High blood pressure

> 140/90

increased CO maybe early feature then stimulates remodling so CO is normal but resistance is higher than normal

like a tutor

Answer 5

state of CO that is insufficient to meet metabolic demands

Question 6

heart failure causes

Answer 6

Decreases contractility
-myocardia disease
-cardio toxic
-pressure overload (after load)
-volume overload (pre load)
ventricular filling restriction
-ventricle stiffness

Question 7

counter heart failure

Answer 7

-Kidney increases Blood volume from low perfusion
