Pressure-Volume relationship - Cardiovascular Phys. Flashcards
What 4 things affect cardiac output?
- Heart rate
- Contractility
- Preload
- Afterload
What is the equation for cardiac output?
SV X HR
What is stroke volume?
Volume of blood ejected by ventricle with each beat
What is the equation for stroke volume?
EDV - ESV
end diastolic volume - end systolic volume
What is ejection fraction?
Fraction of EDV ejected in each stroke volume
What is cardiac output?
Total volume of blood ejected by ventricle per minute
Normal value for SV?
70 mL
Normal value for ejection fraction?
55%
Normal value for cardiac output?
5 L
What is preload?
Amount of blood ready to be pumped out – EDV
At steady state, what should cardiac output be equal to?
Venous return
What is afterload?
Force opposing contraction during ejection
– pressure required to eject blood
EDPVR
End diastolic pressure volume relationship
ESPVR
End systolic pressure volume relationship
For EDPVR, increases in volume ____ increase pressure
Do not greatly
