Actuality of the theme.
Cardiac insufficiency is one of the frequent reasons for loss of capacity,
disability and death of patients, which suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular
system. Study of their etiology and pathogenesis is necessary for practical activity of
a doctor. Knowledge of reasons and mechanisms of development of the given
pathology will assist to development of clinical thought, choice of rational
approaches to medical treatment of every concrete patient.
The study in the experiment on the animals of cardiac insufficiency allows
exposing the mechanisms of development of these pathological states.
General purpose of the lesson to characterize cardiac insufficiency, to explain
reasons for origin and mechanisms of development of different forms of cardiac
insufficiency; to explain the pathogenetical methods of its treatment.
For this it is necessary to know (the concrete purposes):

system: cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmias; arterial hypertension, arterial
hypotension; arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis.
 To analyze and use present classification of typical disorders of blood circulation
system.
 To analyse changes of main indexes of hemodynamic and cardiodynemic at
cardiac insufficiency (frequency and power of cardiac contractions, minute and
systolic volume of heart; systolic, diastolic and puls pressure of heart, venous
blood pressure).
 To analyse cause-effective relationships, separate changes pathological and
compensative-adaptative, local and systemic changes at the pathogenesis of
insufficiency of systemic blood circulation, cardiac insufficiency, myocardial
infarction, shock states (cardiogenic shock).
 To analyse the mechanisms of clinical manifestations development at cardiac
insufficiency and insufficiency of systemic blood circulation.

Standards of answers on the questions of the primary level of knowledges:
Insufficiency of systemic blood circulation – it is the state of inability of the
cardiovascular system to provide organs and tissues of an organism by the necessary
amount of blood.
Insufficiency of heart - it is the pathological state conditioned by inability of heart to
furnish circulation of organs and tissues in accordance with their necessities.
Classification of cardiac insufficiency according pathogenesis:
1. Cardiac insufficiency as a result of the cardiac overload:
5
1.1 cardiac overload of heart by volume (reasons: heart disease with valvular
insufficiency, hypervolemia);
1.2. cardiac overload of heart by resistance (reasons: heart disease with
valvular stenosis, arterial hypertension);
2. Cardiac insufficiency as a result of the damage of myocardium (reasons:
arrhythmias, myocarditis, myocardiopathys);
3. Cardiac insufficiency as a result of the violation of the coronary blood circulation
(reasons: atherosclerosis, tromboembolism or spasm of coronal vessels);
4. Cardiac insufficiency as a result of the injury of pericardium (acute and chronic
pericarditis, cardiac [pericardial] tamponade);
5. Mixed.
Intracardiac mechanisms of cardiac insufficiency compensation as a result
of cardiac overload:
The heterometric mechanism provides compensation at the cardiac
overload by a volume (reasons: heart disease with valvular insufficiency,
hypervolemia). Its essence consists in the increase of force of the heartbeats in the
case of entrance to the heart of bigger blood volume. A law of Frank-Starling's lies in
the basis of this compensatory mechanism: according to which the longer initial
length of muscular fibre (to 25% from initial), the more force of it contraction. At this
mechanism the length of cardiac hystiocyte increases, so it is named heterometric.
The homeometric mechanism provides compensation at the cardiac
overload by resistance (reasons: heart disease with valvular stenosis, arterial
hypertension). Its essence consists in the increase of force of the heartbeats in case of
the increase of resistance to blood flow. At this mechanism the tension of cardiac
hystiocyte increases, but length of it does not changes, so it is named homeometric.
Hypertrophy of heart - it is the structural changes in a heart, which arise up
at the protracted increase of loading on a heart and provide long-term adaptation.
By F. Meerson two variants of hypertrophy are selected:
Hypertrophy of heart at sportsmen - develops at the gradually growing
loadings; thus all components of heart (balanced hypertrophy) are evenly multiplied
and its functional backlogs are substantially multiplied.
