria and a ventricle and the septum, same thing.
The sky element brings to the sky you have a right atrium that helps in the heart's function.
It is connected to the artificial heart greatly.
It consists of two ventricles separated by what? A septum. Okay, what is the function
of the heart? The function of the heart. The heart works as a pump. Pump of what? The heart
now, suppose there is blood here in the tricuspid. What does this do?
Just for understanding, guys. Uh, what does this blood do in what? Oxygen as you
see here in what? Oxygen. It takes this blood and moves in
the aorta to move, move, move to go to the tissue. Your cells.
The cells then receive oxygen from your cells. Here the cells
take oxygen and give it what? Carbon dioxide CO2.
CO2 is carried as we know. It goes out in what?
It goes out in what? In. It moves in. And the superior vena cava blood that is in
the head and neck area gathers here in this area which
is the right atrium. The right atrium will drop the blood to the right
ventricle. And the right ventricle, this blood is what, guys? It is not loaded
with oxygen. It does not have what? It does not have oxygen. So where does it go? It goes
through the pulmonary artery. And it goes where? To the lungs. Because the lungs are
the ones that will put on it what? Oxygen. And after the lungs put oxygen,
they will return the oxygenated blood to whom through the pulmonary
they will return it to the left atrium.
And the left atrium drops it to the left ventricle.
Because the left ventricle, let's repeat the cycle again.
And it sends it to your tissues.
And the tissues take oxygen and give you carbon dioxide.
This is the whole story in short.
I don't want you to memorize, I want you to understand only.
Each chamber in the heart is separated by a valve that prevents backflow of blood and allows it to pass in one direction, such as the tricuspid valve between the right atrium and right ventricle and the mitral valve between the left atrium and left ventricle.
The heart contains an electrical conduction system starting from the sinoatrial node (SA node) called the pacemaker, and the electricity passes through the atrioventricular node (AV node) then the bundle and bundle branches and Purkinje fibers.
The heart beats spontaneously without the need for external nerves because of the presence of pacemaker cells that generate electricity by themselves.
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems regulate only the heart rate and do not initiate electricity.
And I want you to know that between each chamber in the heart there is a valve.
For example, between the right atrium and the right ventricle,
there is a tricuspid valve separating them.
Tricuspid valve, we call it tricuspid valve.
As you see, it has 3 cusps approximately.
Also, there is a valve separating
between the right
left atrium and left ventricle.
And here between the two there is a valve
called the mitral valve.
What is the function of these valves, doctor?
The valves' function
is that they prevent
and allow the blood to
move in one direction, in one direction.
They do not let the blood go back in the opposite
or different
direction.
So they allow the blood to move in what? In one direction.
Okay, this is the first information we learned that the heart is the pumping system, it is the pump
and the vascular system, meaning the blood vessels I have, the pulmonary artery and the aorta.
And of course the blood returns to the heart through 3 pulmonary veins, through 3 what? 3 pulmonary veins where?
4 pulmonary veins where? Sorry.
Okay, and then as you understood, it contracts.
Okay, now let's come to the conduction system.
The heart's electricity, the heart of course has electricity.
This electricity is what makes the heart contract.
It makes the heart what? Contract.
Okay, what produces this electricity?
Or what stimulates the electricity?
As you have
to light a lamp,
you need what? To connect electricity.
The heart to contract,
needs to be connected to electricity.
So the electricity that will come out of the heart is
we want to know its source.
And how it moves.
First, its source.
Something called the SA node.
And this SA node, guys, they call it
the pacemaker. The pace what? The pacemaker. Which is what? Our boss
that produces the electricity. This is the SA node. It produces
electricity and goes to another area called. Another station called. So
the electricity went from it. And moves through something called. And then
branches to the right bundle branch and left bundle branch. So it came out of what?
Meaning it moved in something called the bundle and branched to a right branch called right
bundle branch and left bundle branch. And what? And each branch is what? Wrapped around
its wall, meaning it wraps around to make a reflection on it and comes out of it
what is called Purkinje fibers. Meaning there are fibers that come out to electrify
the heart to electrify all the heart muscles. Its name is what? Let's call it this. This is
the money I want you to know from the beginning. It moved and is located where?
Located in the right atrium. And the AV node is located where? Also in the right atrium.
Then it moved through the bundle and branched and moved in
small fibers called. So you find me telling you here that the heart has
meaning what? The heart does not need nerves to start beating. The heart, God
meaning if you take my heart, yes, my heart like this and take it out of the body, it will beat by itself.
It does not need any nerves because there is what? The name that produces it, it is the one that
beats automatically. This is called. Okay, guys, okay, this is the story that
I want to tell you. But you say, doctor, so it does not need nerves?
But the nerves you drew above,
you drew here the sympathetic and here the parasympathetic.
Which is the vagus nerve.
I drew them to tell you
that they regulate
them, the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
They regulate what?
They regulate
your heart rate. If your heartbeats are fast, they slow them down.
If your heartbeats are slow, they increase them.
So they are regulators,
just organizers for the movement.
Okay, but your SA node
produces like
it is called the initiator.
Initiator, its abbreviation is what?
Sinoatrial node.
Sino what? Sinoatrial node.
The initiator means it starts the electricity.
Okay, so how
does the whole heart contract?
Meaning all of it.
As one unit, all as muscle.
One unit because the heart
between muscle and muscle,
meaning this is cardiac muscle and this is cardiac muscle.
And this is cardiac muscle.
You studied that there is something called
gap junction.
Between the heart muscles, there is something called gap junction.
Meaning once this muscle is electrified,
this muscle receives the electricity,
and this receives the electricity
through the gap junction
between the muscles.
So the gap junction makes the heart
contract as one unit.
As one single unit.
Okay, I told you
that to light a lamp,
you need electricity.
So you turn on the electricity
first, then
the lamp gives you the light. Same thing. You produce electricity first,
then the AP gives you contraction. And so on, based on
this, we divided the action into two types. Or the action what? Two types.
Types in the muscles, which is in the muscle related to the muscle
and present in the fiber which is in
the SA node. So based on that you have two electrical things in
the first, then muscle contraction. So you have two types of
action potentials. Present in the SA node and AV node.
These are the primary and these are the secondary. Okay? And this is the shape of
the SA node and AV node. Either action potential
which is related to muscle contraction,
and this we call what?
This is its shape.
This is it.
Each one of these we will study in detail.
This is called fast response.
This is called slow response.
So this is fast response.
And this is slow response.
Don't rush, each type of these comes in detail.
Let's start, in the name of God,
and understand what we want to say.
First, a note
says that the Cardiovascular system is a closed system.
Closed system as I explained to you, it is a closed system of tubes.
Tube meaning the vessels, which is a water base.
As you saw, the heart sent out the aorta going to the tissue.
And the tissue gives you the blood that goes from the inferior vena cava.
From the Inferior vena cava to the Right atrium
From the Right atrium to the Right ventricle
Then to the Lung
And the Lung returns again, making it feel like a closed system
closed system
Okay?
Inside which blood circulates, the blood circulates
continuously
by the pumping action
of the heart
And what is the heart?
The blood moves in one direction
If I ask you why, you say because
of the valves, doctor
The valves are what prevent the blood
from going in two directions; it goes in one direction
Okay
So what does the heart consist of?
As we have seen, the heart consists of
the cardiovascular system
It consists of
the heart, which is the pumping that moves the blood
and blood vessels, which are containers through which circulation occurs
And this is where circulation happens, as you saw
Where the oxygenated blood goes and where the deoxygenated blood goes
And this is the story of the cardiovascular system overall
The cardiac muscle is a striated involuntary muscle, characterized by the syncytium property that allows the heart to contract as one unit due to the presence of gap junctions between cells.
The heart consists of two types of muscle cells: contractile cells that contract and represent 98% and non-contractile cells that generate electricity and represent 2%, which are the pacemaker cells.
Now let's look at the properties of cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle has properties
What are the properties of cardiac muscle?
Of course, cardiac muscle is striated muscle
First, it is somewhat like skeletal muscle which you have studied
Skeletal muscle is striated
And cardiac muscle is striated
They differ from each other
They differ in that skeletal muscle
is voluntary
They differ in that
cardiac muscle is involuntary
What does involuntary mean?
It means it contracts without your will
You control skeletal muscle
You can contract your biceps and triceps
But you cannot contract the heart muscle voluntarily
Also, it has a property called syncytium
Syncytium or syncytium
What is this syncytium property, doctor?
This syncytium property means the heart can contract
as one unit
I tell you the heart contracts as one unit
And I told you it is because of the gap junction
He is telling you these two words
He tells you that syncytium means that cardiac muscle
the heart muscle cells
contract or are able to excite
contract
and contract as one unit
As a single unit
Why, doctor? Because of the gap junction
The gap junction is the connection
When muscles connect, each muscle is connected to the one next to it
Meaning there is communication between one muscle and the adjacent muscle
He says the two atria we drew were like this and that, there was this and that, he says what now? He says
You have the two atria above, they have what?
All of these are connected between them, meaning what do you benefit from these two words?
