A. True.
B. False. Contains no information about SV.
C. False. Contains no information about SV.
D. True.
E. True. A reconfigured version of equation 4.
F. False. SVR = BP ÷ CO.
The two most important relationships are:
BP = CO x SVR
CO = SV x HR
A fall in blood pressure can therefore result either from a reduction in cardiac output or because of vasodilatation.
