Systemic vascular resistance

NCLEX Pharmacology Vasopressors and Inotropes Cheat Sheet Vasoactive agents include the following: inotropes are agents that increase myocardial contractility (inotropy) — e.g. adrenaline, dobutamine, isoprenaline, ephedrine vasopressors are agents that cause vasoconstriction leading to increased systemic and/or pulmonary vascular resistance (SVR, PVR) — e.g. noradrenaline, vasopressin, metaraminol, vasopressin, methylene blue inodilators are agents with inotropic effects that also cause…

hypertension causes

Hemodynamics in the Different Types of Shock... loss of intravascular volume = decreased CO and decreased BP... This will increase HR and peripheral constriction (to increase systemic vascular resistance)... PCWP only increased in Cardiogenic shock

Haemo dynamics

During systole, the left ventricle ejects blood through the aortic valve against the pressure of the systemic circulation, also known as systemic vascular resistance (SVR).

Ventricular Septal Defect: Understanding the Most Common CHD 🫀 🫀Ventricular septation is a vital process in embryologic development, shaping the interventricular septum. Yet, abnormalities can lead to Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs), the most prevalent congenital heart defect, constituting 20% of identified lesions in some studies. VSDs vary in location, with perimembranous VSDs being the most common. Their impact on circulation shifts as pulmonary and systemic vascular resistances…
