SUMMARY

1. Basal cardiac O₂ consumption: 2ml/100g/min (higher than skeletal muscle).

2. Basal cardiac O₂ extraction is high and there cannot be increased much further, so increase in cardiac O₂ demand must be met by increased coronary flow.

3. Myocardial Work (MW) = SV * PA or aortic pressure (which corresponds to afterload).

4. For unknown reasons, increase in PA or aortic pressure generates more MW than increase in SV.

5. Hence, increased afterload generates more MW than increased preload (why angina is more common with AS than AR).
