摘要

The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to model the changes in preload, afterload, and contractility on a simulated pressure- volume loop and to correlate those findings with common measurements of clinical cardiovascular physiology. Once students have modeled these changes on a healthy heart, the students are asked to look at a simulated case of cardiogenic shock. Effects on preload, contractility, and afterload are explored, as well as the hemodynamic effects of a number of student- suggested treatment strategies.
