UTMB Advanced Pathophysiology 5355 Module 6.1 Cardiovascular With Complete solution Normal function of Nitric Oxide ANS-potent vasodilator, anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic. Normally balanced with endothelin. Normal function of Endothelin ANS-Potent vasoconstrictor that raises blood pressure. Normally balanced with Nitric oxide. cardiomyopathy ANS-disease of the heart muscle, can be primary or secondary Dilated Cardiomyopathy ANS-increase compliance in ventricle, higher volumes but decreased contractility hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ANS-usually inherited, heart muscle enlarges and thickens without obvious cause restrictive cardiomyopathy ANS-ventricles become stiff and rigid but walls of heart do not thicken, ventricles do not relax and fill with normal blood volume Arrhythmogenic RV Cardiomyopathy ANS-rare type, muscle tissue in R ventricle is replaced with fatty/fibrous tissue causing arrhythmias How does smoking contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease? ANS-Nicotine stimulates release of catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) which are potent vasoconstrictors. Increases heart rate and blood pressure, which increase cardiac workload .
