Decreased tissue perfusion ANS: A Preload refers to the amount of blood in the left ventricle at the end of diastole; anincrease in circulating volume would increase the preload of the heart. Afterload refers to resistance; increased pressure would lead to increased resistance, and afterload would increase. A decrease in tissue perfusion would be seen with hypovolemia.
