1. CO SV x HR
2. Determinants of CO Preload, afterload, & contractility
3. Preload The pressure generated by the blood
volume in the ventricle at the end of
diastole
4. SV The volume of blood ejected with each
heart
beat
5. Afterload The amount of resistance the ventricles
have to overcome when ejecting their
contents
6. Contractility The amt of force produced by the
ventricle during systole
7. Which of the following would A. Blood administration B. Beta blockers
increase preload?
C. CCB D. morphine (blood
administration)
8. To open the aortic valve, the LV must gen- Afterload
erate enough pressure to overcome:
9. What is the significance of increase Decreased diastolic filling time
HR in the pt with CAD?
10. Dusky skin, pale MM, decreased
