Length of muscle fibers Preload Frank-Starling Law of the heart 2. Contractility Increased contractility Decreased contractility Factors affecting stroke volume Heart Rate Parasympathetic Control Acetylcholine K+ channels increase permeability Ca2+ permeability decreases Sympathetic Control Catecholamines (NE & Epi) β1- adrenergic receptors Increased permeability to Na+ and Ca2+ V.
