Cvs Combanium Flashcards
Mechanism of PND
Slow resorption of fluid from interstitium
Elevation of diaphragm
Decreased sympathetic drive of heart
Nocturnal depression of resp centre
Mech of orthopnea
On lying down,fluid returns to vascular compartment
Increased venous return to heart
Increased pulm venous pressure
Pulm interstitial edema
Causes of orthopnea
