Which of the following would be greater? A)the end-diastolic volume when the heart rate is 150 beats/minute B)the end-diastolic volume when the heart rate is 60 beats/minute

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The end-diastolic volume (EDV) is greater when the heart rate is 60 beats/minute compared to when the heart rate is 150 beats/minute. This is because a slower heart rate allows more time for the ventricles to fill with blood before they contract, leading to a higher EDV. At a higher heart rate, there is less time for ventricular filling, resulting in a lower EDV.
