45
Q

Slower compensatory response for MI

47
Q

48
Q

Compensatory responses:

- increased afterload caused by increase SNS activity
Overall, increases myocardial workload

A

Congestive heart failure

49
Q

54
Q

55
Q
  • increase myocardial workload
  • increase preload
  • increase afterload
  • dilated heart
A

56
Q

Systolic CHF treatment

A
  • increase contraction with (+) inotropes
  • decrease workload with beta blockers
  • decrease preload with diuretics (decrease BV)
  • decrease afterload with vasodilators (ARBs, Renin inhibitors, ACE inhibitors)
57
