  7. EIGHT OF HEARTS

 

The heart is a muscle, about the size of your fist that is encased in a sac called the pericardium. The pericardium helps to keep the heart in position and protects it from getting hurt. The pericardium and the heart are separated by a layer of lubricating fluid which allows the heart to pump freely inside the walls of the chest. The heart is made up of three layers of muscle, the endocardium, myocardium and epicardium. The myocardium makes up about seventy five percent of the heart tissue. The epicardium is a thin lining that covers the myocardium. There is a layer called the endocardium that is between the myocardium and the inside of the heart. The endocardium acts as the inner covering of the heart and protects the myocardium.

The heart functions as a pump that circulates nourishment and oxygen to, and carbon dioxide and waste away from, tissues and organs of the body. The heart is separated into four different chambers through which blood is pumped. The heart is separated by a thick wall of muscle called the septum, which divides the heart into two halves. Each half is then separated into an upper and lower chamber by valves. The upper chambers are called the atria and are the inputs to the heart. The lower chambers are called the ventricles and are the outputs of the heart.

The valves that separate the upper and lower chambers are called the atrioventriclular valves. The valve that separates the right atrium from the right ventricle is called the tricuspid valve and the valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle is called the mitral valve. A different set of valves controls the flow of blood from each ventricle to the main arteries. The valve that separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery, the artery that carries blood to the lungs, is called the pulmonary valve. The aortic valve is the valve that separates the left ventricle from the aorta, the main artery that carries blood to the rest of the body's organs and tissues.

Electrical Potential of a Cardiac Cell

 

The cardiac system is a closed-loop hydraulic system that is constantly contracting and relaxing, pumping blood throughout the body. The cell wall of cardiac cells is a semipermeable membrane that allows the passage of some ions while restricting others. The cell membranes, at rest, tend to be more permeable to some ions than others. The movement of ions across a membrane changes the concentration of ions within and outside the cells which results in an action potential. This action potential of the cell results in a depolarizing and repolarizing of the cell itself. In a cardiac cell the action potential is caused by the movement of sodium and potassium at different rates. A phenomenon in a cardiac cell called the sodium-potassium pump moves sodium outside the cell and potassium inside. This results in a difference of ion concentration which in turn results in an electrical potential.

At rest the concentration of positive sodium ions outside the cell is higher than the concentration of sodium inside the cell which results in the electrical potential. This electrical potential is negative with respect to the outside resulting in a resting potential of a negative seventy to ninety millivolts. When the cell is stimulated, the sodium ions rush into the cell forcing potassium out which results in the action potential. This action potential results in the inside of the cell being twenty to forty millivolts more positive than the outside and the cell is said to have depolarized.

The cell is repolarized when the sodium-potassium pump pumps the sodium back out of the cell and the potassium back into the cell which resets the cell so it can be depolarized again. An ionic electrical conduction is started by the depolarization of one cell which in turn triggers the next cell causing an action potential. This situation causes a triggering of cells in a cascade effect making all the cells depolarized.

 

Exercise 22. Give Ukrainian equivalents to the following words and word combinations.

Electroconduction System of the Heart

 

The electroconduction system of the heart is a complicated system of the body that begins in the right atrium at the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node, a small bundle of cells located on the back wall of the right atrium, serves as a pacemaker for the heart. The SA node fires, by self-excitation, an electrical impulse that is spread across the right atrium and to the left atrium by the Bachman's bundle so that both atria can contract at the same time.

The contraction of the atria forces blood from the atria to the ventricles through their respective valves. The impulse that is started at the SA node then travels to the atrioventricular (AV) node. The AV node acts as a delay line to slow down the action potential along the internal electroconduction system.

This is done so that all of the blood from the atria can be emptied into the ventricles before the ventricles contract. The action potential then travels from the AV node to the Purkinje fibers. The Purkinje fibers are arranged in two bundles, one bundle branching to the muscle in the right ventricle and the other branching to the muscles in the left ventricles.

The action potential moves through these fibers very rapidly and spreads throughout the ventricles at two to four meters per second. This causes the ventricles to pump fast and hard. This forces the blood through their respective valves out to the body at an extremely fast rate.

The contraction of the ventricles is known as systole. The relaxation of the ventricles is known as diastole.

The electroconduction of the heart starting at the SA node and traveling through the AV node to the Purkinje fibers creates a mass electrical signal that can be detected by placing electrodes on a patient's chest or extremities.

This electrical signal can be mechanically plotted and the resultant plot is called an electrocardiogram (ECG). The letters on the ECG represent different functions that occur in the heart. The P-wave indicates atrial contraction. Ventricular contraction is represented by the QRS complex, and the T-wave indicates ventricular repolarization.

Electrocardiograph

 

Electrocardiography is a method of graphic tracing of the electric current generated by the heart muscle during a heartbeat. The tracing is recorded with an electrocardiograph.

Electrocardiograph is a device to be attached to an organism’s chest in order to measure the physical movement of the heart in the chest. This device records the sounds of the heart as the blood moves through the various chambers, valves and vessels. The graph signature reflects the opening and closing of the valves, the contraction and strength of the heart muscle, and efficiency of the movement of blood. In other words, the graph signature is a reflection of heart activity. This graph signature is called an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG).

