Physiology Cardiac Output 57c6aa45

If the ejection fraction increases, there will be a decrease in

A
Cardiac output
B
End-systolic volume
C
Hea rate
D
Pulse pressure
High-Yield Explanation
An increase in ejection fraction means that a higher fraction of the end-diastolic volume is ejected in the stroke volume (e.g., because of the administration of a positive inotropic agent). When this situation occurs, the volume remaining in the ventricle after systole, the end-systolic volume, will be reduced. Cardiac output, pulse pressure, stroke volume, and systolic pressure will be increased.
