autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system). Impaired contractility would cause the stroke volume to change (decrease) which will affect the cardiac output. The heart rate will adjust or increase to maintain a stable blood pressure. People with chronic angina (chest pain likely due to a heart problem) often take a nitroglycerin tablet to relieve their symptoms. How does this relieve their symptoms? In your answer discuss (briefly) oxygen delivery to the heart. (3…
