Across
  1. 1. II Key molecule in RAAS that increases blood pressure and stimulates aldosterone release.
  2. 2. Another name for antidiuretic hormone, responsible for water retention.
  3. 7. System activated in response to low cardiac output, leading to fluid retention and vasoconstriction.
  4. 8. Retention Result of neuroendocrine activation, leading to edema and congestion.
  5. 9. Necrosis Factor Alpha Inflammatory cytokine involved in the progression of heart failure.
  6. 10. Hormone responsible for increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.
  7. 11. Increase in myocardial muscle mass in response to neuroendocrine activation.
  8. 13. Sensors that detect blood pressure changes and trigger neuroendocrine responses.
  9. 14. Inflammatory molecules contributing to the progression of heart failure.
Down
  1. 1. Hormone that increases sodium retention and potassium excretion in the kidneys.
  2. 3. Nervous System Activated during heart failure, leading to increased heart rate and vasoconstriction.
  3. 4. Peptides Counter-regulatory hormones that promote vasodilation and sodium excretion.
  4. 5. Narrowing of blood vessels in response to neuroendocrine activation.
  5. 6. Receptors Receptors involved in sympathetic activation, increasing heart rate and contractility.
  6. 12. Potent vasoconstrictor released in heart failure, contributing to vascular resistance.
