A review of the material for Principles III test 1. Reviewing cardiac material.
- 1.Blood flow to the coronary arteries decreases during which phase of the cardiac cycle?

Systole
- B.
Bradycardia
- C.
Diastole
- D.
None of above, blood flow to coronary arteries is constant
- 2.What effect will tachycardia have on coronary artery perfusion?
- A.
Perfusion will increase due to an increase in cardiac output.