I benefit that the two atria above contract together, the ones above
So I named them because the two above contract together. But the two ventricles
contract too, so I named them and you understood from this. And this matter is completely separate
Meaning the two are separate from each other. Separate
Yes, doctor. Separate by the valves I told you about. Meaning
Here, as I told you, you are separated by a valve called the
Right ventricle and right atrium are separated by a valve called the tricuspid valve, right?
Around every valve there is fibrous tissue
fibers
A ring called the fibrous ring
A V-Ring
Atria Ventricular Ring
So the two are separated by a valve, a normal valve, but you add that the valve is surrounded by fibrous tissue
Surrounded by fibrous tissue
What is this then?
This was a note directly transmitted
And therefore the contraction
or the impulse
cannot move
from one syncytium
to the other, meaning it cannot
You don't find the two atria contracting
and at the same time the two ventricles contracting
No, the two atria contract together
And after a while, God willing, the two ventricles
contract as well
Okay, why is that?
Because of the AV ring
The fibrous AV ring that is present in the valves
In the valves. Okay, the myocardium
of the heart. The myocardium of the heart consists of what? Two types
Of cardiac muscle. Didn't I just tell you that you have two types of
cardiac muscle? Yes, but indirectly. I told you you need what?
To light a bulb you need electricity. I named that electricity what? I named
it the heart's electricity, right? The one that produces electricity is the one, but the main one is what?
The main one you say if the heart is working, this is a type of cells
And the other type I told you when this produces electricity, the heart is in
You have cells called cardiac muscle cells that contract with this electricity
One type is contractile
Called contractile muscle cells
They represent 98%
of the cardiac muscle
And the action potential
Was called
Did it happen or not? And what did it look like? It looked like this. Not exactly like this, but
Let's say when we connect it, it looks like this, this, this, right?
Right or not? So you have two types. This is the contractile type.
And this one has, and its function is pumping that
It is contractile to push forward the rest of the body's organs. And the other type
And the second type, surely you guessed, the second type which does not do pumping, doctor
Is the pacemaker and its name is what?
So it represents about 2%, which are represented in what? If you are asked, you say in the
Right, so these are the cells that represent what?
Their function is electrical conduction and their function is what?
And their name is what? I hope what? We gathered all this in
the two pages we mentioned above. Now let's go to the beginning of the lecture.
God willing, we will cover everything in detail
Cardiac muscle, the heart muscle, has 4 properties
4 properties
So it has 4 properties
What are the 4 properties, guys?
The 4 properties are that you have
The cardiac muscle has four main properties: rhythmicity, excitability, contractility, and conductivity.
The property of rhythmicity means that the heart contracts spontaneously and regularly (spontaneous and rhythmic contraction) without external stimulus, and this property results from pacemaker cells.
Pacemaker cells are non-contractile cells but capable of generating electricity by themselves (self-exciting) and are called myogenic origin because the contraction originates from the muscle itself.
Meaning the heart muscle has 4 what?
What are the 4 properties?
A property called rhythmicity
A property called excitability
A property called contractility
And a property called conductivity
Let's take each one separately, come on
Let's take the first property, which is rhythmicity
This rhythmicity property is what, guys?
Rhythmicity means the heart
contracts spontaneously
I just want you to know that the heart
contracts, it contracts
spontaneously, automatically
Plus it contracts
rhythmically
Rhythmically means what? It means regularly
So the property of rhythmicity means the heart contracts spontaneously
Spontaneously means what? Without a stimulus
When I told you, I drew the heart above and told you it needs nerves to be electrically activated to start contracting
I told you no, I told you even if I drew it with two nerves, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves
I told you these are regulatory only, but don't think they are responsible for the heart contracting
No, if I take the heart out, it will contract
This is called spontaneous
And this is represented in the property
called rhythmicity
The second thing, rhythmically
Rhythmically means what?
Rhythmically means contracting regularly
Meaning every beat of your heart
Or every electrical impulse from the heart
Comes out with a fixed time between each one
So we must differentiate rhythmicity
The property rhythmicity is the ability of the heart
The heart's ability
to initiate
to start its own contraction
Its own contraction
Independent of external stimuli
Without depending on an external stimulus
So it means
Rhythmicity means
This is the property of automaticity
Which is
Didn't I tell you rhythmicity means two things?
Spontaneous
Which equals automaticity
That the heart contracts spontaneously without an external influence
The second thing, the word rhythmicity
Means the heart contracts
regularly
Every beat after the other
With a fixed time between them
Okay, now it says that
Spontaneous rhythmicity and
automaticity of the cardiac muscle
Is due to what?
Due to the pacemaker
Right or not?
The property that it contracts spontaneously
And regularly is due to the pacemaker
Is due to what result?
What result? The result of the pacemaker.
The property that it contracts spontaneously.
And regularly as a result of the pacemaker.
What we explained at the beginning
The SA node and the AV node
And how electricity comes out
And from which external influence it comes out
So this is what the result tells you
due to excitatory conductive system
Everything I drew for you when I said this is the SA node
And electricity goes to the AV node
And then to the bundle of His
And from the bundle of His it branches to the right bundle branch
And the left bundle branch
And then comes something called Purkinje fibers
All of this is called the conductive system
So what are we?
All of this is the conductive system
So it tells you here
Here it is
Excitatory
As a result of the conductive system
Which is composed
Of cells
Self-exciting
Meaning it can generate electricity by itself
Electricity
Non-contractile, it does not contract
Because they divided it
They divided it into contractile and non-contractile types
This is the non-contractile type
So it is indeed self-exciting
It can start
The excitation or contraction of the heart by itself
And non-contractile, it does not contract
Because it
Is not meant to contract
It is meant to generate electricity
And these cells we call
The pacemaker cells
Rhythmic
Is myogenic
In origin
Meaning the contraction of the heart
That the contraction
Is
Meaning regular
It tells you what?
Myogenic in origin
Meaning it comes from where?
From the conduction system itself
The muscles themselves
The autonomic nervous system, such as sympathetic and parasympathetic, regulates only the heart rate and does not initiate electricity or contraction.
Heart rate in the heart is controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, but they do not start the electricity in the heart; they only increase or decrease the heart rate.
The sinoatrial (SA) node is the main pacemaker because it has the highest rhythmicity rate and initiates the electricity that spreads in the heart.
The pacemaker is a part of the heart characterized by high rhythmicity; it starts the electricity in the heart and determines its rhythm, and the rest of the heart parts follow its rhythm.
The SA node is the primary pacemaker because it has the highest rhythmicity and generates electricity at a rate of about 100-110 beats per minute, compared to other parts like the AV node and Purkinje fibers which generate electricity more slowly.
Independent
Here, independent
Meaning not dependent
On autonomic nerve supply
But the autonomic nerve supply
Which is sympathetic
And parasympathetic
What do they do?
Control the heart rate
Only
As I told you, they can increase heartbeats
Or increase the heart rate
Or decrease, but they
Don't initiate
They never start the electricity
As I told you, who is the initiator that starts the electricity?
You say the pacemaker
Is it the sympathetic or the parasympathetic?
Or what is called the autonomic nervous system
Can it start
The heart electricity or excitation?
Meaning no, but what it does is
Regulatory, meaning it increases
The heart rate or decreases the heart rate
Okay, let's talk a bit about the pacemaker
Come on
Pacemaker means that this
Is a part of the heart
A part of the heart
Has high automaticity
It has high automaticity
And the whole other part of the heart
Follow its rhythm
Why?
Why is it the pacemaker?
It is what we call it
Even though we had what, guys?
We had here
As we drew here
We had the SA node
The SA node
And I had the AV node
And then electricity
Goes like this and then goes
To something called bundle of His
In the right bundle branch
And left bundle branch and Purkinje fibers
As long as I have the SA node
And AV node, why the pacemaker?
I have the big boss
The SA node, honestly first
Because it produces the largest
Meaning it has
The highest automaticity
It has the highest automaticity
Meaning what? It is
The one that produces the most, what does that mean? The electricity that comes out
The pacemaker is the fastest in the heart and thus determines the heart rhythm; the rest of the heart parts respond to it and no part can start electricity independently from the pacemaker.
From the heart is about 100 or 105 or 110. Or
105 is not a problem. How much electricity does the AV node produce? It produces about 45 to 60. 45 to 60. And the Purkinje fibers
Produce how much? About 25, those are 25 to 40, so
Who is the fastest among us? The fastest is the SA node because the heart muscles
Listen to the fastest, so the fastest or the one that has it is the SA node
Therefore, the definition of the pacemaker is the fastest, it is the part of the heart that has
And all the other parts of the heart listen to its rhythm, meaning no part can go here for example and produce
Electricity and the AV node listens to it? No, the AV node or the heart muscles
Listen to the fastest, so we will come to a disease, God willing
You can imagine the heart contracting 400 or 500 times, definitely some hearts
Have one faster producing 400 or 500. So you leave it aside. But by the mercy of God, the 400 or 500 go down to the atria at a lower number, we will understand why later. So it is
The highest automaticity. It means that a part of the heart
Has it and all the heart and all parts of the heart listen to it. So let's
Take the pacemaker, how many are there? There was, right? Which is 90 to 110
Which is, as I told you, about 110, it's 90 to 110.
