Decreased cardiac o... utput c. Increased blood pressure d. Absent peripheral pulses ANS: B The myocardium is the layer responsible for the contractile force of the heart. Damage to this layer can result in decreased cardiac output. This most likely would result in decreased blood pressure and strength of peripheral pulses.
