If cardiac contractility and or preload reserves are exhausted during PEMI, the possibility of having a flow-mediated blood pressure increase is precluded. The hemodynamic consequence is that the target blood pressure is reached by recruiting the reserve in cardiac afterload (i.e. systemic vascular resistance increase). In this case, systemic vascular elevation becomes the main mechanism through which cardiovascular reflexes operate to adjust hemodynamics.