And we call it the primary pacemaker. This rhythm is called what?
The rhythm that comes out, we call it sinus rhythm. Okay?
There are secondary pacemakers such as the AV node which generates electricity at a rate of 45-60 beats per minute and works if there is a complete block in the pacemaker.
Sinus rhythm. The secondary is represented by who, guys? Represented by the secondary pacemaker represented by the electricity from the bundle fibers from 45 to 60 per minute. This works
If some damage happens or it stops, it will work instead. This rhythm here we call it what? Above you
I call it here the nodal rhythm. It comes from here, here, here, here, here, here, so we call it. This is it. It produces about 25 to 40, 25 to 40. And it works when, if it also has
Complete block. This rhythm we call idioventricular rhythm. Okay?
Okay. Let's take the channels in the heart. I have in the heart several channels.
Channels. Several channels. The channels I have, in my opinion, are
Let's take what happens first. And we say the channels that exist. Okay, come on, let's say what's on it so we can go back and see it.
And it becomes easy as we took the two pictures at the beginning like this
And the topic became a bit easier. Now we said we have two, right?
One happens in the right atrium. Yes, one sorry
Happens in the contractile cells, one happens in, right or not? Okay. Now
We will take what happens in, when we talk about, okay let's draw a sketch for our AP that we used to call the pacemaker or what we call the slow response. Okay guys? Okay. This
We will draw a line like this. Then a line like this. Then a rising line like this.
Then what? Then a falling line like this. Okay? This is what happens. What
Happens? What makes it produce electricity first? We will just put here
What? The name here is phase four here.
Nasty.
Come here now, this is phase four and this phase we call phase zero and this like this
Phase three. Let's see what happens. First we are in phase
Four because this is what we will talk about what happens in
The pacemaker cells.
The resulting eighth from the eighth year, so it's constant.
People do not think about the word ecomoters.
The pacemaker has an action potential called slow response which consists of several phases starting with phase 4 that represents the preparation for electricity where sodium ions enter through the funny channel raising the voltage from -60 mV to -50 mV.
After phase 4, the transient calcium channel opens allowing calcium to enter and raising the voltage quickly to -40 mV, leading to rapid generation of electricity.
Phase zero is characterized by calcium entry through the long-lasting calcium channel which opens for a longer period causing relatively slow depolarization, hence it is called slow response.
Phase 3 is the repolarization phase where potassium exits the cell through a special channel (delayed rectifier potassium channel) restoring the voltage to the resting state.
We have a course, topinian enemies.
I will present the visa equal.
Meaning not the previous day you stayed.
Although the message we will push in it means what it relates
To itself if you send the node.
Where or from the exit of the special Emirates with him.
This is called what? Preparatory. Meaning what? Meaning before electricity happens.
So this is to prepare for the electricity to come out.
What happens? Ions enter. Okay, the ions that
Will enter are? The first ion that enters is sodium ion. Sodium ion
Enters through what? Through a channel called funny channel, let's call it an abbreviation.
Sodium enters through the funny channel which raises the voltage.
When sodium enters, it raises the voltage from minus 60 mV up to
Minus 50. Then another channel opens, what channel?
A channel related to calcium. Calcium enters.
Calcium enters through a channel called T-type, meaning it opens for a limited time then closes. This raises the voltage to what?
By itself if you send T note.
Where or from the exit of its special Emirates.
What is this called? Preparatory. What does it mean? It means before before.
The electricity that will happen. So this is to prepare for the electricity to come out.
What happens? Ions enter. Okay, the ions that.
Will enter, what are they? The first ion to enter is the sodium ion. The sodium ion.
Enters through what? Through something called the funny channel, I know it like this, some abbreviation.
Entered now, entered now, the sodium entered and what is called.
And match, so sodium entered through the funny channel, raising the voltage.
When sodium enters, it raises the voltage from minus sixty millivolts up to.
It reaches minus fifty. Then another channel opens, what channel?
A channel related to calcium. Calcium enters. Calcium enters through a channel called what, we will write it here below named T, meaning delayed.
It will close, meaning it will open for a delayed time and close. This raises the voltage to what?
Exactly? And of course, there are things we said about the pacemaker normally because there are things we will still talk about. And this pumps three out, which we all know.
To minus forty. To minus what? Minus forty. Did you notice something?
The voltage difference after that will start to do what? It rises to electricity. Did you notice
that the voltage difference between minus sixty to minus forty is not much. Only minus twenty.
As we will explain, the difference is big. This indicates that
God made the difference small here so it happens quickly. So you are close to
meaning close to, right? So as soon as you reach from minus sixty to minus forty, electricity rises.
It doesn't take time. So what? The difference between minus sixty
and minus forty is not much. Okay. This was done by the entry of two things.
Through and calcium through. Okay, this period is spontaneous. Not
I said, does it come from an external stimulus that makes it? No, spontaneous. So this period
is spontaneous. When does it happen? It happens in in what? In systole.
Systole, which is what? The contraction of the heart. Now we are not preparing
for the heart to contract. Meaning we are in the phase before which is
which is. Okay, now let's come to phase zero. In phase zero, what happens?
Phase zero starts calcium entry. Ah sorry yes,
calcium. But this time calcium enters through another channel. What is
the name of the channel? It is no longer calcium. Which is what?
What do we call it? What? Okay, thank God it happened. So this phase
was called what? Or we call it or transition from the resting state. But what?
Between it and a small difference. Then electricity rises. Which is
called what? Which is and then what happens? Repolarization.
Repolarization here should release ions. Repolarization
releases what? It releases potassium. It releases potassium. It releases
potassium through a channel called the delayed rectifier potassium channel (I_K). Okay? We will learn all this
and all these. So this is the story and here you have
then start another phase. Which is what? You start again
and rise like this and finish the same idea. Okay? So this is what?
No, it means it should be what?
We draw it like this, yes.
And then it rises like this and like this.
And so we repeat the same idea again.
Okay guys, so this is what?
This is the pacemaker.
The action potential, to light the lamp,
you needed what? You needed electricity.
And for the heart to contract, you need what?
Electricity. So you must start by electrifying the pacemaker.
Which is the action potential of the pacemaker.
The slow response so that then what happens? The second electricity happens. The second action potential. Which is what? What happens in I want to explain something here but the next talk will avoid it. Notice that I
talked about this part a bit and told you it is four from what? Minus
sixty close to minus forty. Now if I draw it again like this, sorry.
And I said what? I don't know how to draw, I told you. Here. This is called the
slope. You see it rises like what? Like a slope. So this is called
slope. I told you it was approximately at minus forty to minus sixty here.
And as soon as it reaches minus forty, it happens, meaning you are close to. So the more it was
the faster you reach the firing, right or not? So
the more it was, the faster you reach firing. Right or not?
So this means the more it was, the faster you reach firing. Right or not?
So what do you think if
it was like this? Long. We call it. So the more it was, the more it was
less. So here you find the heartbeats are what? Less. Because what happened?
The electricity that came out was slower. So the more it was, the more it was what?
The higher. The more it was, the more it was less. Right or not? Because here you
took a longer time and so it comes out a bit late. Right or not?
The speed of electricity generation in the pacemaker depends on the slope of phase 4; the faster the sodium and calcium entry, the steeper the slope and thus the faster the heart rate.
The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate by increasing sodium and calcium entry through beta-1 receptors in the heart, which increases the slope of phase 4 and makes depolarization faster.
Increased temperature raises heart rate because heat increases the slope of phase 4.
Potassium deficiency in the extracellular fluid increases heart rate because it allows greater sodium entry into the cells.
The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate by releasing acetylcholine which inhibits the funny channel (If) reducing sodium entry and decreasing the slope of phase 4, thus reducing the speed of electricity generation.
Increased potassium in the extracellular fluid decreases heart rate because it opposes the effect of sodium and slows electricity generation; high doses of potassium may stop the heart.
Okay. Now if I tell you, if I tell you what things increase heart contraction and what things decrease it? First I will tell you
the sympathetic. The sympathetic, doctor, is what increases heart rate.
The sympathetic works on beta-1 in the heart.
And what does it do? It increases sodium entry. So it increases sodium entry through what?
Right, hello. So when sodium enters quickly and also increases calcium by the way.
So what happens in the slope, guys?
Does it increase or does it become slow slope?
No, you will increase the slope.
Meaning fast.
Or more slope.
Meaning it becomes like this.
You will reach depolarization
faster.
So here it becomes more slope.
What else increases heart rate?
Temperature.
Isn't it if you come to someone who is hot,
has a fever, you find his heart rate
So temperature
increases heart rate.
What else?
Low potassium
in the extracellular space.
outside the cells
Because it gives
when potassium is low
outside the cells,
it gives a better chance for sodium
to undergo inward influx
into the cells.
If I ask you
what decreases heart rate,
you will tell me the opposite.
Parasympathetic.
I say yes, parasympathetic.
This is one.
What does parasympathetic do? It releases
acetylcholine, right?
Sympathetic releases catecholamines,
which is norepinephrine.
While parasympathetic releases catecholamine that does what?
It inhibits the f
which is the If
which is the funny channel.
