Front 3

Patient receives heart transplant, dies suddenly 5 years later. Why?

Back 3

Graft Vascular Disease (Sudden death due to narrowing of coronary arterties) No pain because heart has no nerve innervation

Front 4

P (Pressure) = Q (Flow) x R (Resistance)

Total peripheral resistance (TPR or R in this case) is what?

Back 4

TPR = Mean Arterial Pressure - Right Atrial Pressure

Front 5

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) = what?

Back 5

MAP = CO x TPR

but if RAP (Right Atrial Pressure is increased)

Then MAP x RAP = CO x TPR

so TPR = (MAP x RAP)/CO
