44. Compared to a person with normal blood pressure, a person with hypertension would have heart that has to contract:(a) More forcefully(b) less forcefully*(c) with the same amount of force45. In an individual with hypertension, if there were no other change (as in no adjustment was made in previous question), how would this affect the cardiac assessments?(a) Increase CO(d) decrease SV(b) Decrease EDV(e) increase ESV(c) Decrease heart rate

Step 1
This increased resistance requires the heart to contract more forcefully to maintain blood flow. Therefore, compared to a person with normal blood pressure, a person with hypertension would have a heart that has to contract **(a) More forcefully**. Show more…

78. If an individual has hypertension (high blood pressure), how will this affect cardiac output? Select one: A. Cardiac output will decrease due to increased preload B. Cardiac output will not change C. Cardiac output will increase due to increased myocardial contractility D. Cardiac output will decrease due to increased afterload E. Cardiac output will increase because blood is ejected from the heart faster at higher pressure
