What phase of the cardiac cycle is most affected by changes in heart rate?_____
What effect does decreased heart rate have on cardiac contractility?_____
Coronary blood flow peaks in early _____ (systole/diastole)
How does ventricular volume change during atrial systole?_____
Where in the heart is conduction velocity the slowest? _____
Inspiration delays closure of the _____ valve which causes splitting of the S2 heart sound
