What is the consequence of increased Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) on stroke volume?

Decreases (correct)

Increases

Unpredictable

Remains unchanged

Why does ejection occur only when Left Ventricular Pressure (LVP) is greater than Aortic Pressure (AP)?

To prevent blood backflow into the ventricle (correct)

To protect the heart from excessive pressure

To maintain a continuous blood flow through the aorta

To optimize oxygen delivery to tissues

How does the heart compensate for high aortic pressure?

By reducing coronary blood flow

By decreasing Left Ventricular contractility

By dilating the coronary arteries

By increasing Left Ventricular contractility (correct)
