Q The stroke volume ejected on the next heartbeat after premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is usually larger than normal. Explain why this is the case. (HINT: It should be noted that at a given heart rate, the interval between a PVC and the next normal beat is longer than the interval between two normal beats.)
