- pericardium: tough, thick case that acts as a physical barrier for the heart
- endocardium: white sheet of endothelium that lines the heart
- myocardium: "bulk of the heart", consists of cardiac muscle

Pericardium vs. Endocardium vs. Myocardium
,- EKG
- exercise stress testing
- echocardiography
- cardiac MRI/CT

Methods to assess coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion
deficiency of neutrophils (<1000/microL)
- can be caused by leukopenia (decrease in leukocytes)

Neutropenia
Modifiable --> high salt intake, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, low intake of
K, insulin resistance, obstructive sleep apnea
Non-modifiable --> family history, age, race, renal disease

Risk factors for hypertension
total iron binding capacity
- indicates transferrin saturation (transport protein of Fe)
, - high TIBC = Fe deficiency
Give this one a go later!
TIBC
atherosclerosis, CAD, stroke, heart failure
Give this one a go later!
Hypertension is a risk factor for...
1. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
2. Vasopressin (ADH)
3. Epi/Norepi

3 humoral mechanisms to regulate BP
the difference between systolic & diastolic pressure
