Explanation:
Increasing afterload not only reduces stroke volume, but it also increases left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) (i.e., increases preload). ... This can be illustrated by seeing how ventricular volume changes in response to a decrease in arterial pressure over several heart beats
