Inotropes are medications that alter the force or energy of cardiac muscle contractions. Positive inotropes, such as dopamine and dobutamine, increase cardiac output by enhancing myocardial contractility, which can be beneficial in conditions like heart failure. Conversely, negative inotropes decrease contractility, potentially reducing cardiac output. The choice of inotrope depends on the clinical scenario and the underlying cardiac function.

How does nitroprusside affect cardiac output?
Sodium nitroprusside is used in emergency to reduce the very high blood pressure. The drug dilates the arterial as well as venous system. So you get tachycardia and cardiac out put increases probably.
What happens if a person does not get a pacemaker who needs it?
Cardiac arrythmias.. Sometimes life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Inneficient cardiac out put and death.
How does positive pressure ventilation affect cardiac output?
It increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases venous return to the heart and causes a decrease in cardiac output.
How does positive-pressure ventilation affect cardiac output?
It increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases venous return to the heart and causes a decrease in cardiac output.
How does tachycardia affect stroke volume and cardiac output?
Lowers stroke volume
Can A collapsed lung cause cardiac arrest?
If not treated your blood pressure will lower, Which will put you in risk of Cardiac Arrest. Short Answer: It is possible.
How would a decrease in blood volume affect both stroke volume and cardiac output?
It's decreased ... unless the rate falls, which is the normal cardiac response.
How does each type muscle fiber affect muscle strength and endurance?
Cardiac (heart)
What non-preventable disease affect the circulatory system?
Congestive cardiac failure affect your circulatory system. It comes with advanced age.
What disease would effect the cardiac muscle?
Many diseases and conditions affect the cardiac muscle. Conditions that directly affect the cardiac muscle include cardiomyopathies, chaga's disease, ischemia, septic shock, and others. Diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, sarcoid, amyloidosis, and other entities may influence the cardiac muscle indirectly.This question is really too broad to answer effectively and efficiently. Perhaps you had something specific in mind?
Does a cardiac balloon placement affect diastolic augmentation?
Yes, cardiac balloon placement can affect diastolic augmentation. By increasing the volume of the heart's chambers during diastole, a balloon can enhance ventricular filling and improve diastolic pressure. This augmentation can lead to better coronary perfusion and overall cardiac function, particularly in patients with diastolic dysfunction. However, the specific effects can vary depending on individual patient factors and the underlying cardiac condition.
Does cardiac output affect urine output?
Certainly. Decrease cardiac output would mean a decreased in blood flow to the kidneys, which would lead to reduced filtration, therefore urine output.
