Anaphylaxis is a relative uncommon event in pregnancy that can have serious implications for both mother and foetus. Two cases of grade 3 anaphylactic shock occurring at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy are reported; the causal agents were respectively amoxicilline and suxamethonium. Maternal and foetal outcome was good after adequate resuscitation and caesarean section performed in both cases because of severe bradycardia. A review of the literature confirms the good maternel outcome; neurologic damage in the newborn is frequent. On the basis of physiologic findings degranulation of placental mast cell is e...

Mechanical events and the pressure–volume relationshipsEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Depolarization of cardiac muscle fibres spreads from fibre to fibre throughout the myocardium. In a single fibre, contraction starts just after depolarization and lasts until just after repolarization is complete. The atria contract, completing the filling of the ventricles and thus enhancing their action. In the absence of effective atrial contraction (e.g. atrial fibrillation) cardiac output is decreased on average by 15%. During diastole, when cardiac muscle is relaxed, blood returns to the heart and passes through the atrioventricular (AV) valves into the ventricles. The semilunar valves, between the ventricl...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: The heart has all the components necessary to initiate and maintain a regular heartbeat, without the need for external influence. Thus, a transplanted heart without nervous connection, or a heart completely removed from the body, if adequately perfused with oxygen, beats rhythmically. In the normal intact body, the function of the nervous and humoral regulation is to modulate the activity of the heart, though some aspects of modulation are intrinsic properties of cardiac muscle.

Abstract: Introduced by Einthoven, electrocardiography remains the most common diagnostic procedure readily available to the physician in primary and secondary care. It is a graphical display of the electrical potential difference as it spreads through the heart and is recorded at the body surface. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an indispensable tool to screen and monitor cardiac patients. Exercise ECG is used to diagnose coronary artery disease and ambulatory ECG to assess arrhythmias.

Electromechanical coupling and regulation of force of cardiac contractionEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Cardiac muscle fibres, like skeletal muscle fibres, are divided into sarcomeres, the basic unit of contraction. The contractile elements include actin, myosin, tropomyosin and troponin. The myosin molecules are arranged into thick filaments, while the actin molecules form the basis of the thin filaments. The troponin and tropomyosin are attached to the thin filaments as in skeletal muscle. In contrast to fast skeletal muscle fibres, which need to produce repetitive mechanical action only for short periods before resting, and hence can accrue an oxygen debt, cardiac muscle fibres need to perform repetitive activit...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Arrhythmias are common in patients undergoing anaesthesia and surgery or in those in intensive care. They are associated with a variety of underlying disorders or disease states. Arrhythmias must be identified promptly and managed appropriately. In many cases, this involves prevention or correction of precipitating factors and sometimes non-pharmacological treatments (cardioversion or surgical ablation), but anti-arrhythmic drugs are often required. These drugs are categorized according to their mechanism of action using the Vaughan Williams system. However, this is less useful in determining the choice of anti-a...

Abstract: Antihypertensive drugs are used commonly in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine. Patients might require antihypertensive drugs before surgery for the treatment of essential hypertension, pre-eclampsia or occasionally for conditions such as phaeochromocytoma; during surgery as part of a deliberate hypotensive anaesthestic technique; or to reduce postoperative cardiovascular complications. Here, we discuss the physiology of blood pressure control, the pharmacology of antihypertensive drugs, current guidelines and practical applications of antihypertensive therapy.

Abstract: Heart failure (HF) and coronary insufficiency are common among intensive care patients or those undergoing surgery. Both conditions can present as an acute decompensated state with high mortality or with a more stable, chronic course. Although similar drugs can be used to treat both conditions, an understanding of the respective pathological processes enables better targeting of treatment. Several drugs have been recently developed for HF and coronary insufficiency. It is increasingly appreciated that HF is not a single entity: the pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis depend on whether systolic or diastolic d...

InotropesEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Inotropes increase the force of contraction of cardiac muscle and thereby increase cardiac output. In general, they are used to prevent anaerobic metabolism by improving oxygen delivery to the tissues. Inotropic agents have varying pharmacological profiles; drug selection according to the clinical circumstance enables benefits to be maximized while minimizing side effects. Most inotropes act to increase intracellular calcium levels. Adrenoceptor agonists (e.g. epinephrine) achieve this by activating adenylate cyclase and increasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and protein kinase activity, which po...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Defibrillation is the only effective, and therefore life-saving, treatment for ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillators are devices that store and then discharge pre-programmed quantities of electrical energy through the heart to synchronously depolarize myocytes and allow return of sinus rhythm. Energy is supplied from batteries and is stored in a capacitor before being discharged through leads to electrodes and then across the heart either directly or via the chest. The ratio of charge stored to potential difference is known as capacitance and will determine the energy discharged by the defibrillator. Capacitan...

Abstract: Cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected per ventricle per minute and is a measure of cardiac performance. It is the product of the strength of ventricular contraction, which determines how much blood is ejected (stroke volume), and the heart rate. Factors that control the force of contraction include the degree of myocardial stretch or Starling's Law, which is determined by venous return, and also the amount of cytosolic calcium present in muscle cells, which is influenced by sympathetic nerves and circulating catecholamines. Heart rate is also under the influence of the autonomic nervous system and circula...

Abstract: The normal heart is the size of the patient’s closed fist. The venae cavae drain into the right atrium, which bears the fossa ovalis and receives the coronary sinus and the anterior cardiac vein. The atrium empties into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. Both ventricles have trabeculated walls (trabeculae carneae), and from some project the papillary muscles, bearing the chordae tendinae attached to the free borders of the tricuspid valve. The same arrangement is seen on the left side. The right ventricle leads to the pulmonary trunk, guarded by its three valve cusps. Oxygenated blood returns to t...

Abstract: The mediastinum is the area of the thorax that lies between the two pleural sacs. It is further divided by an imaginary line passing from the manubriosternal junction (angle of Louis) in front and the T4/T5 vertebral junction behind into a superior and inferior compartment. The inferior mediastinum contains the heart, within its pericardial sac, together with the descending aorta and lower oesophagus. The contents of the superior mediastinum comprise the retrosternal structures, the remnant of thymus and the great veins. These are made up as follows: the right and left brachiocephalic veins form from the internal...
