Which is true about Ventricular Systole?
Ventricular pressure falls below that in the aorta and pulmonary artery
Measurement of the total amount of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole
The volume ejected into the aorta with each contraction
The pressure in the ventricles exceeds that in the atria
What is the first heart sound?
Semilunar valves closing
The aorta pumping blood
Your lunch being digested
The closing of the AV valves
Which is true about Ventricular Diastole?
Pressures in the ventricles are exceeding that in the atria
The amount of blood remaining in the ventricles at the end of contraction
Pressures in the ventricles fall below that in the aorta and pulmonary artery
Ventricles stop working briefly
What causes the second heart sound?
Closing of the semilunar valves
Stroke volume being ejected
The heart relaxing
Blood flowing from atria into ventricle
What is stroke volume?
Passive filling from the aorta
Strength of heart contractions
Level of severity of a stroke
End Diastolic Volume is the total amount of blood in the at the .
End Systolic Volume is the amount of blood remaining in the at the .
What is the average percentage of volume ejected with each contraction in stroke volume?
50%
30%
60%
75%
The formula for stroke volume is - .
What is the definition of ejection fraction?
Factors that oppose the ejection of the stroke volume
Increased diastolic blood pressure
Percentage of EDV that the ventricles are able to eject
Adequate period of diastolic time
If the ejection fraction is less than 54% , the patient is considered to be in heart failure.
The formula for ejection fraction is / .
"Preload" is a term used to describe the myocardial wall tension during systole and is produced by arterial resistance.
"Afterload" is a term used to describe the pressure exerted by the end diastolic volume within the ventricles prior to the onset of systole.
Afterload is produced by .
Myocardial oxygen demand is basically how much oxygen the heart needs to function.
If blood pressure and heart rate increase, oxygen demand will increase as well.
Afterload effects oxygen consumption more than preload.
Inotropic effects deal with the of the heart.
Chronotropic effects deal with the of the heart.
Dromotropic effects deal with the of the heart.
