Hemodynamics Flashcards
Right Atrium Pressure
2-6
Right Ventricle Pressure
15-25
Left Atrium Pressure
8-12
Left Ventricle Pressure
110-140
Pulmonary Artery Pressure
15-25 systolic
8-15 diastolic
Aorta Pressure
100-130 systolic
60-90 diastolic
Is right pressures higher or lower than the left
lower
what is cardiac output
amt of blood pumped by the heart per min.
SVxHR=Cardiac Output
what is pre-load
stretch, amount of volume returned to the heart
what is after-load
resistance the cardiac muscle overcomes to eject blood from the heart
what is contractility
force of ventricular contraction
what is ejection fraction
how much blood is being ejected from ventricles after each beat
normal ejection fraction
60-70%
what will increase cardiac output
Increased HR (exercise, fight or flight) Digoxin
what will reduce cardiac output
beta blockers
