Shown is a diagram of pathological hypertrophy reducing EDV and SV. The thickening of the ventricular muscle results in decreased chamber compliance. As a result, LV pressures are elevated, the ESV is increased, and the EDV is decreased, causing an overall reduction in cardiac output. There are two exceptions to this.
In a study of normative men aged 20-29 years, the average PSV was 115 cm/sec and EDV was 32 cm/sec. In men 80 years and older, the average PSV was 88 cm/sec and EDV was 17 cm/sec.

Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...
Because greater EDVs cause greater distention of the ventricle, EDV is often used synonymously with preload, which refers to the length of the sarcomeres in cardiac muscle prior to contraction . An increase in EDV increases the preload on the heart and, through the Frank-Starling mechanism of the heart, increases the amount of blood ejected ...
Preload can still be approximated by the inexpensive echocardiographic measurement end-diastolic volume or EDV. Preload increases with exercise (slightly), increasing blood volume (as in edema, excessive blood transfusion (overtransfusion), polycythemia) and neuroendocrine activity (sympathetic tone). An arteriovenous fistula can increase ...
In cardiovascular physiology, stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the ventricle per beat. Stroke volume is calculated using measurements of ventricle volumes from an echocardiogram and subtracting the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of a beat (called end-systolic volume [note 1]) from the volume of blood just prior to the beat (called end-diastolic volume).
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 ...
RExcel is an add-on for Microsoft Excel that allows access to the statistics package R from within Excel. It uses the statconnDCOM server and, for certain configurations, the room package. RExcel runs on Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, or 7), with Excel 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2013. [1]
