hypovolemic shock and pulse pressure
in hypovolemic shock, pulse pressure narrows because of a decrease in systolic BP and an increase in diastolic BP
hypovolemic shock> decreased preload> decreased cardiac output> decreased systolic BP (i get this part)
hypovolemic shock> sympathetic reflex> increased total peripheral resistance> increased diastolic blood pressure (i don't get the bolded part)
why does Diastolic BP increase?
is it because increased TPR> increased afterload> more blood remains in left...
