  2. Central venous pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_pressure

    [2] [3] Nevertheless, CVP monitoring is a useful tool to guide hemodynamic therapy. The cardiopulmonary baroreflex responds to an increase in CVP by decreasing systemic vascular resistance while increasing heart rate and ventricular contractility in dogs. [4] Trend of central venous pressure as a consequence of variations in cardiac output.

  3. Cardiac function curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_function_curve

    The horizontal axis of Guyton diagram represents right atrial pressure or central venous pressure, and the vertical axis represents cardiac output or venous return. The red curve sloping upward to the right is the cardiac output curve, and the blue curve sloping downward to the right is the venous return curve. A steady state is formed at the ...

  4. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    Hypertension in cats and dogs is generally diagnosed if the blood pressure is greater than 150 mm Hg (systolic), [117] although sight hounds have higher blood pressures than most other dog breeds; a systolic pressure greater than 180 mmHg is considered abnormal in these dogs.

  5. Frank–Starling law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank–Starling_law

    His data was analyzed on a pressure-volume diagram, which resulted in his description of peak isovolumic pressure and its effects on ventricular volume. [ 5 ] Starling experimented on intact mammalian hearts, such as from dogs, to understand why variations in arterial pressure, heart rate, and temperature do not affect the relatively constant ...

  6. Venous return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_return

    Note that, for cardiac function curve, "central venous pressure" is the independent variable and "systemic flow" is the dependent variable; for vascular function curve, the opposite is true. Venous return curves showing the normal curve when the mean systemic filling pressure (Psf) is 7 mm Hg and the effect of altering the Psf to 3.5, 7, or 14 ...

  7. Hypervolemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervolemia

    Eventually, the fluid enters the air spaces in the lungs (pulmonary edema) reduces the amount of oxygen that can enter the blood, leading to anemia and causes shortness of breath or enters pleural space by transudation (pleural effusion which also causes dyspnea), which is the best indicator of estimating central venous pressure is increased ...

  8. Right atrial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_atrial_pressure

    CVP and RAP can differ when venous tone (i.e the degree of venous constriction) is altered. This can be graphically depicted as changes in the slope of the venous return plotted against right atrial pressure (where central venous pressure increases, but right atrial pressure stays the same; VR = CVP − RAP).

  9. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

    Central venous pressure (CVP) is often used to assess volume status. However, its usefulness in determining volume responsiveness has recently come into question. Ventilator settings, chest wall compliance, and right-sided heart failure can compromise CVPs accuracy as a measure of volume status.
