Cardiovascular Abbreviations Flashcards
Define ABP
Pressure on arteries during heart contraction
How do you calculate ABP?
CO X TPR
Define mABP
Mean arterial blood pressure:
Average pressure in a patients arteries during 1 cardiac cycle
Define SP
Systolic Pressure: mmHg
Pressure of blood in arteries during systole (contraction/pumping)
Define DP
Diastolic Pressure: mmHg
Pressure of blood in arteries during diastole (filling)
Define PP
Pulse Pressure: mmHg
Difference between systolic and diastolic pressures. It is the force generated each time the heart contracts
Define HR
Heart Rate: Beats/Min
The number of beats per minute
Define SV
Stroe volume: 70ml
Volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per heart beat
Define EDV
End Diastolic Volume: 120ml
Volume of blood in the ventricles after diastole (filling)
Define ESV
End Systolic Volume: 50ml
Volume of blood in the ventricles after systole (contraction)
Define CO
Cardiac Output: 5L/min
Amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute
Define VP
Venous pressure: mmHg
Average blood pressure within the venous compartments
Define VR
Venous Return:
Rate of blood flow bac to the heart
Define CVP
Central Venous Pressure: mmHg
Blood presure in the vena cava by right atrium of the heart
Define TPR
Total Peripheral Resistance:
Sum of the resistances of all peripheral vasculature in systemic circulation
