Q

Cardiac fxn curve increases along the same line and venous return fxn curve shifts right, cause?

A

The CO has increased due to increased venous return, but the cardiac fxn has not changed. The increased cardiac output is due to Frank-Starling not increased contractility

Q

Cardiac fxn curve moves up or down along the same line, what does it mean?

A

Up along the same line = arteriolar dilation (decrease preload-Increase CO)
Down along same line= arteriolar constriction (increase preload-decrease CO)
