that affect arteriolar resistance. The intrinsic controls include chemical and physical influences. The relative input of a various local metabolites is coordinated to control arterial blood flow; vasodilation results from chemical factors such as decreased oxygen‚ increased carbon dioxide and increased potassium. Another local chemical mediator is histamine‚ which is released during injury or allergic reactions to cause vasodilation. The physical influences include the application of local heat or

Without the atrial contraction‚ cardiac output decreases because of the loss of the atrial kick which‚ according to Ellis (2012)‚ “accounts for 15% to 30% of cardiac output.” This decrease in preload will continue to negatively affect left ventricular
