Results from decreased Cardiac Output, by two mechanisms: ▪ Decreased CO ------ impaired venous return higher capillary hydrostatic pressure ▪ Decreased CO ------ decreased renal perfusion activate renin angiotensin system RAS aldosterone causes higher Na+ and fluid retention. ...........................................CONTINUED..........................................
