A 72 year old man comes to the physcian because of a 8 month history of progressive dyspnea on exertion and fatigue. Auscultation of the chest shows cracles bilaterally and an S3. There is no jugular venous distention, hepatojugular reflux or pedal edema. Which of the following hemodynamic findings is most likely in the patient ? A. Decreased left ventricular ejection fraction B. Decreased left ventricular preload C. Decreased right ventricular preload D. Increased Left ventricular Stroke volume E. Increased Right ventricular ejection fraction F. Increased right ventricular stroke volume
