negative inotropic changes: an effect that causes a decrease in the strength or force of the heart muscle's contraction
contractility changes that are pathologic would be ______
-Blockage to right or left coronary arteries suchas plaque results in decreased contractility
how does ischemia affect contractility
-Increased preload = increased blood volume, = fluid volume overload and increase in workload of heart
DECREASED=decreased BV = fluid vol deficit DECREASING CO & BP
how does preload affect CO
makes it difficult for ventricles to eject blood into receiving arteries
how does increased afterload affect stroke volume
lung disorders such as chronic bronchitis cause pulmonary artery vasoconstrinction, which INCREASES pulmonary vascular resistance
how does increased afterload affect the RIGHT VENTRICLE
atheroscelrosis of aorta & systemic arteries; peripheral arterial vasoconstrinction: HTN leads to increase of SYSTEMIC VASCULAR RESISTANCE
how does INCREASED afterload affect the left ventricle
-Anaphylaxis triggers overrelease of inflamm mediators
-Blood vessels overdilate
-Blood pools in periphery
-Decreases BP leading to shock and septic shock
potential chain of events of decreased afterload
