Cardiovascular Physiology - Pressure-Volume Loops, Cardiac Cycle, ESV, EDV, SV, CO, Starling Law

Dive into a comprehensive 48-minute video lecture on cardiovascular physiology, exploring pressure-volume loops, cardiac cycle, and key cardiac parameters. Learn about end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV), stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), and cardiac output (CO). Understand the Frank-Starling Law, preload vs afterload, cardiac index, and the concepts of compliance vs elasticity. Examine isometric and isotonic contractions, heart chambers, and left ventricular function through detailed explanations and visual aids. Test your knowledge with integrated quizzes and access additional resources to further enhance your understanding of cardiovascular physiology.
