The cardiac output of each ventricle is the same. Why is this? What would happen if the right ventricle pumped more blood than the left?

Why doesn't shortening the diastolic time decrease ventricular filling and thus decrease cardiac output?

The maximum amount of blood within the left ventricle just before the start of isovolumic contraction is called the ____________________ (EDV, ESV, EF).  The amount of blood found within the left ventricle just after ejection and before the left AV valves opens is called the _____________________ (EDV, ESV, EF).  Clinically, one of the best parameters used to measure cardiac function is the EF.  In terms of EDV and ESV, what simple equation would give you the EF?  If you had an echocardiogram and found that your EDV was 100 cc and your ESV was 30 cc, what would be your EF?  EDV = end-diastolic volume, ESV = end-systolic volume, EF = ejection fraction

why a leaking heart valve may cause heart damage over time?
