This video discusses cardiac output, stroke volume and heart rate as well as preload, (Frank Starling Law) contractility, and afterload. It further covers how certain cardiac medications influence these parameters and are used in the treatment of coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, and heart failure. Medications include Nitroglycerin (NTG), Morphine, Aspirin and other antiplatelet agents, ACE inhibitors, Digoxin, and Beta Blockers.
For a more detailed discussion of the mentioned cardiac medications, RAAS, BNP and fluid volume regulation, please refer to other videos on my channel Nursing School Explained.
