                                Effects of inadequate perfusion on cell function.

Heart compensatory mechanisms that 'save' organ blood flow during shock is collected in "Heart SAVER":

• Symphatoadrenal system activation
• Atrial natriuretic factor release
• Vasopressin release
• Endogenous digitalis-like factor release
• Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation
