Terms in this set (103)
cardiac output HR x SV
blood pressure equation CO x SVR
S1 heart sounds; closure mitral and tricuspid
valves
, S2 heart sounds; closure aortic and pulmonic
valves
cardiac output amount of blood pumped each minute (~5 L)
the amount of blood ejected from the heart in one
stroke volume
contraction
the resistance of the vessels to the flow of blood;
peripheral vascular
increased when the vessels constrict, decreased
resistance
when the vessels relax.
preload volume of blood in ventricles at end of diastole
pressure ventricles must exert to eject blood into
afterload
the aorta
orthopnea difficulty breathing when lying down
fatigue that appears suddenly and gets worse with
cardiac fatigue
activity; a sign of heart failure
low blood pressure that occurs upon standing up;
orthostatic hypotension
people above 65 are at risk.
hypertension; increased workload on the heart (hypertrophy),
