Cardiovascular Basics
This term describes the pumping ability of the ventricle.
What is Ejection Fraction
This occurs when heart rate has an inability to increase in response to exercise.
What is chronotropic incompetence?
Jon's resting blood pressure of 131/82 falls into this classification.
What is hypertension
This is the point at which pulmonary ventilation increases disproportionately with oxygen consumption.
What is ventilatory threshold?
This iron-containing protein is found in skeletal muscle fibers.
What is myoglobin
These receptors found in the carotid artery and aortic arch regulate blood pressure.
What are baroreceptors?
This adaptation allows women to have higher submaximal cardiac output compared to men.
What is decreased hemoglobin (in women)?
This value is calculated as (SBP x HR)
What is rate pressure product?
These are the two variables that determine minute ventilation.
What are tidal volume and breathing rate?
This describes the union of oxygen with hemoglobin
What is cooperative binding?
This graph shows an increase and plataue at 50% of max.
What is stroke volume?
This phenomenon describes the progressive increase in heart rate during prolonged exercise and a decrease in SV.
What is cardiovascular drift?
This post-exercise phenomenon may lower blood pressure for up to 12 hours.
What is post-exercise hypotension (PEH)?
This lung volume increases with age and after an acute exercise session.
What is residual lung volume
This effect explains how pH and temperature affect oxygen binding to hemoglobin.
What is the Bohr Effect?
This principle explains how enhanced blood volume causes an increased stroke volume.
What is Frank-Starling's law?
This type of exercise appears to be most effective for reducing blood pressure in strength training.
What is static/isometric training?
This non-invasive test is an indicator of peripheral artery disease.
What is ankle brachial index
A reduced FEV1% is indicative of this type of lung disease.
What is obstructive lung disease?
This compound in red blood cells affects oxyhemoglobin dissociation.
What is 2,3-DPG (2,3-Diphosphoglycerate)?
