Afterload is the pressure that the heart must work against to eject blood during systole (ventricular contraction). Afterload is proportional to the average...

individuals, but increased afterload will hinder the ventricles in ejecting blood, causing reduced stroke volume. Increased afterload may be found in aortic...

against LV volume at multiple time points during a single cardiac cycle. Afterload is the mean tension produced by a chamber of the heart in order to contract...

myocardial contractility increases with afterload. It was experimentally determined that increasing afterload caused a proportional linear increase in...

systemic vascular resistance results in an increase in afterload. With HOCM, an increase in afterload will hold the obstruction in a more open configuration...

cardiac cycle. The main factors that affect the end-systolic volume are afterload and the contractility of the heart. End systolic volume can be used clinically...

Disease processes that can cause LVH include any disease that increases the afterload that the heart has to contract against, and some primary diseases of the...

Conduction velocity Preload Afterload Contractility By this model, if myocardial performance changes while preload, afterload, heart rate, and conduction...

myocardial oxygen perfusion and indirectly increases cardiac output through afterload reduction. It consists of a cylindrical polyurethane balloon that sits...

This tension is called afterload. When the resistance is increased particularly due to stenotic valve damage the afterload must necessarily increase...
