Formula for cardiac output
|
Cardiac Output= Heart Rate X Stroke Volume
|
|
Volume coming into ventricles which causes increases in hypervolemia and regurgitation of cardiac values
|

|
|
Resistance from the left ventricle which must overcome to circulate blood, which causes increased in hypertension and vasoconstriction.

|
|
If you palpate a pulstating mass in the abdomin it may indicate
|
AAA
|
|
clubbing of nails may indicate chronic low ____ sat
|
02
|
|
Absence of hair in the lower extremeties indicates:
|
poor circulation
|
|

Propranolol Atenolol Metaprolol |
|
Examples of calicum antagonists are:
|
Verapamil
Diltiazem Nifedipine |
|
These are side effects of what medications:
Dizziness Orthostatic Hypotension GI Distress Cough Headache |
Ace Inhibitors
|
|
This medication decreases peripheral vascular resistance without increase cardiac output, cardiac rate and cardiac contractility
|

Orthostatic Hypotension Tachycardia Vertigo Sexual Dysfunction |
Adrenergic Antagonists Blockers
|
|
