(Created page with "== Physiology repetition == These notes assume you know most of the cardiac physiology from physiology. For repetition: Preload = the extent to which the myocardium is stretched at the end of diastole, right before systole. Preload depends on the end-diastolic volume (EDV), which mostly depends on venous return to the heart. Afterload = the force that the ventricles must eject blood against during systole. Afterload depends mostly on the pressure in the aorta, measured...") |