Therefore sodium will not enter,
and thus will not reach the firing level.
Therefore, decrease in the slope
your slope that I drew will decrease and will be like this.
It will no longer be what? Where is the slope?
Upwards? No, our slope
became almost flat.
So decrease in the slope.
Correct. What else?
I told you above, you said what?
Increase in potassium extracellular.
Because when potassium
increases outside, it causes
an opposing action, meaning it opposes
the action of sodium.
By the way, some people
in America,
there is something called
the lethal injection with potassium.
They give a potassium injection
in a large amount. So when potassium increases,
what does it do to the heart? It decreases heart rate.
But this time not just decreases, I tell you
they give large doses and stop the heart
completely. So they kill the person
with a potassium injection.
Okay.
Of course, there are things like
drugs that block calcium
channels.
We won't say sodium enters and calcium enters.
At first, there are also things like that.
There are many factors we will see in the playoffs but
these are the most important.
Okay, let's go
to see what the talk is.
Let's see
the ionic channels in the heart.
The first ion I told you is the T-type.
Transient calcium.
Transient calcium, we said it is what? Present
There are different ion channels in the heart such as the transient calcium channel found only in the pacemaker, the long-lasting calcium channel found in the pacemaker and contractile cells, and the fast sodium channels found in cardiac muscle cells.
The pacemaker works automatically and regularly due to the properties of ion channels that allow slow and regular generation of action potentials, which determines the basic heart rhythm.
The electrical concentration of potassium controls the opening and closing of ion channels in cardiac cells, where potassium starts to exit gradually as the voltage approaches -60 mV.
The electrical pulse in the heart may reach 110 beats per minute, but the actual heart rate is lower due to the effect of the parasympathetic nervous system which reduces the pulse rate.
The vagus nerve (parasympathetic system) supplies the cardiac muscle and reduces heart rate by inhibiting the SA node from 110 to about 75 beats per minute.
The vagus nerve supplies the entire heart muscle except the ventricles, which protects the ventricles from excessive stimulation effects that may cause cardiac arrest.
Excessive stimulation of the vagus nerve may lead to a severe decrease in heart rate, but the ventricles are protected from this effect thanks to the vagal escape phenomenon.
Factors affecting heart rate include the effects of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, where acetylcholine decreases heart rate while norepinephrine increases it.
Acetylcholine decreases heart rate by stimulating certain receptors that increase potassium outside the cell, which reduces the pulse speed.
Norepinephrine increases heart rate by stimulating beta-1 receptors that increase sodium and calcium entry into cardiac cells.
Thyroxine hormone increases heart rate by increasing metabolism and the sensitivity of adrenergic receptors.
Ion effects on the heart include sodium which initiates depolarization, and potassium which affects pulse speed where its deficiency causes tachycardia and its excess causes bradycardia.
Increased extracellular potassium (hyperkalemia) causes bradycardia and may lead to cardiac arrest at high doses.
Calcium helps in cardiac muscle contraction; excessive calcium causes continuous contraction of the heart leading to cardiac arrest.
Calcium channel blocker drugs like verapamil work by closing calcium channels which reduces heart rate and are used to treat hypertension.
Oxygen deficiency and increased acidity reduce cardiac cell energy and negatively affect their functions.
Increased body temperature raises heart rate by about 10 beats per minute for each degree Celsius increase due to acceleration of enzymatic reactions.
Decreased body temperature reduces heart rate due to slowing enzymatic reactions and severe hypothermia may lead to cardiac arrest.
The heart has excitability which enables it to respond to appropriate stimuli either by mechanical contraction or by an electrical signal (action potential).
The action potential in the heart has two types: slow in pacemaker cells and fast in contractile muscle fibers.
Phase 0 of the action potential is the rapid depolarization phase due to sodium entry through fast voltage-gated channels.
Phase 1 involves potassium exit from the cell through special channels which slightly reduces the electrical voltage after rapid depolarization.
Phase 2 or the plateau phase is a balance between calcium entry and potassium exit, which is important for cardiac muscle contraction.
In muscle contraction, calcium enters the cell and potassium exits; this exchange is important for contraction to occur.
Calcium entering the cell goes to calcium stores inside the muscles and is released from them to stimulate muscle contraction.
The muscle passes through a refractory period during which it does not respond to any stimulus to prevent two contractions at the same time.
Phase 3 is the phase where a large amount of potassium exits, restoring the electrical voltage to the original negative state (-90 mV).
At a certain phase, calcium channels close and potassium exits in large amounts to restore the cell's electrical voltage to -90 mV.
The potassium-sodium pump works to redistribute ions to their normal places inside and outside the cell after contraction.
The heart has the ability to respond to sufficient stimuli, and this response is either through the cardiac conduction system which generates electrical signals by itself or through electrical conduction via specialized fibers.
The electrical potential in the cell starts from -90 mV and reaches +20 mV due to the entry of sodium and calcium, with a plateau phase due to the balance of calcium entry and potassium exit.
The plateau is a slow phase in the membrane potential lasting about 200 milliseconds due to ion balance.
After the plateau phase, the calcium channel closes and the potassium channel fully opens to allow potassium to exit rapidly, starting the restoration of the cell's negative potential.
The absolute refractory period is a phase during which the muscle does not respond to any stimulus to prevent repeated and spasmodic contractions in the heart.
The absolute refractory period includes phases zero, one, two, and the first part of three, extending until the potential reaches -50 mV.
The relative refractory period starts after the absolute phase, where the cell begins to return to normal potential and requires a strong stimulus to respond.
In the relative refractory period, a new electrical impulse can occur if there is a strong stimulus; this phase is called the supernormal phase and is a critical phase.
Abnormal electrical impulses arising outside the normal pacemaker are called ectopic focus, which may cause arrhythmias such as extrasystole.
The abnormal impulse appearing in extrasystole replaces the normal impulse that occurs during the absolute refractory period, leading to cancellation of the normal impulse.
After extrasystole occurs, the patient feels a strong heartbeat due to the increased amount of blood accumulated during the short cardiac pause.
Extrasystole is an early abnormal electrical impulse that appears before the normal impulse and occurs during diastole when the heart is filling.
Extrasystole is an abnormal ectopic impulse arising outside the normal pacemaker, called premature because it appears early.
Extrasystole occurs due to increased excitability above normal and usually happens after the end of the relative refractory period.
Extrasystole appears in the supernormal phase, which follows the relative refractory period; this period is called the vulnerable period.
Ectopic foci can appear in different locations such as the atrium, atrioventricular node, or ventricle, causing abnormal impulses.
Extrasystole can arise from three locations: atrium (Atrial Extrasystole), atrioventricular node (AV node Extrasystole), or ventricle (Ventricular Extrasystole).
Causes leading to ectopic foci include nervous tension, heavy smoking, psychological stress, as well as heart diseases like arteriosclerosis and infarctions.
Natural causes of extrasystole include nervousness, heavy smoking, emotional stress, and heart problems such as arteriosclerosis or infarction.
Ventricular extrasystole leads to a phase called post extrasystolic potentiation where the next beat is stronger due to increased ventricular filling with blood.
The compensation phase is the waiting period for the third beat which comes late, allowing greater ventricular filling and thus a stronger beat.
The compensatory pause resembles a short cardiac arrest leading to delayed arrival of the next normal beat due to the absolute refractory period.
The normal beat that was supposed to come second appears during the absolute refractory period and thus does not appear, causing the patient to feel that a beat has occurred.
The third beat is strong due to increased calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and increased ventricular filling with blood.
The delay in contraction onset occurs about 0.2 seconds after the start of phase zero in the action potential and takes longer than one and a half times the duration of the action potential due to calcium entry.
Diastole starts in phase 3 and ends in phase 4, where the cell fully relaxes at the end of diastole.
The absolute refractory period includes phase zero, phase one, phase two, and the early part of phase three in the action potential, during which a new impulse cannot be excited.
only in the pacemaker
cell during pacemaker and this is the one that allows calcium entry, okay?
They are rapidly inactivated producing transient calcium influx.
Calcium influx enters. But then it is transient, why? Because
it undergoes inactivation immediately. There is another type called L-type, okay, its name is
long-lasting L-type and this is present in both.
It is present in contractile as we will explain,
which is the contractile type.
And present in the pacemaker which I just explained, right or not? And these close
late, so it is called that. The third type, the third type is called
the calcium channel type 3 and it can work
depending on membrane voltage, whether the ions inside are more or outside are more.
We said it depends on voltage and ion concentration.
Okay? And of course there are things we said about the pacemaker normally because there are
things we will talk about later. And it pumps three out, which we all
know like a medical student. It brings in two and pumps out three. It
also pumps out three and brings in two. So I hope you
Like a medical student. It inputs two pieces of information and outputs three. It also outputs three, three and inputs what? Two. So I don't wish that you.
Thyroxine hormone.
Thyroid gland hormone.
The metabolism process, energy production also happens what to it?
This pump keeps working the same way, it takes in two pieces of information and outputs three.
What we just said is present in this, it does the funny thing, what the funny thing
We said it takes in what? It takes in sodium. Okay? It tells you and it takes in
Also what? It tells you. Okay, in the fasting sodium. What did we say
That there is something like this, where is it present? We will say it soon. Huh? The fasting sodium
Where will we say it? In the plasma, Sally. This does not split sodium. Don't rush like that.
