Which factor is directly proportional to end-diastolic volume (EDV)?

Preload (correct)

Stroke volume

Contractility

End-systolic volume

Increased venous return leads to an increase in end-systolic volume (ESV).

False

What is the Frank-Starling Principle?

As end-diastolic volume increases, stroke volume increases.
