Cardiac output is necessary for the delivery of oxygen-rich blood to the tissues. Cardiac output is dependent upon heart rate, volume of blood in the ventricle at the onset of contraction, the resistance the heart must eject against, as well as the strength of the heart muscle contraction. This course introduces you to the concepts of preload, afterload, and contractility. You will learn how to assess and finesse these variables to improve perfusion in your patient.[Actual credit = 1.92 ANCC]
