Explanation / Answer

Question c

Answer is Beta- 1 Agonist

The drug produces a positive ionotropic effect that increases stroke volume and decreases the end diastolic volume.

Question d

Answer is Afterload

The more increases in afterload are required to increase the left ventricular pressure to close the aortic valve that results in the increased height of the pressure-volume loop.

Question 5

a) Answer is  D

Here the pressure in the left ventricle falls below the arterial pressure leads to the mitral valve open. also leads to fill ventricles and increases left ventricular volume.

b) Answer is 4 L /min

Cardiac output = Heart rate × Stroke volume

Here the heart rate is 50 beats/min

the stroke volume = End-diastolic volume (EDV) - End-systolic volume(ESV)

= 120 - 40

= 80 ml

So the cardiac output = 50 × 80

= 4000 ml / min

Cardiac output = 4 L/min
