Which of the following is an indication of left ventricular afterload?
A) Ejection fraction
B) Systemic vascular resistance
C) Pulmonary vascular resistance
D) Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The systemic vascular resistance is the resistance the left ventricle must contract against to eject blood into the systemic circulation.Ejection fraction is a measurement of contractility.Pulmonary vascular resistance is the resistance the right ventricle must contract against to eject blood into the pulmonary circulation.Left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP)is used to estimate left ventricular preload.
