Ventricular function can be analyzed from measures of the ejecting phase of contraction (e.g. velocity and extent of wall shortening) in terms of the appropriateness of the matching between afterload and the level of inotropic state, as modulated by the preload. In the normal heart, under contr...
4. Inadequate oxygen supply to the myocardium is responsible for the pain accompanying angina. Increased preload would be responsible for right-sided heart failure. Decreased afterload causes increased cardiac output. Coronary artery spasm is responsible for variant angina. 4. The 12-lead ECG will in...
PRELOAD, AFTERLOAD, AND CARDIAC OUTPUT IN INFANT LAMBS DURING UNILATERAL POSITIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE (PEEP).An abstract is unavailable. This article is available as a PDF only.doi:10.1097/00003246-198203000-00020Fuhrman, Bradley P.Everitt, John...
with a concomitant increase in afterload. This increased afterload is best treated with pulmonary vasodilation using agents such asprostaglandin,milrinone, or NO. Maintaining coronary perfusion of the hypertensiveright ventricleis essential to preserving its function. Thus, adequatepreloadand inotropic...

Data were measured at a constant heart rate (140 beats/min) to render CO proportional to stroke dimension.At a matched increase in afterload (effective arterial elastance), L-NMMA increased preload (end-diastolic dimension) to a lesser degree (3.8%+/-1.5%, p < .05) than phenylephrine (...
