1. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a common and potentially fatal condition in which the heart is unable to maintain adequate blood circulation. To treat this condition, a synthetic form of given to stimulate vasodilation and help restore adequate tissue perfusion. a) epinephrine may be b) angiotensin c) atrial natriuretic peptide d) renin 2. In combination with diuretics, nitroglycerine is a cheaper and equally effective treatment option for ADHF. Nitroglycerine is converted to nitric oxide (NO) in vascular smooth muscle cells and results in smooth muscle relaxation. Nitroglycerine would cause vasodilation / vasoconstriction and a(n) decrease / increase in blood pressure. For each of the patients below, use up arrow to indicate that BP is up and down arrow for low BP. 1. A patient with hypothyroidism: 2. A person with high levels of aldosterone: 3. A patient with too much of a vasodilator medication (ACE inhibitor): 4. A patient with toxic shock syndrome caused by Staphylococcus aureus: 5. A patient with severe blood loss (hypovolemic shock): 6. A patient with an overdose of a diuretic causing severe dehydration: 7. A patient with abnormally low levels of Angiotensin II: 8. A patient with high levels of atrial natriuretic hormone (ANP): 9. A patient taking too much beta blocker: 10. A patient with Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency): 20-29
