  2. Rate pressure product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_pressure_product

    The calculation formula is: Rate Pressure Product (RPP) = Heart Rate (HR) * Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) The units for the Heart Rate are beats per minute and for the Blood Pressure mmHg . Rate pressure product is a measure of the stress put on the cardiac muscle based on the number of times it needs to beat per minute (HR) and the arterial ...

  3. Pressure–volume loop analysis in cardiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_loop...

    Several physiologically relevant hemodynamic parameters such as stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction, myocardial contractility, etc. can be determined from these loops. To generate a PV loop for the left ventricle, the LV pressure is plotted against LV volume at multiple time points during a single cardiac cycle .

  4. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Hemodynamic monitoring is the observation of hemodynamic parameters over time, such as blood pressure and heart rate. Blood pressure can be monitored either invasively through an inserted blood pressure transducer assembly (providing continuous monitoring), or noninvasively by repeatedly measuring the blood pressure with an inflatable blood ...

  5. Cardiac index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_index

    The cardiac index (CI) is a hemodynamic measure that represents the cardiac output (CO) of an individual divided by their body surface area (BSA), expressed in liters per minute per square meter (L/min/m²). This parameter provides a more accurate assessment of heart function relative to the size of the individual, as opposed to absolute ...

  6. Aortic valve area calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_area_calculation

    In cardiology, aortic valve area calculation is an indirect method of determining the area of the aortic valve of the heart. The calculated aortic valve orifice area is currently one of the measures for evaluating the severity of aortic stenosis. A valve area of less than 1.0 cm 2 is considered to be severe aortic stenosis. [1] [2]

  7. 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.

  8. Lumped parameter model for the cardiovascular system

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumped_parameter_model_for...

    The lumped parameter model consists in a system of ordinary differential equations that adhere to the principles of conservation of mass and momentum balance. The model is obtained exploiting the electrical analogy where the current represents the blood flow, the voltage represents the pressure difference, the electric resistance plays the role of the vascular resistance (determined by the ...

  9. Hemodynamics of the aorta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics_of_the_Aorta

    Anatomical location of the thoracic aorta. The hemodynamics of the aorta is an ongoing field of research in which the goal is to identify what flow patterns and subsequent forces occur within the thoracic aorta.
