Cardiovascular-Renal Pharmacology 2 Flashcards
Hydraulic equation of Hypertension
BP=CO x PVR
Volume of blood pumped out by the VENTRICLE PER MINUTE
Cardiac output
Volume of blood pumped out by the VENTRICLE PER CONTRACTION/BEAT
(ml/beat)
Stroke volume
It is the heart conductivity
Heart rate
Determinants of stroke volume
Heart rate
+ Chronotrope increase HR, SV, CO, BP
Strength or force of contraction
Inotropy
Determinants of stroke volume
Inotropy
+ Inotrope increase SV, CO, BP
Volume of blood in the ventricles PRIOR TO CONTRACTION
Preload/ End diastolic volume
Carries blood towards the heart
Veins
Venoconstriction
Venous capacitance is
Blood is
Preload
Reduced
Mobilized
Increase
Venodilation
Venous capacitance is
Blood is
Preload
Increased
De-mobilized
Decrease
Fluid content of blood
Blood volume
Increase fluid content=
Increase preload (Blood is more bulky)
Increase Blood Volume=
Increase preload - stroke volume
Decrease venous capacitance=
Decrease ability of vein to contain blood
Peripheral vascular resistance is also known as
Total vascular resistance
Systemic vascular resistance
Afterload
Pressure required for the blood to be ejected
Peripheral vascular resistance
Resistance ventricles must overcome to circulate blood
Peripheral vascular resistance
Increase afterload
Increase BP
More harder for ventricles to pump blood
Arterioconstriction
Decrease afterload
Decrease BP
Arteriodilation
A drug that is both vaso and arteriodilator
Sodium nitroprusside
A drug that is arteriodilator
Amlodipine
