____ refers to the force of ventricular ejection of blood.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contractility refers to the ability of the heart muscle to contract and generate force. An increase in contractility leads to an increase in the force of ventricular ejection of blood, while a decrease in contractility leads to a decrease in the force of ventricular ejection of blood. Increased afterload refers to an increased resistance the heart must overcome to eject blood, while decreased preload refers to a decreased amount of blood in the ventricles before contraction. Automaticity refers to the heart's ability to generate its own electrical impulses.
