Cardiac functions and energetics
3 important questions on Cardiac functions and energetics
How is the stiffness calculated (S)?
S = dF/dL
F = force
L = length
F = force
L = length
In the muscle we talk about force-length relationship, but in the heart this is something else, what?
Pressure-volume relationship
What reduces cardiac output (stroke volume)?
Reduced preload
Increased afterload
Reduced inotropy
Reduced lusitropy![]()
Increased afterload
Reduced inotropy
Reduced lusitropy
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
