End-Systolic Volume: Key Factor In Heart Function
The volume of blood remaining in a ventricle following contraction, known as end-systolic volume, is a crucial determinant of cardiac output and overall heart function. It is influenced by multiple factors, including the ventricle’s contractility, preload (initial ventricular filling volume), and afterload (the pressure against which the ventricle pumps). Overview of left ventricular function and … Read more
