Cardiovascular Changes in Exercise by Sushmita Vandari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
During exercise, the cardiovascular system undergoes changes to meet the increased demand of active muscles for oxygen. Myocardial oxygen demand increases up to 5-7 times with exercise due to higher heart rate, increased preload and afterload, and enhanced contractility. To match this greater demand, myocardial oxygen supply is augmented through higher diastolic blood pressure and longer diastolic time improving coronary blood flow, as well as increased oxygen extraction from hemoglobin and plasma. These ca
