SV = EDV - ESV
Afterload
Preload
Inotropy
• Preload is related to
ventricular filling just
prior to contraction left-
ventricular end-diastole
volume (LVEDV)
• At the cellular level,
preload is related to the
cardiac fiber length that
occurs at LVEDV

Combined Increase in Inotropy and Preload
Atria respond to preload, afterload, and inotropic interventions similar to the way ventricles do
• Force of atrial contraction increases with increased atrial volume (preload) caused by:
• Increased venous return
• AV valve regurgitation and stenosis
• Sympathetic nerve stimulation (and increased circulating catecholamines) increases atrial
inotropy and therefore atrial force of contraction and ejection
• Vagal stimulation decreases atrial inotropy, unlike ventricles