Compensatory hypertrophy of heart:
- hypertrophy due to overloads (develops at the cardiac insufficiency, arterial
hypertension);
- hypertrophy from the myocardium damage (develops at atherosclerosis,
myocardiopathys).
At compensatory hypertrophy a pathogenic factor acts constantly; it is
unbalanced (are increased amount only cardiomyocytes, the amount of vessels and
nerves is not multiplied); quickly results in insufficiency of heart.
Stages of development of compensatory hypertrophy of heart according
F. Meerson:
1. Emergency stage;
2. Stage of completed hypertrophy and relatively proof hyperfunction;
6
3. Stage of gradual exhaustion and progressive cardiosclerosis.
Tonogenic dilatation - this expansion of heart cavities, that is accompanied by the
increase of shock volume of blood. It develops as a result of activating of
heterometric mechanism of compensation.
Myogenic dilatation arises up at the dystrophic changes of myocardium. It is
characterized by expansion of cavities of heart and decline of force of cardiac
contractions. Arises up during decompensation of cardiac insufficiency.
Acute cardiac insufficiency develops quickly, at the surplus loading on a heart,
when the compensatory mechanisms are not corrected with it, e.g., at the
myocardium infarction and its complications (cardiogenic shock, tamponade of
hearts), at arrhythmias (fibrillation of heart, paroxismal tachycardia, complete
atrioventricular blockade), acute pericarditis, myocarditis, embolism of pulmonary
artery.
Chronic (stagnant) cardiac insufficiency develops gradually, mainly as a result
of metabolic violations in myocardium at protracted hyperfunction of heart or
different types of myocardium damage (e.g., arterial hypertension, cardiomyopathies,
and others).

Theme: " PATHOLOGY OF THE EXTERNAL BREATHING"
(Respiratory insufficiency).
Actuality of theme.
The system of the external breathing is one of the most important systems of
life-support of organism, main task of which - providing of tissues by oxygen and
elimination of carbonic acid of an organism. Knowledge of reasons and mechanisms
of the given pathology will assist to development of clinical thought and choice of
rational approaches to medical treatment of the given pathology. The study of
violations of the external breathing will allow exposing the mechanisms of
development and course of shortness of breath.
General purpose of the lesson to learn reasons, mechanisms of development
and basic forms of violations of the external breathing.
For this it is necessary to know (the concrete purposes):
 To determine insufficiency of the external breathing through violation of gas
composition of blood, to know criteria;
 To analyze classifications of insufficiency of the external breathing after reasons
and mechanisms of development;
 To characterize the reasons of origin of insufficiency of the external breathing;
 To explain reasons and mechanisms of development of restrictive and obstructive
violations of alveolar ventilation;
 To analyze cause-effective intercommunications, to be here able to separate the
changes pathological and adaptive-compensate in pathogenesis of insufficiency of
breathing;
For realization of purposes of lesson it is necessary to have the base
knowledges-skills.
1.
Regulation of breathing (Normal Physiology Department) .
2.
Notion about pulmonary volumes (Normal Physiology Department).
Checking of primary level of knowledges.
Give the answer on following questions.
1. What are the main mechanisms of respiratory insufficiency development?
2. Main reasons for alveolar ventilation disorders.
3. What is in the base of diffusive ability of the lungs disorders?
4. Main reasons for pulmonary perfusion violations.
5. Classification of respiratory insufficiency according to Votchal.
6. Classification of respiratory insufficiency according to pathogenesis.
7. Main indexes of respiratory insufficiency.
Standarts of answers on the questions of primary level of knowledges:
58
1. The basic mechanisms of development of insufficiency of breathing consist in
violation as actually processes of ventilation, diffusions, perfusion, and so
quantitative correlation of them.
