a) stroke volume for a control patient is = ESV- EDV= 70ml
b) Cardiac output = HR
stroke volume = 80
70 = 5600 ml/min = 5.6 L/min
c) work done at constant pressure = W = PV
= 0.6N/cm2
100cm3 = 60 N cm = 0.6 N m = 0.6J
d) The graph that depicts hypoperfusion is the reduced preload( green portion). This is because during hyperfusion blood volume and pressure decreases resulting in ischemia and hence the preload which is eqqual to the ventricular filling also decreases because decreased preload is characteristic of low blood pressure and blood volume.

I just need the Control
Patient's CO; please and thank you
1. Background: Critically ill patients in a cardiovascular intensive care unit must be intensely monitored for any number of conditions. One of these conditions is hypoperfusion, which is an overall decrease in blood flow throughout the body. Low stroke volume is one indicator of hypoperfusion. The pressure-volume (PV) graph below shows three possible loops for the heart. The control loop shows a healthy heart while the other two loops...
Please provide detailed explanation for each answer. Thanks
Case Study: You are a nurse working in an emergency department. Your new admission is a 22 year-old-male brought in by the paramedics after fainting during a try out session for his university's competitive hockey team. The patient states he was experiencing some chest pain and dizziness right before fainting. He denies having any past medical history or taking any medication. His vital signs at the time the paramedics arrived at the...
