Ventricular chamber compliance

Ventricular chamber compliance is determined mostly by


[A] Preload
[B] Afterload
[C] Myocardial muscle mass
[D] Chamber geometry



Ventricular chamber compliance


Factors contribute to the intrinsic distensibility of the chamber – Ventricular chamber compliance


  1. Afterload – Ventricular chamber compliance is determined to a large extent by afterload.
  2. Intravascular volume status,
  3. Myocardial muscle mass
  4. Chamber geometry,
  5. Coronary perfusion
  6. Pericardial and intrathoracic pressures
