It is the most efficient way to analyze the productivity of the heart. The cardiac output can be found by taking the heart rate and multiplying it by the stroke volume, which is on average seventy milliliters per minute. Stroke volume is the amount of blood that is ejected during the systolic contraction, and is dependent on the force of that contraction. One factor that determines the contraction force is how much the myocardium that forms the ventricle is able to expand during the preload stage of contraction. In Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, it is the expansion of ventricular myocardium that has been compromised and affects the heart function in a negative …show more content…
A sign is an objective indicator of a disease; this is most often seen by a medical practitioner but not known or recognized by the patient. When a patient has Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, he or she will have increased jugular venous pressure; this indicates that the heart has an impaired ability to fill completely. Due to the fact that the heart is unable to fill completely, it is unable to eject a sufficient amount of blood, which result in decreased stroke volume and cardiac out put. The patient will have heart murmurs or other rhythmic problems. Additionally, the patient may have an enlarged and firm liver that causes pain. This is particularly significant for amyloidosis due to the fact that proteins are made in the
