2. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

   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 ...

3. End-diastolic volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-diastolic_volume

   The right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) ranges between 100 and 160 mL. [5] The right ventricular end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) is calculated by RVEDV/ BSA and ranges between 60 and 100 mL/m 2 .

4. Residual volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_volume

   Residual volume, air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation; see lung volumes Residual volume, urine remaining in the bladder after voiding; see urinary retention Gastric residual volume (GRV) is the volume of food or fluid remaining in the stomach at a point in time during enteral tube nutrition feeding .

5. End-systolic volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-systolic_volume

   End-systolic volume (ESV) is the volume of blood in a ventricle at the end of contraction, or systole, and the beginning of filling, or diastole. ESV is the lowest volume of blood in the ventricle at any point in the cardiac cycle. The main factors that affect the end-systolic volume are afterload and the contractility of the heart.

6. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   Myocardial infarction; Other names: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart attack: A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, causing catastrophic thrombus formation, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream to the heart muscle.

7. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

   Coronary thrombosis is defined as the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel of the heart. This blood clot may then restrict blood flow within the heart, leading to heart tissue damage, or a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack.

8. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

   Low volume, cardiogenic, obstructive, distributive [2] Causes: Low volume: Severe bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, or pancreatitis [1] Cardiogenic: severe heart attack (especially of the left or right ventricles), severe heart failure, cardiac contusion [1] Obstructive: Cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax [1]

9. Stroke volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_volume

   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).
