what is pathological change in cardiovascular and what is not   atherosclerosis is pathological, arteriolsclerosis is not.  
🗑
what causes decreased resting heart rate   increase vagal tone and less sensative to adrenergic resting rate  
🗑
SA node fibrosis causes   dysrythmia,  
🗑

in an oldie to increases Cardiac output what makes this happen   increase in end diastolic volume and not so much for heart rate  
🗑
more prone to what if sudden increase in intravascular volume   more prone to chf
