Why would an increase in stroke volume lead to a drop in resting heart rate?

I may be guessing here but I am thinking with an increase in stroke volume you body is getting more volume per beat ... therefore it compensates by lowering the heart rate. if your pump is more efficient then you body doesn't need your heart to pump as often. That's the only rationale i can think would cause it!

What is stroke volume for a normal resting heart?
It is normally around 70mL. Depending on the person's size and physical activity levels, the "normal" stroke volume varies from between 60mL to 100mL.
Does a slower heart rate increase end diastolic volume stroke volume and force a contraction?
yes
Which of the following would cause the greatest increase in cardiac output?
Increased heart rate and increased stroke volume
Why does increasing heart rate increase stroke volume?
Increasing heart rate does not increase stroke volume. At first, increasing exertion increases both heart rate and stroke volume. As the heart rate increases, the time spent in diastole decreases, so there is less time for the ventricles to fill with blood. The stroke volume therefore stops increasing, and as the heart rate approaches the maximum heart rate the stroke volume may begin to decrease.
How can stroke volume can be altered?
Stroke volume is determined by three factors, altering any of them can change the stroke volume. These factors are preload, afterload, and contractility. The relationship is: SV = P*C/A What this means is that preload and contractility are directly proportional to the stroke volume and afterload is inversely proportional to stroke volume. If you increase preload (within certain limits), stroke volume will increase according to the Starling curve. Increasing contractility (many things can increase this), makes the heart pump harder and increases stroke volume. Increasing afterload decreases stroke volume. All of these can be reversed (decreasing preload and contractility = decreased stroke volume, etc). Get a good physiology book and it will explain all of this very well.
What would happen to cardiac output if the stroke volume increased and the heart rate stayed the same?
Since the stroke volume increased then the cardiac out put would increase, pumping out more blood with the same amount of heart beats.
Is Stroke volume is the volume of blood in the extremities?
No. Stroke volume is the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart with each heart beat.
How much blood is forced out of your heart every hour?
Here you go.http://www.biosbcc.net/doohan/sample/htm/COandMAPhtm.htmCardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute (mL blood/min). Cardiac output is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. The heart rate is simply the number of heart beats per minute. The stroke volume is the volume of blood, in milliliters (mL), pumped out of the heart with each beat. Increasing either heart rate or stroke volume increases cardiac output.Cardiac Output in mL/min = heart rate (beats/min) X stroke volume (mL/beat)An average person has a resting heart rate of 70 beats/minute and a resting stroke volume of 70 mL/beat. The cardiac output for this person at rest is:Cardiac Output = 70 (beats/min) X 70 (mL/beat) = 4900 mL/minute.
During exercise will Cardiac Output increase?
Yes, it is required to because of a greater O2 demand from the muscles. Main mechanism to increase stroke volume is increased heart rate, as cardiac output equals HR times by stroke volume (volume of blood ejected from the heart in contraction).
What is stroke volume used to measure?
Stroke volume is used to measure the heart rate and arterial pressure. Most people who have had a heart attack or stroke or are at risk of having either of these issues must have their heart tested using stroke volume.
What is the difference between stroke volume and cardiac output?
Cardiac output is the blood volume pushed out by the left ventricle per minute. Stroke volume is the volume of blood pushed out of the left ventricle per contraction of the heart (each heart beat). So stroke volume into heart rate / minute gives you cardiac output.
What is the stroke volume for a normal resting heart?
stroke volume of an everage person at rest is 70-80ml stroke volume of an everage person at rest is 70-80ml