I will draw you a diagram like it. And the potassium channel, and these are many types. But
All of them do what? All of them let potassium out, and this is what does the
We explained it in what? Which is here. Here. The exit of what? Potassium.
He told you the mechanism that I explained about the pacemaker cell.
What does the pacemaker do? It means it spontaneously fires by itself, and it was
Also regularly, it's the same, the same, the same, the one that fires, it is responsible for, I mean,
What means that it fires spontaneously by itself, which is firing regularly.
As I drew it like this, it is from what I explained and they call it
Because what? Because it is what? That was our start. Then it was
What? Then.
Okay? Here. Here, here. This is our diagram. I had phase four.
I told you it represents what? And it is about minus sixty millivolts, all that, yes. Yes.
It depends on what? For the funny channel to let in what? Sodium and what? Potassium.
This adds with us this thing.
But who is the main for sodium?
The important thing, as he said normally, potassium channel.
Sodium and potassium enter.
The potential difference and as soon as it reaches, as I told you, minus 50.
It opens another channel called the transient one.
To let in what? Calcium. Okay? And what happens? After that happens.
A cell reaches you how much? I told you it reaches a cell at forty. Then from the cell.
At forty, we enter phase zero. What happens in phase zero?
Okay? I told you it opens another channel called what? The long-lasting one. Calcium enters.
Because of calcium movement through inside the cell. It is not
Not what? The entry is not fast.
He says here that because of calcium entry.
Because of calcium movement through this channel.
Okay, inside the cell, it is not fast, okay.
Therefore, the rate of depolarization is what? It is slower a bit.
therefore
the action potential of pacemaker
That is why we call it slow response.
And so what did we call it at first?
I told you pacemaker action potential.
I call it slow response.
Phase 4.
The repolarization was caused by.
Calcium entry.
As a result of what?
Opening of potassium channel.
Or outward potassium.
Along the concentration and electrical.
Gradient, I mean with the concentration gradient.
I mean from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Of course, you didn't start opening, so close the one above, exactly that.
What happens? You close and open what? And potassium goes out and closes.
The one that was what? That was entering. Here.
It stops what? Entering. It continues until we reach back to the original.
To about minus sixty, we return to minus sixty. Or toward, then what? After that.
As we approach minus sixty gradually, potassium starts. And then it starts.
The opposite, wasn't the start that it was entering? Yes, now it starts to open the gate.
What? Sodium, which is to what? We return again to phase four and so on. And this.
This is the drawing I drew, he repeats it again. Okay, what do we notice?
Now? We notice some notes, all we said at first. Which is that.
It fires 110. 110 what? 110, I mean beats.
Per minute. But doctor, my pulse is not 110. My pulse is between.
Sixty to ninety or sixty to one hundred. How is it 110 and my pulse simply.
I tell you that your regulator is what? Your regulator is the parasympathetic.
And the sympathetic, they control the heart rate. And you respond to it.
You tell me doctor, actually I have in the vagal tone the parasympathetic.
What connects? What makes 110 not appear on my heartbeats.
And it appears as if it is seventy-five or sixty or ninety because of the vagal tone.
Parasympathetic. Okay? Now, duto continuous inhibitory is a result of.
Where does it come from? From what is represented in what? In the parasympathetic. Which.
Goes to the SA node and reduces its rhythm from 110 to 75.
The vagus nerve supplies the whole cardiac muscle.
But he made a mistake.
The doctor asks you, does it build.
Vagus nerve.
Be regulatory, be control.
The atrium only.
I mean here.
There was SA node and AV node.
I don't know what and so on.
Correct, and Purkinje fibers.
And what we said.
You are asked and you say, and they say the sympathetic and parasympathetic do regulation for the SA node.
Which are the ones that regulate the atrium and the ventricle also.
And you say, no, be careful now, the ventricle has no relation to the vagus nerve.
Here, the vagus nerve supplies the whole cardiac muscle except the ventricle, and this is a blessing from God.
And this is called the vagal escape phenomenon.
This phenomenon.
Protects the ventricle from abnormally high.
Vagal stimulation.
Which can cause cardiac arrest.
Imagine with me if you.
The vagus worked.
What would happen to it?
Strong stimulation.
And therefore your heartbeats dropped a lot.
Reached for example.
Forty or something.
So if you want.
Your heartbeats or the atrium.
Not affected, no problem.
But the ventricle which pumps blood.
Is affected and becomes forty or less, you are in trouble. You might enter.
If heartbeats are for example thirty or twenty, then the blood that goes.
Because I told you the ventricle pumps blood to the tissue. So the blood that goes.
To the tissue will be enough for them. No. That is very slow, what do you fill with? Heartbeats.
Slow. So all the tissue will die while you every now and then.
Send it a little blood. A little blood. Suppose the rate reaches that what? Heartbeats.
That is what I see the factors that affect it and we can divide them.
If we divide them, I mean, okay, we divide them into those that affect what I told you.
The dialogue, I mean in the end what increases it and what decreases it, okay guys.
Let's see the first thing. The first thing I have are factors related to what like.
Deja just said it works through and decreases, it does what? I mean what? It decreases how?
Through stimulation, it binds to its receptor.
Old term called O, and it does what? Didn't I tell you it makes what.
Was entering and does for it, and I told you based on that, what do you think about.
The slope will decrease. And therefore it will decrease. I mean in the end what will happen? It will decrease.
He tells you in addition to that what? Yes, yes, also not only that.
O goes and stimulates something called, it makes potassium when, didn't I tell you if potassium outside extracellular is higher, this decreases.
Heart rate, right? So acetylcholine closes and increases potassium outside. Okay?
And this also decreases. Okay, second thing, O works through norepinephrine and acts on beta of that, I mean it increases.
Heart rate. The mechanism stimulates beta one. It binds to.
Beta one and works on it. And of course it works how? By increasing.
A second messenger called cyclic AMP. The important thing in the end doctor.
It does what? It goes to the funny channel and increases sodium. So.
You expected. And not only sodium. And calcium. So you expected.
The slope, what do you think about it? What happened to the slope? It increased the slope. While.
Here the slope decreased, so it will take time, how? It will take time until it happens but.
Here the slope increased, so from minus sixty we reached minus forty immediately, so it happened.
While here he said it will take time until it reaches minus forty.
Third thing and the chemical factors. Chemical.
Factors, let's see adrenaline. First thing adrenaline does what?
Increases the rhythm.
And we just said.
And acetylcholine decreases the rhythm.
And we just said that.
Thyroxine.
Thyroid hormone.
Hormone of the thyroid glands.
It stops. Temperature has a certain level. So what happened? If.
And I said below fifteen, also what happens? The heart beat stops. Okay, after.
If I asked you what you think about a thyroid patient
who has hyperthyroidism
meaning they have an increase in thyroid hormones
meaning they have overactive glands
what do you think about their heart rate?
Don't you find their heart rate is fast?
See, their heart rate is fast like this
because of what? Because of thyroxine
Thyroxine has the property
of increasing metabolism
it increases burning so it produces energy
So this thyroid patient you find them what?
warm, warm because
they have a fast metabolic rate or
fast metabolism and energy is released
in the form of heat. The same thing
Thyroxine has what effect on the pacemaker? It increases metabolism
of the pacemaker
so this increases the rate
of energy production inside, so it works faster and what signals does it produce?
Also, there is something else here maybe not written that
thyroxine goes to the receptors that it acts on
who? The ones adrenaline acts on, and it increases their number and increases
the sensitivity of adrenaline to them. Okay? Now, effects of ions.
Effects of ions, we have sodium, potassium, and calcium. Let's
see what the effects of these ions are. What is the effect of sodium?
It is the one that starts the what? Sodium is the one that starts, isn't it?
It was working on it and starting it, right? But it couldn't stimulate it. Why?
I told you it goes from minus sixty to minus fifty only and says goodbye and opens another channel called, so it can't stimulate
what? It needs someone to complete it. What about potassium ion? Didn't I say
that hypokalemia, what happens? Meaning potassium deficiency does what?
And hyperkalemia does what? Hypokalemia increases during it
Let's stay first. Yes, an increase in potassium deficiency is fast. Potassium deficiency
what happens? Potassium deficiency, if you want to know the mechanism,
it comes to the pacemaker and does what? It makes potassium channels what?
close quickly. And when they close quickly, what does that do? It increases the
automaticity causing tachycardia. As for hyperkalemia,
then hypokalemia causes what?
The concentration difference here of potassium
means hypokalemia
potassium goes out
and so what is more outside?
when hyperkalemia occurs,
hyperkalemia causes bradycardia, right?
It decreases heart rate
That's why I told you when they inject
potassium
the lethal injection
the American one they do
it stops the heart muscle how?
Because potassium causes bradycardia
if you give it in high doses, it stops the heart. Okay? So it stops
the heart. Of course, because potassium when it increases outside the cell
above the concentration of what? From inside, I told you it does what? It
opposes the action or function of what? Sodium that was entering through
So this is the story of sodium and potassium. It says
it can stop the heart. What about calcium? What does calcium do?
