Mitral valve prolapse may decrease the stroke volume, if it is associated with significant backflow. It decreases the effeciency of the left ventricular contraction.

Would an increase in contractility cause an increase to cardiac output?
Yes - an increase in contractility would lead to an increase in stroke volume. An increased stroke volume would cause an increased cardiac output.
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.
What would happen to blood flow when the mitral valve is not working correctly?
This condition is called as mitral regurgitation. Here some of the blood flows back to left atrium. So the left atrium gets dilated and there is also hypertrophy of the left ventricle. The efficacy of the heart is adversely affected. There is diminished cardiac out put. In severe cases, you have left sided heart failure.
How does preload affect the stroke volume?
Preload refers to the degree of stretch of cardiac muscle cells before contraction. These muscles exhibit a length-tension relationship. When the cardiac muscle cells are at rest, they are shorter than their optimal length. The most important factor affecting the stretching of cardiac muscles is the venous return, that is, the amount of blood returning back to the heart. Slow heartbeat and exercise can increase the venous return. This will lead to the stretching of the ventricles and it will hence increase the contraction force.As reflected by the Frank-Starling Law, the stroke volume increases with the end diastolic volume. The greater filling volume will lead to the heart to stretch more and this will increase its force of contraction.
What happens when there is a reduction to the blood returning to the heart does it increase?
Venous return (VR) is the flow of blood back to the heart. Under steady-state conditions, venous return must equal cardiac output (CO) when averaged over time because the cardiovascular system is essentially a closed loop.if systemic venous return is suddenly decreased, right ventricular preload decreases leading to an decrease in stroke volume and pulmonary blood flow.Decreased pulmonary venous return to the left atrium leads to decreased filling (preload) of the left ventricle, which in turn decreases left ventricular stroke volume by the Frank-Starling mechanism.In this way, a decrease in venous return to the heart leads to an equivalent decrease in cardiac output to the systemic circulation.
Does stroke volume increase if end diastolic volume decrease?
false, stroke volume decreases if the end volume decreases.
Would stroke volume increase or decrease if your unhealthy?
increase because the more unhealthy you are leads to you to eating more unhealthy things witch can cause strokes
Would pulse rate decrease or increase during heat stroke?
your pulse rate would increase because the heart would be trying to keep up a moderate blood pressure.
What factors influence cardiac output?
A cardiac cycle is the complete sequence to make one complete contraction. Factors that influence the cardiac cycle include the increase and decrease in heart rate, change of posture, parasympathetic nervous system activity and sympathetic nervous system activity.
How does increase in stroke volume?
Increase stroke if we no dot do exercises & healthy food vegetables
Does the stroke volume in highly trained athletes decrease?
no
How does an increased or decreased cardiac output impact the body?
A decrease or increase of cardiac output in the body can result to several health problems depending on the body's health conditions. A stroke is prevalent if there is an increase of cardiac output that cannot be handled by the system. Lack of oxygen in the brain is an effect of a decrease cardiac output on the other hand.
Would an increase in contractility cause an increase to cardiac output?
Yes - an increase in contractility would lead to an increase in stroke volume. An increased stroke volume would cause an increased cardiac output.
Can you take vigra when you are on creatine?
no, it will increase the chance of stroke
What increases stroke volume?
increase venous return
What is the sympathetic effect on the heart?
Heart rate increases with sympathetic nervous system. There is increase in stroke volume and cardiac output. With stimulation of vagus nerve or parasympathetic nervous system, You have decrease in heart rate. There is decrease the stroke volume and cardiac output.
How can you increase the rpm of a existing two stroke engine?
why just get a real stroke engine. like a yamaha or honda.
