Document Summary

Stroke volume = difference b/c edv (filling) and esv (left over in heart) Upright position increase in stroke volume b/c there is a decrease in esv: greater hydrostatic pressure to pump blood back to heart = less blood to heart = edv lower. Several other factors affecting q: resistance to blood flow afterload or the load against which the heart has to work. Afterload: the pressure that the lv must generate to eject blood. As afterload (diastolic pressure) increases, q decreases (given that heart continues to generate the same pressure). After load- related to resistance of blood flow. Greater resistance = heart has to work harder (more forceful for the same amount of blood to be ejected) thus greater diastolic pressure (filling) Same during contraction (systolicly) and relaxing (diasticoly) Heart generates he same pressure but afterload increaceases = cardiac output is lower; less blood flow. Means the heart need to produce more cardiac pressure.
