MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
Average blood pressure in arteries during one cardiac cycle.
Atrial Fibrillation
Irregular and rapid heartbeat that increases stroke risk.
Stroke Volume
Amount of blood ejected by the heart in one beat.
Pulmonary Wedge Pressure
Measurement of left atrial pressure via a catheter in the pulmonary artery.
Vascular Bruits
Abnormal sound due to turbulent blood flow in arteries.
Pulmonary Catheter
Tube inserted into the pulmonary artery for pressure measurements.
Cardiac Output
Volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute (SV × HR).
Pulsus Alternans
Alternating strong and weak heartbeats, indicating left ventricular dysfunction.
End Diastolic Pressure
Pressure in the ventricles at the end of diastole (filling phase).
Pulse Pressure
Difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Heart Murmurs
Unusual heart sounds caused by turbulent blood flow or valve abnormalities.
Abdominojugular Reflux
Increased jugular venous pressure upon pressing the abdomen, indicating heart dysfunction.
Apex Beats
The palpable beating of the heart at the chest’s apex.
Atrial Flutter
Rapid, regular atrial contractions, leading to inefficient blood pumping.
Central Venous Pressure
Pressure in the central veins, reflecting right heart function and fluid status.
