Study Notes
Physiological Compensation
- Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is decreased during physiological compensation
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is increased during physiological compensation
- Aldosterone is increased during physiological compensation
- Erythropoietin is increased during physiological compensation
Atrial Baroreceptor
- Site: Right atrium
- Stimulus: Increase in blood pressure in the right atrium
- Afferent: Vagus nerve
- Physiological effects: Decreased heart rate and decreased blood pressure
Kaposi Sarcoma
- Most common malignancy associated with AIDS patients
- Painful vascular tumor with abundant smooth muscles
- Expected to develop in a patient with a history of AIDS
Myxoma
- Most common tumor of the heart
Amlodipine
- Should be added to beta-blockers to treat high blood pressure
