Increased ventricular systolic stiffness leads to a greater rise in blood pressure for a given increase in (A) afterload or (B) preload. (C) Although isolated increases in afterload lead to a predictable reduction in stroke volume for a given level of contractility, this afterload dependence is more marked in patients who have lower Ees, as seen in patients who have heart failure with reduced EF.
