TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Cardiac Output and the Pressure-Volume Relationship A1 - Millado, Kristen A1 - Chi, Margaret A1 - Elmoselhi, Adel A2 - Elmoselhi, Adel Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Cardiology: An Integrated Approach AB - Learning ObjectivesBy the end of this chapter the student will be able to:Explain the main factors that regulate cardiac output, heart rate, and stroke volume including the autonomic nervous system.Describe the impact of preload, afterload, and contractility on cardiac output.Explain the various methods used for measuring cardiac output.Integrate the myocardial structure with the contraction of the heart.Explain the coupling of electrical excitation with the contraction of the heart.Describe the regulation of [Ca2+]i and its impact on contractility.Describe the effects of the autonomic nervous system on contractility.Identify the importance of the Frank-Starling relationship on cardiac output.Describe the relationship between cardiac and vascular curves and their coupling.Explain pressure and volume in the heart during the cardiac cycle through a ventricular pressure-volume loop.Describe how preload, afterload, and contractility affect the pressure-volume loop.
