Do you know what to do in an emergency? This 2-minute video demonstrates Hands-Only CPR and using an AED.
There are two simple steps that can save a life:
1. Call 9-1-1, ask someone to get an AED, if available.
2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

Nitrates and pressure-volume loops - these patients were given a 200mcg IV bolus. Group 1 are healthy: they had a predominant preload reduction and stroke volume fell. Group 2 have HFrEF: they had a predominant afterload reduction and stroke volume rose.
