Definition of sociopolitical. : of, relating to, or involving a combination of social and political factors.
Beta-1 receptors are found in the heart, and when stimulated will increase herat rate and cardiac contractility. Beta-2 receptors are found on vascular smooth muscle located in the heart and skeletal muscle, and when they are activated, they dilate and decrease SVR.
elevated SVR may also impair cardiac output because it increases afterload. Often in acute cardiogenic shock, the SVR is secondarily elevated (part of the baroreceptor response to shock) to maintain vascular perfusion pressure.