Calcium helps in systole. If calcium enters inside the cells, what does it do?
It goes to or causes cardiac systole. Also, hypercalcemia is responsible
for contraction, meaning for contraction. But if it increases greatly,
greatly, it makes the heart muscle in a contracted state
meaning it keeps the heart muscle contracted continuously
and relaxation does not occur in it.
Therefore, it starts to enter what?
a state of contraction
the heart muscle remains contracted, contracted, contracted
you enter a state of continuous contraction
this makes the heart muscle what? Stop
cardiac arrest
Regarding drugs now,
there are drugs called calcium channel blockers
calcium channel blockers like drugs called verapamil, you will study them in pharma
these go to the gates of what? The calcium channel and close calcium channels
which are the ones that open with activation
So when they do that, calcium does not enter inside
and therefore causes bradycardia
and so this is a treatment used for people who also have
by the way, it is also used in treating hypertension, yes
Okay, calcium shots are dangerous and never give calcium injection quickly. The calcium injection has something called calcium
gluconate, you should know it, it must be taken properly so it doesn't cause death.
Okay, effects of blood gases like what? We have oxygen deficiency and increased hydrogen or increased all that
all that simply decreases because these cells need
oxygen. So when it decreases or acidity increases,
all this reduces energy and affects the enzymes working inside
these cells. So in the end, it reduces. Now give me drugs. Drugs
so drugs that do not work like sympathetic will increase the rhythm
while parasympathetic mimetic drugs will decrease the rhythm
There is a famous drug called digitalis
this drug increases contractility very well in systole, it increases the muscle, makes the heart muscle contract
very well but it makes the sinus node and causes it to be inhibited, closing it
so we used it to cause what? Bradycardia
we used it as if it increases the contractility, we used it in treating heart failure where the heart muscle can't contract
and also since it causes inhibition, I can reduce the heart rate by using what? Using
Okay, now let's come to the effect of toxins
First, there are toxins like diphtheria and typhoid
diphtheria and typhoid are toxin poisons and they affect pacemaker cells causing inhibition
they destroy the enzymes of the pacemaker, so they are inhibited, so in the end the rhythm decreases
Now, the third thing we said is chemical, which we just mentioned, and nervous
and finally physical
Physical factors like what? Like warming
warming, meaning a patient who is warm and their temperature is
a bit high, not just what? No, have you ever seen a patient with high temperature
and slow heart rate? No, high temperature increases, increases, increases because
and every degree of temperature you increase your body temperature
the heart rate increases by ten beats per minute.
When you increase temperature, if your temperature was 37 and became
38, if at 37 your heart rate was 70, when it becomes 38 your heart rate will be 80.
Every degree of temperature you increase increases heart rate by ten beats per minute.
Meaning simply, it increases by ten, like I gave you the example, 70 becomes 80. Okay?
This is what? Because simply it speeds up reactions inside, you know these enzymes?
Temperature increases enzyme activity. So this is not difficult for you now.
Cooling, meaning if temperature is low, what happens?
It decreases, it decreases because it affects what?
It affects and decreases what comes out of it. But be careful if
the temperature is very high above 40, what does this do? It can do what?
It destroys cells, yes, it stops completely because enzymes, guys, enzymes
are present in all cells and enzymes depend on temperature. When
you increase temperature above 45, you break and denature
enzymes and proteins inside cells, so they die
and their function stops. Okay? Now, guys, let's come to or also
high temperature and I meant by cold below 15 also
stops because enzymes that depend on
metabolism and energy production also stop. Temperatures have a certain range.
So what happens if
it goes below 15? Also, what happens? The heart rate stops. Okay, after
that, we have the second property of the heart. Something we said, the heart has four
properties. The first property we took a while ago, right? The second property now, guys
That, we have the second property of the heart. Something we said the heart has four.
Properties. We took the first property a little while ago, right? The second property now, guys.
Which is, right? That potassium starts what? To go out. Then the plateau. And this is what? It is slow. And the membrane is almost.
Stable at how much? I told you zero. Almost two hundred milliseconds.
Because of balance. I told you because of the balance of ions. Which is the exit and entry.
The what? Let's also understand like we did and then go back
to the PDF. First, excitability. Excitability.
What does it mean? It means the heart's ability or the heart's capacity
to respond to a stimulus. That it receives, it receives, it receives a stimulus.
adequate stimuli
Okay, a sufficient stimulus.
So what happens to it?
It makes a response.
Now, the response it will make
will be in two forms.
Well, this response can be
in the form of mechanical contraction
or it can be
in the form of an action potential,
electrical, I mean.
The electrical
the action potential.
But you know
the Action Potential had two forms.
It was Slow
and Fast.
Slow Action Potential.
Right or not, which was represented in whom?
In the Pacemaker.
And you knew there was Fast
Action Potential.
That was represented in whom?
In the Muscle.
The Contractile Muscle Fiber.
Now,
we want to see
how the heart muscle, that is, how does the response happen, the electrical response?
The response of whom? Didn't it turn out to be electricity?
How does the muscle respond to this electricity? That it, what? We want to see
what makes the muscle. Let's draw the diagram, what? The diagram of
the what? What happens in the myocardium. Here.
This diagram here. We will draw here minus ninety millivolts, and here, for example,
zero millivolts, and here twenty millivolts. Let's see what
happens. First, I want a number. How many do I have first? These and these I have.
Let me draw a little above. And I have what we call
the plateau. The plateau in. The plateau. Okay? And I have what is. Now let's
take phase 0, which is depolarization.
So phase 0 is rapid depolarization.
If you ask what causes rapid depolarization,
what causes rapid depolarization? First, what happens? Calcium enters.
Calcium entry opens voltage gated fast channels.
We call it fast sodium channel.
So sodium enters.
It enters through what?
It enters, so we call it fast, so we call it. And the potential goes from minus ninety millivolts
to how much? To twenty millivolts, which is up to here. The potential reached
from minus ninety to minus, to minus twenty millivolts. Okay.
Not minus, sorry, yes, plus one hundred and,
because it's not minus since we passed zero.
Okay, plus one hundred plus twenty millivolts. This is due to what, guys? This
is due to calcium entry. This is phase zero. Then
what happens? Phase one. Phase one, which we call because this is
the part where what happens? Because of closing, what happens? You will start
to close the previous phase. Close the previous one. So you close
what is called gate and open what? Open a gate for potassium here and potassium exits.
Like this. Potassium what? Exits potassium.
So here what happened?
Potassium efflux through gates called
potassium efflux. Potassium comes out like this.
Okay. The result here is what? The potential decreased, what? It reached
twenty millivolts. The potential reached twenty millivolts. This is called
but at the beginning. Let's continue. We have in the myocardium three phases. The first,
second, and third. All of them. The second we call the plateau phase.
And note that the plateau phase was not present in any of the action potentials nor in
the plateau. Okay, let's see what happens in the plateau and I'll tell you why it's not
present. The plateau, which is phase two, happens in what? Here,
the plateau has a balance between ions. Therefore, note that it is present
at zero, so here there is an ionic balance. If
something enters and something exits. And this is what really happens in the plateau
phase. Because calcium enters and potassium exits.
Calcium enters and potassium exits.
So there is calcium influx and potassium efflux. Okay? So this is what? The exit
of potassium and entry of calcium. Now the importance of calcium
in the plateau phase is what? Because the calcium here, guys, is
what will do, what is important in the contraction process. It will go
to calcium stores. Okay? Inside the cells. Okay? Inside
the muscles. And it releases calcium and does what? Okay? Does what? Does
contraction. Yes, and therefore what? Therefore, in this phase, what happens
from the beginning, the process starts especially in the process. And therefore here in
it happens that the muscle cannot feel any stimulus.
The muscle cannot receive another stimulus. Why? Doctor, here I tell you
can two happen at the same time? No. So
here it happens, but it cannot happen while we started, it cannot happen that the muscle contracts again. Okay? So this is the benefit.
What happens in it? And calcium entry which is important in contraction.
In muscle contraction. Okay, what else happens? But this is what
happens in. Let's continue to the third phase which is what happens
also? Potassium exits again. But this time potassium
exits in large amounts. Okay? Potassium exits in large amounts. So this is
called repolarization. Here we closed the calcium channels. Okay.
I told you when you start phase, close the old channels you left behind.
And potassium starts to exit in large amounts. Potassium exits
in large amounts. Okay? The result here is what happened? We restored
our potential and returned to minus ninety. We reached minus ninety. We reached
minus ninety. Then we enter phase four. So this is
phase what? The phase above. Which is this phase where you need to return
and complete, that is, return the ions to their normal place. Which
is to operate your pump called because potassium should not
be outside. It should be inside. So this pump here is a pump that takes
potassium in and pumps sodium out to restore the normal distribution
that God created in the ions. Okay? Now, what else?
And also it works even sodium calcium pump.
So that also to restore the cell's natural ions.
Okay, so this is the action potential that happens at the muscle level.
