Poisoning: peripheral vasodilators - what does this mean
Poisoning by peripheral vasodilators occurs when a person is exposed to a large amount of a drug that causes widening of the peripheral blood vessels, leading to a drop in blood pressure and an increase in the heart rate. this can lead to symptoms such as lightheadedness, nausea, and dizziness.
What happens during the disease - poisoning: peripheral vasodilators
Poisoning by peripheral vasodilators is caused by the direct action of the vasodilator on the smooth muscle cells of the peripheral arteries, leading to their relaxation and a subsequent decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. this leads to a decrease in the systemic arterial pressure, which can cause hypotension, syncope, and even shock. the decrease in peripheral resistance can also lead to an increased blood flow to the organs, leading to congestion and edema. in severe cases, this can cause organ failure and death.
