Afterload — or more precisely, effective pulmonary arterial elastance — can be estimated as end-systolic pressure over stroke volume. 30 As compared with pulmonary vascular resistance ...

The epinephrine increases afterload by stimulating alpha receptors, increases the contractility (squeezing force of the heart or inotropy) and heart rate by stimulating beta receptors.

Increased afterload is not synonymous with systolic hypertension. In fact, nearly all our patients would have been considered normotensive, if not frankly hypotensive, ...

AbstractRight ventricular (RV) afterload consists of both resistive and capacitive (pulsatile) components. Total afterload can be measured directly with pulmonary artery input impedance spectra or ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...

Left ventricular fractional shortening was significantly reduced after doxorubicin therapy, and the reduction was related to cumulative dose. z scores for fractional shortening transiently improved ...
