Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cardiac output is decreased as a result of the venous dilation caused by alpha-adrenergic antagonists. Alpha-adrenergic antagonists block alpha₁ receptors on both arterioles and veins. When alpha₁ receptors on arterioles are blocked by alpha-adrenergic antagonists, a direct effect on arterial pressure occurs. When alpha₁ receptors on veins are blocked by alpha-adrenergic antagonists, an indirect effect on arterial pressure occurs.
