CO = SV x HR. Stroke volume depends on 3 factors preload, afterload and contractility. Which factor is mainly dependent on the amount of venous blood returned to the heart? a) Afterload b) Preload c) Contractility : B A client is diagnosed with increased systemic vascular resistance. What will be the effect on the heart? a) Left atrium will be required to pump harder b) Right atrium chamber will become enlarged c) Left ventricle will be required to pump harder d) Right ventricle wil...
