(increase & decrease)

73
Q

What are the resting conditions of the heart rate?

74
Q

Why does tachycardia lead to reduced CO?

A

-not adequate filling = EDV goes down

75
Q

What is the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart?

A

-preload (heart will pump whatever volume of blood it receives)
-afterload (pressure ventricles must overcome to force open valves and eject blood)

76
Q

What are the preload details?

A

-ventricles beat-to-beat independent by FS mechanism
-ventricles pump same amount over time

77
