Which of the following is NOT a determinant of myocardial oxygen supply?

A. Heart rate

B. Hemoglobin

C. LVEDP

D. Afterload


Answer

The answer is D. Afterload, in itself is a deteminant of myocardial oxygen demand. Diastolic blood pressure, not afterload (they are not the same) is a determinant of myocardial oxygen supply. The other determinants of myocardial oxygen supply are cardiac output (HR x SV), oxygen content, coronary perfusion pressure (DBP-LVEDP), heart rate, and wall tension. This question is courtesy of Yaster and in preparation of the oral boards in the spring.
