  2. Virchow's triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virchow's_triad

    The origin of the term "Virchow's Triad" is of historical interest, and has been subject to reinterpretation in recent years. [7] While both Virchow's and the modern triads describe thrombosis, the previous triad has been characterized as "the consequences of thrombosis", and the modern triad as "the causes of thrombosis".

  3. 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 ...

  4. Haemodynamic response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemodynamic_response

    Various cell types play a role in HR, including astrocytes, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells of blood vessels, and pericytes. These cells control whether the vessels are constricted or dilated, which dictates the amount of oxygen and glucose that is able to reach the neuronal tissue.

  5. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

    A substantial amount of blood loss to the point of hemodynamic compromise may occur in the chest, abdomen, or the retroperitoneum. [3] The thigh itself can hold up to 1 L to 2 L of blood. [3] Localizing and controlling the source of bleeding is of utmost importance to the treatment of hemorrhagic shock. [3]

  6. Mitral stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis

    By far the most serious adverse event is the occurrence of acute severe mitral regurgitation. Severe mitral regurgitation usually results from a tear in one of the valve leaflets or the subvalvular apparatus. It can lead to pulmonary edema and hemodynamic compromise, necessitating urgent surgical mitral valve replacement. [citation needed]

  7. Thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

    hemodynamic changes (blood stasis or turbulence), vessel wall (endothelial) injury/dysfunction, and; altered blood coagulation (hypercoagulability). [17] [18] Some risk factors predispose for venous thrombosis while others increase the risk of arterial thrombosis. [citation needed] Newborn babies in the neonatal period are also at risk of a ...

  8. 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 .

  9. Thrombus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombus

    Hemodynamic changes (stasis, turbulence): Blood stasis promotes greater contact between platelets/coagulative factors with vascular endothelium. If rapid blood circulation (e.g., because of tachycardia ) occurs within vessels that have endothelial injuries, that creates disordered flow (turbulence) that can lead to the formation of thrombosis ...
