In hematology, effective circulating volume (ECV) is the volume of arterial blood effectively perfusing tissue. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ECV is a dynamic quantity and not a measurable, distinct compartment. [ 1 ] This concept is useful for discussion of cardiovascular and renal physiology.
The average adult horse has a 3.6-kilogram (7.9 lb) heart, although it can be more than twice this size. The heart grows until the horse is 4 years of age, although it can increase slightly in size as a response to conditioning. [1] Heart size does not necessarily correlate to the size of the horse. [2]
Cardiac stress testing is used to determine to assess cardiac function and to disclose evidence of exertion-related cardiac hypoxia. Radionuclide testing using thallium or technetium can be used to demonstrate areas of perfusion abnormalities. With a maximal stress test the level of exercise is increased until the person's heart rate will not ...
Normal EABV exists when the ratio of cardiac output to peripheral resistance maintains venous return and cardiac output at normal levels. EABV can be reduced, therefore, by factors which reduce actual arterial blood volume (hemorrhage, dehydration), increase arterial vascular capacitance (cirrhosis, sepsis) or reduce cardiac output (congestive ...

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 ...
Clinical cardiac electrophysiology (also referred to as cardiac electrophysiology or simply EP), is a branch of the medical specialty of cardiology concerned with the study and treatment of rhythm disorders of the heart. [1] Cardiologists with expertise in this area are usually referred to as electrophysiologists.
