Q

Afterload

and 2 examples

A

force opposing shortening of myocardium during contraction

  • inc arterial pressure would inc afterload
  • aortic stenosis would in afterload

Q

Effect of cell length (EDV)(2)

A

cell length determines overlap of thick and thin filaments

length of relaxed cells is determined by amount of blood in the ventricle (venous return)

Q

the length tension relationship of the heart allows for…

and example

A

equalization of output from left and right sides of the heart
ex:inc output from right side of heart-> inc filling of left ventricle (EDV)-> inc stretch of cardiac muscle fibers, inc force development in left ventricle -> inc left ventricular output
