1. With an increase in end diastolic volume, preload increases stretching the cardiac muscle more. In order to maintain cardiac output, the heart would increase contractility and stroke volume.

2. The pump rate decreased when the stroke volume increased. The heart doesn’t have to pump as often to
maintain cardiac output.

3. With increased cardiovascular conditioning, the heart is able to pump more forcefully resulting in a greater stroke volume. With increased stroke volume, the heart doesnít have to pump as often to maintain cardiac output.
