The term afterload is defined as
volume of blood in the ventricles
volume of blood in the atria during diastole
resistance to blood flow out of the ventricle during systole
pressure of left ventricle during diastole
Cardiac output is affected by
age/ gender/ body size
oxygen demand of body
viscosity of blood
Which of the following causes an increase in cardiac output?
Increase in contractility and decreased in preload
increase in afterload
increase in both contractility and preload
increased in preload and decrease in contractility
Calculate the Cardiac output
SV= 70 ml/beat
HR = 75 beats/min
5 L/min
5.25 L/min
5.5 L/min
5.35 L/min
Conditions that reduce cardiac output include
eating
heart disease
standing from lying position
adrenaline
Where does the blood flow due to gravity?
upper extremities to superior vena cava
upper extremities to inferior vena cava
upper extremities to pulmonary artery
upper extremities to pulmonary vein
The most important force in venous flow is
cardiac suction
the pressure generated by the heart.
the skeletal muscle pump.
the thoracic (respiratory) pump.
one way flow due to valves.
If heart rate increases to 180 beats/min (which is very fast) from the original 70 beats/min and stroke volume remains 70mL/beat the cardiac output increases from 4.9L/min to
12,600 mL/minute
12.6 L/min
13 mL/sec
13 mL/hr
Calculate the CO with the following:
HR = 120 bpm
SV = 140 mL/beats
16,800 mL/min
16,800 L/sec
16,800 mL/hr
16,800 L/day
