The following factors increase the cardiac output except______________?
Correct answer: D. After load
- A. Preload
- B. Myocardial contractility
- C. Heart rate
- D. After load
Explanation
Increased preload, heart rate within physiological limits, and contractility generally increase cardiac output. Increased afterload makes ventricular ejection more difficult and tends to reduce cardiac output.
