Correct answer: B. After load
- A. Preload
- B. After load
- C. Heart rate
- D. Myocardial contractility
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.
