Question

As pressure in the aorta rises due to atherosclerosis, more ventricular pressure is required to open the aortic valve.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A true

Explanation:

The accumulation of atheroma plaque on the wall of the aorta leads to a stiffness of the aorta, which makes the intraluminal pressure greater, which is reflected in a greater force that the ventricle has to make to eject the blood to the aorta.
