relaxation
- AV valve opens
- isovolumetric contraction
- aortic valve closes
- filling
- AV valve closes
- aortic valve opens: 1. aortic valve closes
2. Isovolumetric relaxation

4. filling
5. AV valve closes
6. isovolumetric contraction
7. aortic valve opens
2. Select all of the statements that are true regarding the
ventricular pressure volume relationship.
- Since the heart is compliant, increased preload can result in
increased stroke volume.
- Decreased compliance implies that for the same volume,
pressure in higher. - Afterload is set by the end-diastolic volume
and determines the point when the atrial-ventricular valve
opens.
- Sympathetic stimulation increases contractility and stroke
volume.
