  2. Cardiac output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_output

    Major factors influencing cardiac output – heart rate and stroke volume, both of which are variable. [1]In cardiac physiology, cardiac output (CO), also known as heart output and often denoted by the symbols , ˙, or ˙, [2] is the volumetric flow rate of the heart's pumping output: that is, the volume of blood being pumped by a single ventricle of the heart, per unit time (usually measured ...

  3. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusing_capacity_for...

    This test involves measuring the partial pressure difference between inspired and expired carbon monoxide. It relies on the strong affinity and large absorption capacity of red blood cells for carbon monoxide and thus demonstrates gas uptake by the capillaries that are less dependent on cardiac output . [ 3 ]

    The interest lies in its profound relationship with breathing, ANS, and cardiac autonomic regulation. [ citation needed ] The most relevant and validated capacity is to prognosticate the coronary heart disease patients, accordingly, a reduced HRV is related to a high risk of mortality after myocardial infarction.

  5. Capnography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capnography

    If cardiac output (the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart) is decreased, the ability to transport CO 2 is also decreased which is reflected in a decreased expired amount of CO 2. The relationship of cardiac output and end tidal CO 2 is linear, such that as cardiac output increases or decreases, the amount of CO

  6. Impedance cardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_cardiography

    Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive technology measuring total electrical conductivity of the thorax and its changes in time to process continuously a number of cardiodynamic parameters, such as stroke volume (SV), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), ventricular ejection time (VET), pre-ejection period and used to detect the impedance changes caused by a high-frequency, low ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_gas_analysis

    Even under resting conditions exhaled breath concentrations of VOCs can be strongly influenced by specific physiological parameters such as cardiac output and breathing patterns, depending on the physico-chemical properties of the compound under study.

  8. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Ventricular fibrillation produces an ECG but is too dysfunctional to produce a life-sustaining cardiac output. Certain rhythms are known to have good cardiac output and some are known to have bad cardiac output. Ultimately, an echocardiogram or other anatomical imaging modality is useful in assessing the mechanical function of the heart. [52]

  9. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac output as shown on an ECG. Cardiac output (CO) is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle (stroke volume, SV) in one minute. To calculate this, multiply stroke volume (SV), by heart rate (HR), in beats per minute. [1] It can be represented by the equation: CO = HR x SV [1]
