  2. 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 ...

  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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 .

  7. Central venous pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_pressure

    However, there is increasing evidence that CVP, whether as an absolute value or in terms of changes in response to fluid, does not correlate with ventricular volume (i.e. preload) or volume-responsiveness, and so should not be used to guide intravenous fluid therapy. [2] [3] Nevertheless, CVP monitoring is a useful tool to guide hemodynamic ...

  8. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    As in humans, blood pressure in animals differs by age, sex, time of day, and environmental circumstances: [114] [115] measurements made in laboratories or under anesthesia may not be representative of values under free-living conditions. Rats, mice, dogs and rabbits have been used extensively to study the regulation of blood pressure.

  9. Aortic valve area calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_area_calculation

    The following hemodynamic parameters were measured. With a heart rate of 80 beats/minute and a systolic ejection period of 0.33 seconds, the cardiac output was 5 liters/minute. During simultaneous measurement of pressures in the left ventricle and aorta (with the use of one catheter in the left ventricle and a second in the ascending aorta ...