ECG is a recording of the heart’s electrical activity as a graph or series of wave lines on a moving strip of paper or video. Three of the waves, the P-wave, the QRS complex and the T-wave, are associated with the heart’s contractions. The P-wave reflects activity in the heart’s upper chambers. The QRS complex and T-wave reflect activity in the lower chambers.

The ECG gives the physician important information about the heart. For example, it can show the heart’s rate and rhythm. It can also imply decreased blood flow (cardiac ischemia), enlargement (hypertrophy) of the heart or the presence of either current or past heart attacks.

ECGs are noninvasive, quick, safe, painless and inexpensive tests that are routinely done if a heart condition is suspected. Depending on what the results show, in combination with the patient’s medical history and a physical exam, the physician may order further tests or a combination of medications and lifestyle changes.

Nowadays the electrocardiograph has been improved by today’s technological advances. It combines high functionality, easy operation and aesthetic design.

Problems occuring in the Heart

 

The heart is a system that has to be exact in all of its functions from start to finish for each beat to beat successfully. If an problem occurs, severe or minor, it can cause death for the patient. Physicians can look at a simple ECG reading and can tell if the patient is having any problems that can either be fatal or could lead to something fatal. Some heart problems that plague humans around the world are arrhythmias.

Arrhythmias are abnormal beats that can be detected on the ECG. Two of the arrhythmias that people with heart problems encounter are tachycardia and bradycardia. Tachycardia is a problem in which the heart beats at a rate faster than the normal human heart rate. Treatment for tachycardia consists of cardioversion or the delivery of a broad depolarizing shock to a restricted region of the heart. Rapid bursts of pacemaker impulses timed and placed at the proper time can often stop the tachycardia. Bradycardia is a problem in which the heart beats at a rate slower than the normal human heart rate. An implanted pacemaker can restore the lower heart rate to a more physiological value that will improve cardiovascular function.

Fibrillation is another major problem that affects the heart. Fibrillation is the uncontrolled beating of different parts of the heart. Ventricular fibrillation is a fatal arrhythmia of the heart in which the victim will die in minutes if it is not corrected. Atrial fibrillation is a less serious arrhythmia because the ventricles are still pumping. However it can lead to problems if it is not corrected. Heart block is another problem caused by the interruption of the internal electroconduction system of the heart. These are a few heart problems that people encounter that can be conquered with help from pacemakers, defibrillators, and modern technology.

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Defibrillators

 

The defibrillator is a device to be used by physicians for control of all critical care situations. The generation of modern units was developed in close consultation with medical experts to give them more reliability and greater control in any situation.

In critical care situations, physicians need to concentrate on the patient, not on the equipment. It's essential, therefore, that their defibrillator responds intelligently, accurately and on demand. Designed with the patient and user in mind, the new highly portable defibrillator and cardiac care system help emergency care clinicians expedite confident patient care.

Rugged design and water-tight standard conformity make some of the defibrillators ideally suited for both demanding emergency care environments and out-of-hospital use. The vibrant find-it-anywhere yellow housing and lightweight ergonomic design make them easy to use in fast-paced settings.

Sophisticated configuration and service modes allow easy device set-up and servicing. The monitor with its high-resolution display can be rotated by up to 180°, allowing you to keep an eye on your patient wherever you are: on the ward, in the operating theatre, intensive care or emergency admissions. All the important critical event data are recorded automatically and archived in the memory for recall when required, e.g. for a printout.

Just one gesture is all it takes to start the 3-step operating procedure quickly and easily. The clearly identifiable, colour-coded steps exclude virtually all-operating error and win you precious time. In the 'Autosequence' mode, normal adult energy levels (pre-configured) are selected automatically in succession without any need to increase the energy level, leaving you free to concentrate entirely on the patient.

The unit's compact design and low weight (only 8 kg, including mains adaptor, battery and paddles) plus optional SpO (oxygen saturation measurement) and/or external pacemaker means you have all the essential equipment you need at hand in the clinic and in pre-hospital use, now and in the future.

The latest generation of compact defibrillators

 

The latest generation of compact defibrillators is the ideal defibrillators for rapid, reliable treatment in cardiac emergencies. The colour coded 3-step operating sequence, fail-safe two-hand defibrillation, visual and audible control signals, automatic internal safety discharging if the defibrillation function is interrupted and sophisticated service diagnostics guarantee exceptional reliability. Can be mains or battery operated for complete flexibility, wherever you are.

Modern defibrillators are the technically improved version of the former defibrillators. Essential in cardiology practices and for ergometric measuring, these units is designed to cope perfectly with any emergency situation and ensures safe, reliable defibrillation for babies right through to adults.

Extra functions such as e.g. synchronous defibrillation (Cardio-version) or the option of using different defibrillation electrodes(adhesive electrodes, internal defibrillation electrodes or handheld paddles) allow almost limitless use. Ideal for the stress test labs, in the operating theatre, the electro-physiological laboratory, on intensive care or cardiac wards, or anywhere else where a patient is being monitored.