2. Alveolar ventilation consists in the regular changing of alveolar gases in
accordance with the necessities of organism. Every minute in alveolar space at a man
4,5-5 1 of air gets in a state of rest. In this process take part central nervous system
(respiratory center of cerebrum, motoneurons of spinal cord), peripheral nerves
(motor and sensory nerve), upper airways, thorax and lungs. Disorder of function an
one of the transferred links can entail violation of alveolar ventilation.
The reasons of narrowing of upper airways or even complete closing of them
can be:
1) Foreign bodies in the upper airways;
2) Thickening of walls of respiratory tracts (inflammatory edema of mucus
membranes of nose, larynges, tracheas or tumor in these places);
3) Spasm of muscles of larynx (laryngospasm);
Compression of respiratory tracts from outside (development of tumor in tissues
which surround respiratory tracts, retropharyngeal abscess, increase of surrounding
organs, e.g., thyroid gland and others)
3. Diffusive ability of lungs depends mainly on the thickness of alveolar and capilary
membrane, and also from the degree of its permeability for gases. In addition, total
area of diffusion matters for normal diffusion. The change of one of these factors can
results respiratory insufficiency.
4. Reductions of perfusion of lungs. Reasons:
1)violation of contractive ability of right ventricle (myocardium infarction,
myocarditis, cardiosclerosis, exudative pericarditis and others);
2)violation of contractive ability of left ventricle, which causes development of
pulmonary edema;
3)inborn and acquired heart-diseases (stenosis or atresia of the pulmonary trunk,
valvular stenosis);
4)vascular insufficiency (shock, collapse):
5)embolism of pulmonary artery.
5. Classification of insufficiency of the external breathing according
VOTCHAL:
1. Centrogenic:
 at the violation of work of the respiratory center (hemorrhage, tumor,
depression of CNS at shock);
 depression of central regulation of breathing as a result of poisoning by
narcotic drugs, barbiturates.
2. Nervous-muscular: violation of activity of respiratory muscles at the
damage
of
spinal cord (trauma, poliomyelitis).
59
3. Thoraco-diaphragmal violation of biomechanics of breathing is related to
pathology of thorax (fractures of ribs, kyphoscoliosis); high standing of diaphragm
(paresis of stomach, intestine, ascitis, obesity, pregnancy); hemothorax,
pneumothorax.
4. Broncho-pulmonary - pathological processes in lungs and respiratory tracts:
a) obstructive form (bronchospasm, compression by tumor, edema of
bronchs);
b) restrictive form- at reduction of respiratory surface of alveoli (surfactant
insufficiency; pneumonia, pneumosclerosis, emphysema, resection of lungs);
c) diffusive form at the thickening of alveolar-capillary membrane (black-lung
disease, fibrosis of lungs).
6. Classification of respiratory insufficiency according to pathogenesis
Alveolar ventilation disorders
Alveolar diffusion disorders
а) primary-dyskinetic
а) diffusive-restrictive
(violation of biomechanic of breathing) [decrease of summary internal surface
of alveolis – pneumonia, edema of
b) obstructive
lungs, atelectasis, emphisema]
(increase of resistance of the
respiratory tract to the air passage)
b) diffusive-pneumonose
(thickening
of
alveoli-capilary
c) ventilative-restrictive
membrane)
(decrease of general volume of lungs –
pneumonia, edema of lungs)
7. The indexes of respiratory insufficiency are divided into:
1. direct - change of gas composition of blood:
- hypoxemia and hypercapnia
2. indirect - change of lungs volumes (RV, RVinsp., RVex., VLV, MVL)

stricture of the airways and effect of the chemical irritants; to show the changes
of breathing in case of experimental pneumothorax and asphyxia.
Description of experiment:The work is of demonstration type with the assistance of
the students.
The rabit is tied to the bench. The graphic recording of the initial respiration
is performed on the tape measure of the kimograph with the help of the cuff applied
to the Thoracic cavity and connected by means of a rubber tube with a capcule of
Mareae.
EXPERIMENT 2. Cause a full asphyxia claming the trachea. To study the
development of the stages of asphyxia averting the animal from death.
