Question Answer

Total amount of blood volume in the venous

64%
system is?

Venous return is the amount of blood volume

Right heart.
returning to the?

CI is CO based on? Actual body size.

The amount of blood in the ventricle

End systolic pressure is?
after ejection.

The amount of blood in the ventricle

End diastolic pressure is?
after filling.

Indexed measurements allow the normals to be

standardized therefore account for the patients True.

PAP looks at? lungs.

PCWP looks at? Left heart.

Right atrial pressure or fluid levels.

CVP looks at?
Norm 2-6 torr.

Systemic Artery Blood Pressure (SABP)looks at? Blood pressure thoughout the body.

Amount of blood ejected with each

Ventricular stroke work.
beat.

CVP norm? 2-6torr.

Cardiac Output QT norm? 4-8 L/M

Cardiac Index (CI) 2.5-4.5

The stretch on the ventricle muscle

Preload
fibers before contraction.

The resistance of external factors

Afterload
that oppose ventricular contraction.

Stroke volume is determined by? Preload, afterload, and contractility.

Preload is created by? End diastolic volume.

Pressures in the atrium will be the

If there is no narrowing or dysfunction of the
same as in the ventricles at the end
valve...
of diastole.

Atrial contraction is... 30% of cardiac output.

Afterloads two opposing factors? Tension and impedance.

Intrathoracic become more negative.(vacume Increases filling and increases

effect) resistance to emptying of ventricles.

Increase in Ca causes? spastic heart.

Decrease in K+ and Na causes? Atrial fibrillation.
