is the tension or stress developed in the wall of the
left ventricleduring ejection. In other words, it is the end
Loadagainst which the heart contracts to eject blood.
It is the amount of resistance the blood must overcome to be pumped out of the heart.
An afterload is the load on a working muscle from a constant opposing force.

The aorta and the pulmonary arteries provide right and left ventricular afterload. Afterload is the resistance the blood loaded into the heart when it tries to leave.
Morphine decrease cathecolamines therefore decreases afterload.
It decreases preload and afterload as a result of the dilation in the venous and arterial vasculature from the nitric oxide.
