ICU Primary PrepCast #026- CVS Physiology Part 2
Dec 1, 2019
This podcast delves into cardiac output and its determinants in intensive care, exploring the mechanical and electrochemical events of the cardiac cycle, including ventricular filling stages during diastole and the Frank Starling Mechanism. It also discusses factors influencing cardiac output, such as preload, afterload, and contractility, and touches on the effects of increasing afterload on left atrial pressure and myocardial oxygen demand. The episode wraps up with a joke about neurologists and a farewell message to a host going on holiday.
