rates.2 This essay reviews different causes and types of shock‚ and illustrates the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the condition‚ using shock caused by heart failure as an example. It also touches on the hyperlactaemia and the raised central venous pressure (CVP) associated with shock. 2) Pathophysiology of shock Circulatory shock is defined as the failure of circulatory system to provide adequate perfusion of oxygen to peripheral tissues and organs of the body. It can be caused by a

An increase in heart rate causes an increase in venous return‚ allowing more blood to be pumped; consequently‚ increasing the SV. The sole error in the dynamic portion of the hypothesis was that it was predicted that diastolic blood pressure (DBP)‚ would fall with dynamic exercise. Although the DBP did
