decreased left ventricular compliance means the left ventricles are stiffer , therefore they cannot relax properly hence end diastolic pressure will increase instead leading to increase preload
which depends on venous return and left ventricular compliance.
In cases of heart failure this this increased preload
will further transmit pressure
to the pulmonary vasculature.
in cases of volume hypertrophy ventricles dilates and therefore increased ventricular compliance.

When heart rate is increased the time of ventricular filling is?
. . . decreased.
Decreased cardiac output elevated left ventricular filling pressure peripheral vasoconstriction and arterial hypotension are all hallmark signs of what?
heart failure...
What is the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy will shift the apical beat.
What do right-side elevated oxygen levels indicate in a cardiac catheterization?
A left side that experiences decreased oxygen indicates a right-to-left shunt.
What is left ventricular perfusion?
Left Ventricular dysfunction-A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall.
What is a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
When was the left ventricular assist device invented?
1982
What can decrease the cardiac output?
The cardiac output can be decreased by decreasing the force of contraction of the ventricular myocardium and decreasing the heart rate.
What are the risks of a misfire of the left ventricle?
The risk of left ventricular misfire is a left ventricular free wall rupture. A misfire in either the right or the left ventricle of the heart is an electrical problem with the circuitry. These conditions are usually treated through angioplasty.
What causes QRS complex to reverse?
left ventricular contraction
What type of blood is located you the left side of the heart?
Ventricular
