Physiology
This system controls cardiac function
What is the autonomic nervous system?
This term describes the amount of blood ejected with each heart beat.
What is the stroke volume?
Bleeding and dehydration can lead to this.
What is a decrease in preload?
This category of medications inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme.
What are ACE-I?
These receptors regulate heart rate, contractility, conduction speed, and automaticity.
What are Beta 1 receptors?
The blood volume that the heart ejects per minute is called this.
What is the cardiac output?
These 2 factors can lead to an increase in preload?
What is heart failure and renal failure?
The patient is on Lisinopril and complains of a nagging cough and a tight feeling in her throat. Instead of Lisinopril, this category of medication can be prescribed.
What are ARBs?
This method is the most accurate for obtaining a heart rate.
What is the apical pulse?
This is the normal percentage of blood ejected by the heart.
What is >= to 55%?
This is the pressure that the ventricles must work against to pump blood to the general circulation.
What is the system vascular resistance (afterload)?
This medication increases contractility by increasing serum Ca levels.
What is Milrinone?
This pressure identifies whether or not there is sufficient organ perfusion.
What is the mean arterial pressure?
The higher the ventricular blood volume, the stronger the contraction was defined by this person.
Frank Starling
These are 2 factors that can decrease afterload.
What are HF and blood loss?
These 2 physiologic manifestations can decrease cardiac contractility.
What are acidosis and hypoxia?
These receptors mediate vasodilation, bronchodilation, and renin release
What are the Beta 2 receptors?
This describes the effect of a medication that increases contractility.
What is an inotrope?
This system regulates blood pressure by regulating sodium excretion.
What is the renin-angiotensin-activating system?
This medication category decreases contractility and heart rate.
What are beta blockers.
