◉Equation for SV. Answer: = EDV-ESV
◉Normal value for SV. Answer: 70-110 mL
◉Define ejection fraction(EF). Answer: precentage of blood being
ejected from the LV duting systole
◉Equation for EF. Answer: =SV/EDV*100
◉Normal value for EF. Answer: greater than 50% up to 75 %
◉Define cardiac output (CO). Answer: amount of blood pumped out
by each ventricle in one minute
◉Equation for CO. Answer: HR x SV
, ◉Normal Value of CO. Answer: 4-8 liters per minute
◉Define Fractional Shortening (FS). Answer: the precentage of
change between end diastolic internal dimension and end systolic
internal dimension
◉Equation for FS. Answer: LVIDd-LVIDs/LVIDd*100
◉Normal value for FS. Answer: 30-50 % about half the EF
◉Frank-Starling Law. Answer: the greater the stretch, the stronger is
the heart's contraction.
◉Preload. Answer: load or volume exerted on the ventricle at the
end of diastole
◉Afterload. Answer: the resistance against which the heart must
pump
◉what increases preload ?. Answer: -mitral regurgitation
-tricupsid " "
-pulmonic ""
-Ventricular and atrial septal defects
