    i’m not sure the exact form of the curve, but more hypertension there’s more risk of low cardiac uotput.-
    increasing the blood pressure increases the pressure the heart has to overpower to bomb the blood.-
    there’s a range where the compensatory mecanisms of the heart (frank-satrling and those) can mantain the output, but after they stop working the output start to decrease.-
    hope you got this, i’m not very good with explanations.- :)
