Dec 6 - Cardiovascular Drug

Question 1

Controlled by ANS

Answer 1

Heart Rate

Question 2

determined by myocardial contractility, cardiac afterload, and cardiac preload

Answer 2

Stroke Volume

Question 3

amount of tension or stretch applied to a muscle before contraction = force of venous return

Answer 3

Preload

Question 4

load against which a muscle exerts its force = arterial pressure that the left ventricle overcomes to eject blood

Answer 4

afterload

Question 5

Defined as persistent systolic pressure of 140 mmHg and/or a diastolic pressure of greater than 90 mmHg
Major risk for CAD, CVD and death

Answer 5

Hypertension

Question 6

Determine by the product of cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance

Answer 6

blood pressure

Question 7

amount f blood ejected from the left ventricle and measured in lpm

Answer 7

Cardiac output

Question 8

Resistance to blood flow that is determined by the diameter of the blood vessels and vascular musculature

Answer 8

Systemic Vascular resistance

Question 9

reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality

Answer 9

goal of anti-hypersensitive theraphy

Question 10

drugs that accelerate the rate of urine formation that results to the removal of sodium and water from the body

Answer 10
