Question
Answer
highest resistant in CVS   arterioles  
🗑
largest total cross-sectional and surface area   capillaries  
🗑
veins   under low pressure; high portion of blood  
🗑
arteries   deliver oxygenate blood to tissues; high pressure; stressed volume  
🗑
Systolic pressure   hightest arterial pressure during cardiac cycle; measured after heart contracts and blood ejected into arterial system  
🗑
Diastolic pressure   lowest arterial pressure during a cardiac cycle; measured when Heart is relaxed and blood is returning to the heart via veins  
🗑
Pulse Pressure   determinant of Stroke Volume  
🗑
what can cause increase in PP   aging  
🗑
Pulse pressure calculations   systolic - diastolic  
🗑
arterial pressure is measurement of   Left arterial pressure [PCWP]  
🗑
Ejection fraction measured   Stroke volume / EDV  
🗑
what is normal EF   55%  
🗑
Preload measured by   EDV and RA pressure  
🗑
Afterload measured by   LV = aortic pressure : increase in aortic pressure = Increase in afterload of LV RV = pulmonary artery pressure; increase in pulmonary artery pressure causes increase in afterload in RV  
🗑
what increases preload   venous dilaters  
🗑
what decreases afterload   vasodilators  
🗑
