Frank Starling Law Crash Course

The Frank-Starling Law is the heart’s built-in mechanism for balancing blood flow — the more it fills, the more it pumps. In this video, we break down exactly how preload, stroke volume, and contractility work together to determine cardiac output (CO = HR × SV). Learn how this principle shapes patient management in critical care, cardiology, and fluid resuscitation — and how understanding the curve helps predict whether your patient will benefit from fluids or not. We’ll explore: The physiology behind the Frank-Starling curve How preload affects stroke volume Clinical applications in shock, heart failure, and critical care monitoring Tricks to remember the concept for exams and bedside decision-making Stay tuned for clear visuals, easy analogies, and a practical clinical focus — designed for nurses, med students, and critical care professionals alike. 📈 This is Pulse & Pressors — Providing a daily education on the marvels of the human body. --- #FrankStarlingLaw #CardiacOutput #CriticalCare #Physiology #NursingEducation #Cardiology #Preload #StrokeVolume #PulseAndPressors #MedicalEducation #ICU #CardiacNurse #Hemodynamics #HeartFunction ‪@annalsofcardiothoracicsurg2361‬ #icu #nurse #srna #crna #hemodynamics