Now let's see what? The excitability here
means what? The heart's ability to respond to a sufficient stimulus that makes the muscle respond. This response
is in two forms. Either you have, either it comes out in the form of
cardiac muscle cells self-excited, meaning, of course, we said it is self-excited because
it produces action potentials by itself by the pacemaker, old stuff, and conducts or
transmits this electricity through the AV node, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers.
Okay? To produce cardiac muscle conduction or what we call fast response.
Because after that it goes to and does what we call.
The interval what? Okay. Then I tell you. We said minus ninety, okay. And then minus
zero which is the response.
Caused by what? From minus ninety I told you it reaches plus twenty as a result of what?
Through what? Or or then the rapid what? Here it is called because you were producing and then what? Show
something simple. It happens and then it closes, right? Show, so we call it what?
Meaning something what? Not not, okay. Simple. As a result of closing the previous channel.
Which is, okay? That potassium starts to exit. Then the plateau. And this is what?
It is slow. And the membrane almost holds steady at how much? I told you at zero. Almost two hundred milliseconds.
Because of its ionic balance. I told you because of the balance of ions. Which is the exit and entry.
Exactly, if you did it twice in a row, when will the heart fill?
So it fills what? It allows enough time for the heart to.
Fill. Now we have something called what? We finished something called.
Phase B. What is this? This phase, what happens in it? This phase.
Calcium. And as a result, the long-lasting channel opens, right? And where was this located? In the D start D that opens even in its readiness for calcium entry.
As soon as it reaches minus forty. As soon as it reaches minus forty, it starts, meaning it remains, what? The channel remains open before what? Before it undergoes what? This is what? This is the calcium channel. Right?
And what else happens? Potassium, what happens to it? It goes out. Then what was it? The one below, which is the result of closing the previous channel, which is the channel, and then the potassium channel opens, maximum activated.
I said potassium goes out with what? Fast, fast potassium flux. And finally, we reach the resting membrane potential. Right?
Then what do I wait for? For it to happen again and we repeat the same idea from the beginning. And this is the drawing we drew together. We made a comparison between what happens in the pacemaker and the slope.
Here it was minus ninety, there it was minus sixty or minus fifty-five step. Here it was there, I told you why God made it to be ready to immediately release electricity, to release it immediately. Right?
Here, ours, which is what? This one, which is represented by sodium entry. But there, the upstroke is a bit slow, which is the sodium entry we explained.
Here, as a result of calcium, we reach how much? We said here plus twenty. There, we said plus ten millivolts. The plateau is present here, but here there is no plateau.
Why, doctor, is there no plateau? I'll tell you, my dear, you want to know? Here, no. The plateau was caused by what? Calcium entry and potassium exit. Calcium was causing in this phase of the plateau.
So, do you need phase one, phase two, and phase three? But there, only.
Then, guys, we talk about something called the absolute refractory period.
What is the absolute refractory period, doctor? I'll tell you now. This is the phase in which you have no response to excitability.
Meaning, here is the phase I explained to you, where I said when it is like this, like this, like this. I told you here or even not only from zero, one, two, and the first part of three, you cannot have here another occurrence.
It cannot happen, meaning the heart cannot feel or respond to any other stimulus. Why, doctor? Because here, something is happening. Two cannot happen together, otherwise the heart will have a problem called the heart being tetanized and it will enter what?
It may die, meaning. Therefore, here, this phase is represented by zero, one, two, and the early part of three.
But if it happens after what? You continue quickly normally, we finished the contraction, thank God. Then you can go out normally and respond.
So you have the absolute refractory period, meaning there is no response. Here it is, what? It says in zero, one, two, and the early part of three and part of three. Right?
Until we reach full minus fifty. Uh, yes, meaning the phase which is zero, one, two, and three represented by what? Represented by, what doctor? Meaning represented by the systole phase.
Meaning if I want to draw the systole for you, the systole is represented like this. Draw it like this. This is the systole, the period in which the heart contracts.
Then, meaning zero, one, two, and three, which is the yellow part going up, this is the systole, the contraction.
Then the diastole. So it tells you here mine is considered to include the systole phase and also part of what? The diastole, which is the period in which the heart undergoes relaxation.
This is the stole, while the systole is the phase in which contraction of the heart and pumping of blood occurs.
The importance of the long acting, which I mean, the absolute refractory period, which is the phase in which the heart does not respond to any stimulus.
Its importance is what? I told you, it prevents something called tetanus or tetanized.
That the heart undergoes tetanus, it spasms from the risk of contraction.
And it prevents cardiac fatigue because if it gets two contractions.
If it happens twice at the same time, the heart will get tired. It allows time for the heart to fill.
Exactly, if you do it twice in a row, when will the heart fill?
So it allows enough time for the heart to fill. Now we have something called, we finished the thing called.
B. What is this? This phase, what happens in it? This phase is supposed to be finished from zero, one, two, and three and started to go down to what?
Started to go down, right? In this period, you start to go down until you reach what? Minus seventy-five.
You kept the last one with me at minus seventy-five millivolts. So here, minus seventy-five millivolts, and you are going down from what? From above, from almost zero, down to minus seventy-five.
Can your body respond to something? No. Here, I mean, to respond to something, you need a strong stimulus.
Because from zero to minus ninety, there is a big voltage difference. So you need a strong stimulus to produce electricity for you.
Therefore, here your body does not respond. Here you start to recover the normal state, meaning you cannot respond to something here, but what?
But why? Because I just tell you if something comes to you, maybe, but yes, the voltage difference from zero to minus ninety is very far, so something making you here is difficult.
So here, it is the same, he said, it is not like the one above. Here, it is impossible for something to affect you, but here, if something strong happens, maybe.
That is why they called it relative. Right? Because you started to return to normal, here it is until you reach minus seventy-five.
And this phase is the remaining because zero, one, two, and three, part of three, which is all the systole, which is the yellow part, and part of what? And part of the rest.
This is the stole represented in the problem we have. There is something strange, guys, listen.
It needs some thinking here. The cell started to go down to what? We started to go down to minus ninety, right?
We said from minus seventy-five to minus ninety, we continue on the relative. We reached minus seventy-five.
You, by the way, minus seventy-five millivolts is close to minus ninety.
Meaning here, it is not possible for something strange to come out alive as a pulse.
Because we are almost close to normal.
So something might have the ability to produce electricity.
And produce electricity and cause a new action potential outside the SA node. You will say, doctor, didn't you tell me the SA node is the one working?
Yes, but in pathological cases, there are pathological cases.
Where something called ectopic focus happens.
And this ectopic focus, doctor, is ectopic, meaning external, and focus means a point.
A point outside the SA node.
It has no relation to the SA node.
It produces electricity, so it takes advantage of the fact that you are close to the voltage.
It became from minus seventy-five close to ninety, close to minus ninety.
It suddenly fires at this phase.
So this is called supernormal.
And this is a dangerous phase, so we call it vulnerable.
Meaning a critical or dangerous phase.
Here, excitability is higher than normal.
Meaning here the cell can be excited faster than normal.
Because here, you are close to minus ninety.
It happens when? In the last part of phase 3.
It follows after the relative until the membrane is fully repolarized.
It happens at the end of diastole.
And this is a dangerous phase.
Right?
Supposedly, you finished, yes, from zero, one.
Then two, three and started to go down to what? Started to return to the normal voltage of.
It started to go down, right? In this period, you start to go down until.
You reach what? Minus seventy-five. I kept the last one at minus seventy-five.
Millivolts. So here minus seventy-five millivolts. And you are going down.
From what? From above, from about zero, down to minus seventy-five.
Can your body respond to something? No. Here I need a strong stimulus.
Because from zero to minus ninety is a big voltage difference.
So you need a strong stimulus to produce what? To produce electricity. So here your body does not respond.
Here you start to restore normality. That is, you cannot respond to something here. But what?
But why? Because I just tell you if you get, maybe. But yes.
The voltage difference from zero to minus ninety is very far. Something does something hard for you here.
So here it is the same, he said, it is not like above. Here.
It is impossible for something here to affect you, but here maybe if something strong.
Maybe. That is why they said relative. Okay? Because you started to return to normal, here it is.
Until you reach minus seventy-five. And this phase which is left because it was.
Taken zero, one, two, and three. Part of three, which is.
All systole, which is in yellow here. And part of what? And part of the rest.
This is systole represented in the problem we have, something strange, guys, you hear.
This needs some thinking here. The cell started what? To go down to what? Started, we started.
To go down to what? Minus ninety, right? We said from minus seventy-five to minus.
Ninety, we continue the what? On the relative. We reached minus seventy-five.
You basically. Isn't minus seventy-five millivolts close to minus ninety?
Meaning here, it is not possible for something strange.
To come out alive as a pulse.
So maybe something has the ability.
To produce electricity.
And do what? Produce electricity and cause.
A new action potential outside of.
The SA node, you will say doctor, didn't you.
Tell me the SA node is the one working, yes, but in pathological cases.
In pathological cases.
Something called.
Ectopic focus.
And this ectopic focus, doctor, is like a cow.
Ectopic means external and focus means cow.
A cow outside the SA node.
It produces electricity, so it exploits that you are close to the voltage.
It became from minus 75.
You got close to ninety, here you got close to minus 90.
Then it produces at this phase.
