Cardiac Cycle: Pressure and Volume

This video explores the relationship between pressure and volume in the left ventricle during 1 cardiac cycle. It answers the question, how can such a small pump provide all the power needed to push blood through all of the vessels of the body? Oh, what a great question! It gets my heart pumping fast just thinking about it!
