Preload
Load against which a muscle exerts its force
After Load
What is the normal blood pressure
The systolic is Less than 120 and the diastolic is less then 80
Amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle and measured in Lpm
Cardiac Output
Resistance to blood flow that is determined by the diameter of the blood vessels and vascular musculature
Systemic vascular resistance
What therapy need to reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality
Antihypertensive Therapy
Drugs that accelerate the rate of urine formation that results to the removal of sodium and water from the body
Diuretics
