it increases ventricular contractility, which increases SV, which increases Q it increases ventricular contractility, which increases SV, which increases Q it increases HR, which increases Q (cardiac output) it causes constriction of arterioles, which increases TPR it increses VR, which increases EDV, which increases SV, which increases Q
When we change from a supine, or a seated, to a standing position we observe specific cardiovascular adjustments with an initial phase and then a second phase where we adjust back towards normal. If a patient takes a vasodilator (such as a calcium channel blocker, an alpha antagonist, or an angiotensin II receptor blocker), how do you think this would influence their ability to maintain blood pressure after standing up
it would be harder to maintain blood pressure because vasoconstriction in the legs would be less effective

The cardiovascular response to aerobic exercise, like cycling or running, and isometric exercise have some simmilarities and differenes. Which of the following is/are true about differences in the cardiovascular response to aerobic and isometric exercise?
DBP often decreases a little during aerobic exercises due to vasodilation in the active musscles MAP and SBP tend to go even higher during isometric exercise than aerobic exercise; especially when performing large muscle mass exercise DBP usually increases during isometric exercise because the strong muscle contraction mechanically compresses blood vessles, which increases TPR
