Lecture:10 Contractility, Stroke volume and Heart Failure
... The contractility of the myocardium exerts a major influence on SV. Contractility is increased in response to sympathetic stimulation and this is reflected by shifting the pressure volume-loop upward and to the left (positive inotropic effect). Changes in heart rate and rhythm also affect myocardial ...

Cardiac surgery
Cardiovascular (heart) surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. Frequently, it is done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, coronary artery bypass grafting), correct congenital heart disease, or treat valvular heart disease from various causes including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease and atherosclerosis. It also includes heart transplantation.
