Hemodynamic Terminology

The concepts of hemodynamics involve understanding various parameters that influence heart function and blood circulation. Key measures include cardiac output, which is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, and cardiac index, which adjusts this volume based on body surface area.

Contractility

Strength of contraction
⇧ when preload is un▲ yet ♡ contracts ⇧ forcefully

Vascular resistance

SVR & PVR reflect afterload

Afterload

CO can be restored & myocardial 02 needs ⇓ by ⇓ afterload
Vasodilators can ⇓ afterload
Forces opposing ventricular ejection
mass & density of blood moves
systemic arterial pressure

Preload

Frank-Starling's law: the ⇧ a myocardial fiber is stretched, the during filling, the ⇧ it shortens during systole & ⇧ the contraction force
PAWP-measurement of pulmonary capillary pressure, reflects left ventricular end-diastolic pressure
left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure:Left ventricular preload
Volume within the ventricle @ the end of diastole

Cardiac output & cardiac index

Preload, afterload, & contractility determine SV(& thus CO and BP)
Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR): opposition encountered by the right ventricle
Systemic Vascular resistance: opposition encountered by the left ventricle
Stroke Volume index: measurement of SV adjusted for BSA
Stroke Volume: volume ejected w each beat
Cardiac index: measurement of CO adjusted for body surface area
Cardiac output: volume of blood in liters pumped by the heart in 1 minute
