Contractility

Strength of contraction
⇧ when preload is un▲ yet ♡ contracts ⇧ forcefully

Vascular resistance

SVR & PVR reflect afterload

Afterload

CO can be restored & myocardial 02 needs ⇓ by ⇓ afterload
Vasodilators can ⇓ afterload
Forces opposing ventricular ejection
mass & density of blood moves
systemic arterial pressure

Preload

Frank-Starling's law: the ⇧ a myocardial fiber is stretched, the during filling, the ⇧ it shortens during systole & ⇧ the contraction force
PAWP-measurement of pulmonary capillary pressure, reflects left ventricular end-diastolic pressure
left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure:Left ventricular preload
Volume within the ventricle @ the end of diastole

Cardiac output & cardiac index

Preload, afterload, & contractility determine SV(& thus CO and BP)
Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR): opposition encountered by the right ventricle
Systemic Vascular resistance: opposition encountered by the left ventricle
Stroke Volume index: measurement of SV adjusted for BSA
Stroke Volume: volume ejected w each beat
Cardiac index: measurement of CO adjusted for body surface area
Cardiac output: volume of blood in liters pumped by the heart in 1 minute
