Q

reasons for increased preload on right side

A

rt ventricle cardiomyopathy
sepsis
pulmonary retention
hypovolemia

17
Q

what is hypovolemia

A

decrease in circulating blood in general

18
Q

reason for increased preload on left side

A

cardiac tamponade

19
Q

what is a cardiac tamponade

A

pressure around the heart from fluid(blood)

20
Q

what can increase after-load

A

HTN

21
Q

what can decrease after-load

A

ace-inhibitors
dilation
sepsis
nitroglycerin

22
Q

what is systemic vascular resistance

A

force overcome by left ventricle upon contraction

23
Q

what is the indirect measure of the left ventricular afterload

A

arterial blood pressure

24
Q

what is pulmonary vascular resistance

A

resistance the right ventricle must overcome to eject blood

25
Q

what increases contractility

A

Digoxin

Dobutamine

26
Q

what decreases contractility

A

Beta Blockers
Ischemia
cardiomyopathy (abnormal heart muscle)

27
Q

formula for measuring arterial BP

A

CO x SVR

28
Q

what does Digoxin do

A

improves contractility - needs extra oxygen to pump

29
Q

how much O2 is being used by the muscle is presented as

A

SvO2

30
Q

what increases svr

A

compensatory mechanisms for homeostasis
