  2. Venous return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_return

    Decreased venous capacitance: Sympathetic activation of veins decreases venous compliance, increases vasomotor tone, increases central venous pressure and promotes venous return indirectly by augmenting cardiac output through the Frank-Starling mechanism, which increases the total blood flow through the circulatory system.

  3. Pulsus paradoxus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsus_paradoxus

    This is because inspiration decreases intra-thoracic pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, which increases blood flow (systemic venous return) to the right atrium of the heart by reducing pressure on the veins, particularly the venae cavae. However, the decrease in intra-thoracic pressure and stretching of the lungs during inhalation also ...

  4. Obstructive shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_shock

    Rather, the input into the heart (venous return) is decreased or the pressure against which the heart is pumping is higher than normal. [7] Treating the underlying cause can reverse the shock. [1] For example, tension pneumothorax needs rapid needle decompression. This decreases the pressure in the chest.

  5. Orthostatic hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension

    Orthostatic hypotension happens when gravity causes blood to pool in the lower extremities, which in turn compromises venous return, resulting in decreased cardiac output and subsequent lowering of arterial pressure.

  6. Mitral valve prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_prolapse

    Both Valsalva maneuver and standing decrease venous return to the heart thereby decreasing left ventricular diastolic filling and causing more laxity on the chordae tendineae. This allows the mitral valve to prolapse earlier in systole, leading to an earlier systolic click (i.e. closer to S 1), and a longer murmur. [12]

  7. Stroke volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_volume

    An increase in the volume or speed of venous return will increase preload and, through the Frank–Starling law of the heart, will increase stroke volume. Decreased venous return has the opposite effect, causing a reduction in stroke volume. [9] Elevated afterload (commonly measured as the aortic pressure during systole) reduces stroke volume.

  8. Preload (cardiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(cardiology)

    Preload is affected by venous blood pressure and the rate of venous return. These are affected by venous tone and volume of circulating blood. Preload is related to the ventricular end-diastolic volume; a higher end-diastolic volume implies a higher preload.

  9. 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. A steady state is formed at the ...
