IV. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

About the Auther > Heart Failure

Stroke volume is a reflection of preload (filling pressure), myocardial contractility, and afterload (arterial impedance; see Fig. 1 in the chapter Exercise and the Heart).
Left ventricular work and myocardial oxygen consump¬tion depend on:
heart rate x blood pressure (rate pressure product)
blood pressure = cardiac output x systemic vascular resistance