And this is a dangerous phase, so we call it.
Vulnerable.
Here the excitability is higher than normal.
Meaning here the cell can be excited.
Faster than normal.
Because here, because you are close to.
Minus ninety.
It happens when in the last part of phase 3.
It follows after the relative.
Until the membrane is fully.
Repolarized. It happens in the end diastole.
Dangerous period in which the excitation.
That the heart is like you made the video pause.
Like you stopped the heart.
As if the heart stopped for half a second more, it says what is this?
Meaning no one came.
Okay, so from them, it became a little more.
wave lead to cardiac arrhythmia
And here unfortunately
it causes something called arrhythmia
like ventricular fibrillation
and I imagine with me I'm telling you that the alb
and it beats one beat and the second and the third. That's normal. I came and told you doctor you have ectopic focus. Honestly this ectopic focus leaves you
fall what happens the first beat the second and then it goes up here count minus five
and seven. And it makes you the fourth beat. As if you were beating one two three
became one two three four. In two beats five and four. The two beats five and four what is their cause? Their cause is that happened in that ectopic focus
and this is what we will explain below
this causes a disease called what now
extrasystole
extrasystole is due to a
strange beat coming from outside
the pacemaker we will explain it to you now
so you understood
the part of the supernormal phase
come now because this part is annoying
and to explain it to you I will give you an example
better to clarify this talk to you
what is this extrasystole
Doctor extrasystole
extrasystole my dear that you have the heart it was
honestly it was working perfectly. One day suddenly here appeared
a cow named also it started to moo. So if I give you an example just
this example that will clarify all this talk. If I give you an example now.
the natural generator in my body what will it produce? Uh three
beats beat and beat and a beat. The first beat will come at the first second.
and the second beat will come to me. Okay? And the third beat
will come to me what at the third second. So I have three beats.
I don't have the disease called yet. And let's suppose that something happened to him.
what will happen? Suddenly at one and a half seconds. Suddenly at
what? At one and a half seconds here like this. A beat appeared here
at one and a half seconds
what will happen doctor
what happened first
the heart contracted normally
it happened
contracted normally
it came at one and a half seconds
and contracted again
it was supposed to contract at the second second
but what happened a strange cow appeared
it appeared so
it appeared at one and a half seconds
we want a bigger drawing but okay
it appeared like this at one and a half seconds
okay
so this is the first beat
and this is the second beat but a strange beat
so where does the normal second beat go doctor?
unfortunately now
the normal second beat comes to
meaning it comes out
you find that the heart is in the absolute
refractory period that we mentioned
so the second beat appears
does not appear because the strange beat
took its place
so the second beat says to it
move aside
the heart tells it move aside
I have a beat working I can't contract
because I told you you have absolute refractory period
so here
the heart took the first beat
okay and took the second beat okay
took the first beat at second
and took the first second beat at one and a half seconds
so what about the absolute refractory period
it will continue for
for example 0.4 seconds
or 0.3
meaning the heart like this unless something happened
meaning the heart like this
remained
okay so the heart now
what happened the heart like this
working from the first second
to the second second
which is one and a half seconds and zero point four
meaning it remains two seconds
and the second second was canceled because we are in
the absolute refractory period right or not?
and the third second
so the second second was canceled so who remains the third second
imagine now you are sitting from the second
from one and a half seconds to the third second
became one and a half seconds this
is a very long time guys
I said between each beat and beat is one second
but you counted one and a half seconds
so the heart took a long time
to reach the third beat
why doctor the second beat was canceled
so it took time
until we reach the third beat
will this cause a problem? It will cause a problem I will tell you about it
okay so you took a pause like this
the heart stopped saying
guys where is the third beat
I am late now by half a second more than my time
and it does not know that because a strange beat came
took the place of the second beat
so the second beat when it came after half a second
did not find its place it found its place in
absolute refractory period
so the third beat came
as I told you after a full one and a half seconds
okay after a full one and a half seconds
meaning the heart
took longer than normal right or not?
and that's why the patient tells you doctor
I felt my heart stopped
all of a sudden like this
I felt a beat dropped from me
the heart stopped all of a sudden because it took
a full one and a half seconds
so there really was a beat dropped from the eye this
okay and after a while
he tells you what and tells you after
they call it post
potentiation he tells you after a while
he tells you when the
third beat came doctor meaning he finally
felt that his heart what stopped a little
but when the beat came after it guys
this patient said what
he told you I felt after my heart
stopped a little a very strong contraction
what is the cause of this contraction guys
if I ask you you will say the heart
stopped one and a half seconds
so it took time to fill
so it filled a lot of blood
so when it contracted
the contraction was loaded with blood
so it made what
a strong beat
I hope it is clear because the topic is what
needs an example like this
okay this extrasystole is a pathological condition in which there is an abnormal impulse a strange beat abnormal coming from ectopic focus outside the normal pacemaker and this is expressed as abnormal systole premature premature means what means it came early so they called it premature second and a half before it comes what happens in the diastole phase in which the heart fills
extrasystole is due to what excitability
above the normal
which usually occur after end of relative
uh when does it happen
this extrasystole happens after the end of the
relative refractory period
okay which is when in the supernormal
phase in the previous phase
and you in the supernormal phase when you were close
to the resting membrane potential
and it appeared that what the beat
okay where does it happen in the supernormal phase
or at the end
at the end of the RRP
or at the beginning of the Supernormal phase
that's why we call it the Vulnerable period
so the Abnormal site of ectopic focus
there are 3 places where this cow can come
the first place is the Atrial
at the Atrium
the Auricle we call it Atrial Extrasystole
or at the AV node
at the AV node we call it AV node Extrasystole
or in the Ventricular
we call it Ventricular Extrasystole
the causes
natural things
that you are nervous
your nature is nervous
Heavy smoker
or emotional
sadness and stress. Things that cause problems at the level of what? The heart. It happens to you.
like for example uh atherosclerosis or heart attack. Uh okay what happens?
there is.
ventricular extrasystole.
called post extra systolic potentiation
the compensation
this compensation phase guys
which is the phase
in which the heart is waiting
for the third beat to come and it was delayed
it took one and a half seconds
so when it was delayed the heart was filling
more blood because it was waiting
so it filled more blood
and the next phase listen to what
post extra
or post systolic potentiation
or post extra systolic potentiation
which is what
when the third beat came it came strong
because it filled more blood
the Explanation now explains why the Compensatory Pause happened
the Compensatory Pause which is what
that the heart as if you made the video pause
as if you stopped the heart
as if the heart stopped for half a second more it says what is this
meaning no one came
so what happened then a little more
it says Arrival of the normal
Due to Arrival of the normal heart beat
It says to you Arrival of the normal.
Due to Arrival of the normal heartbeat.
It's like the heart stopped for an extra half a second, what is this saying?
I mean, no one came.
So from them, it became a bit more, what else?
It tells you Arrival of the normal
As a result of the Arrival of the normal heart beat
that was supposed to come at the second
appeared in the absolute
refractory period, so what
the heart won't show it, say goodbye to it
what do you call it, Mazed?
Mazed or dropped beat, which is when the patient comes
and tells me that they felt a missed beat
okay, the excitability here
is zero, and we know in the absolute
refractory, but the longest
is the post extrasystolic potentiation
no, here it happened as a result of the large
amount of calcium from
sarcoplasmic reticulum
in addition to increase
ventricular filling
the ventricle was filling with blood when we delayed it
plus calcium also from
inside from sarcoplasmic reticulum came out
this when it created this created
so it created the ventricle to increase
increase the blood volume
and therefore when you do
it becomes strong
and so in the end what happened
the time of
with with with this this means what happened here? what happened in the end?
guys? what happened is that you have uh the time that means there is a time the time of
and the time of okay? and the time became that of the third beat which
only and this is what we explained. Okay, so what do we say now?
the last thing in the file we tell you something called.
what? that here it tells you which is of
it starts. As I told you I drew the systole what? it starts what? after
approximately it starts at zero point two. zero point what? two
seconds what? it takes what? more than approximately one and a half times. one and what?
meaning the start of contraction happens after what? after which is with zero point
two. so contraction happens when? after phase zero at zero point
two seconds. okay? and it is delayed. it is delayed, it takes what? it takes uh
approximately uh one and a half times the action time. why this delay? this delay
is due to the result of calcium entry as I told you and it goes to and acts on
the muscle in the myosin and actin of the muscle so it happens. it reaches
its effect at the end of the plateau. because what happens in calcium entry.
where does diastole start? diastole. it tells you here diastole starts at
phase three. at phase what? three.
and it ends of course and ends at what? at the bottom. so here it tells you
the second half of diastole. okay? which is phase four. here the cell
was completely rested. but what happens at the dead meat
that happens in the sun uh happens in the rapid
rapid phase. this is the start of diastole. or okay? while the end
of the last part of diastole happens where? in phase five and we have reached okay?
okay and so we have explained
here it tells you this is our action potential here
and the absolute refractory period
which we said is what
includes phase zero
and includes two and three
the early part of the stall
and here as I drew for you
the contraction
and then the stall
and the stall
and this is the absolute refractory period phase
and I hope you found the lecture
