What else can I help you with?
What decreases cardiac output without change in heart rate PAWP or SVR Is it preload afterload or contractility?
A change in cardiac output without any change in the heart rate, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP = equated to preload) or systemic vascular resistance (SVR = afterload) would have to be due to a change in the contractility of the heart. Cardiac output (CO) is roughly equal to stroke volume x heart rate. Stroke volume is related to preload, contractility, and afterload. As you can see, the only variables you have not controlled for is cardiac contractility.
Does exercise Change in cardiac output or in peripheral resistance?
Both, peripheral resistance decreases and cardiac output increases.
What is the effect of cardiovascular excerise on cardiac output?
Cardiac output is the total volume of blood that is pumped by the heart per minute. When you exercise, there is a greater demand for oxygen, which is carried in your blood, thus your cardiac output increases.
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.
What causes decreased afterload?
Decreased afterload occurs when the resistance the heart must overcome to eject blood is reduced. This can be caused by factors such as vasodilation, which decreases systemic vascular resistance, or conditions like sepsis that lead to widespread blood vessel dilation. Additionally, medications such as ACE inhibitors or nitrates can also lower afterload by relaxing blood vessels. Ultimately, decreased afterload facilitates easier ventricular ejection, improving cardiac output.
How does a beta blocker help tachycardia?
Reduces the work load and increases cardiac output
Why do athletes have a higher cardiac output?
regular aerobic exercise strengthens heart muscles which increases stroke volume (the volume of blood ejected with each contraction). since cardiac output = stroke volume * heart rate, this ultimately increases cardiac output.
Compensatory mechanisms to maintain normal cardiac output?
Cardiac output (CO) is determined by the heart rate (HR) and the volume of blood pumped by each beat (stroke volume - SV). Mathematically, cardiac output can be represented by the equation: CO = HR x SV As such, if total cardiac output falls as a result of decreased stroke volume, the heart rate can increase to keep the total cardiac output normal, to a certain extent. Stroke volume is more complicated; it is determined by many different factors, including preload, afterload, competence of the atrioventricular valves, ventricular cavity size, and the strength of the squeeze of the cardiac muscle, amongst others. Any change in one of these factors requires a compensation in one or more of the others to maintain cardiac output.
What reduces cardiac afterload?
vasodilation, anemia, cirrhosis, shock states (results in massive vasodilation)
When does the intra- aortic balloon pump inflate?
The intra-aortic balloon pump inflates during diastole to increase coronary artery perfusion and cardiac output, and deflates during systole to reduce afterload on the heart.
Amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 min?
cardiac output :)
