Afterload can be thought of as the load that the heart must eject blood against. In simple terms, the afterload is closely related to the aortic pressure. (P, ventricular pressure; r, ventricular radius; h, wall thickness).
By placing a radioactivity counter over the head, one can measure the amount of blood flow into the brain. (See How Nuclear Medicine Works .) The cerebral blood flow study takes 20 to 30 minutes to perform. If there is no blood flow to the brain as demonstrated by this study, the brain is dead.A negative cerebral flow study is indisputable evidence of a dead brain. Normal cerebral blood flow study showing cranial space filled with blood. Cerebral blood flow study showing no blood entering the brain.Another confirmatory test is chemical: The patient can be given 1 mg of atropine IV.In the patient with an intact brain, atropine will dramatically increase the patient's heart rate. In a brain-dead patient, atropine will not influence heart rate.y placing a radioactivity counter over the head, one can measure the amount of blood flow into the brain.
