Ventricular remodeling — refers to the changes in size, shape, and function of the heart after injury to the left ventricle. The injury is typically due to acute myocardial infarction (usually transmural or ST segment elevation infarction), but may be from a number of… … Wikipedia
ventricular function — ventricular performance (q.v.) as related to end diastolic volume, dimension, or pressure; Starling curves (ventricular function curves) are used in the assessment of loading conditions and of cardiac contractility … Medical dictionary
left ventricular ejection time — (LVET) the interval from systole to closure of the aortic valve, measured on the carotid pulse tracing from the beginning upstroke to the dicrotic notch; it is one of the systolic time intervals (q.v.) measured to assess left ventricular… … Medical dictionary
Cardiac output — (Q or or CO ) is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by a left or right ventricle in the time interval of one minute. CO may be measured in many ways, for example dm3/min (1 dm3 equals 1000 cm3 or 1 litre). Q is… … Wikipedia

preejection period — (PEP) the interval between the onset of ventricular depolarization and the onset of ventricular ejection; it is one of the systolic time intervals (q.v.) used in assessing left ventricular performance and is calculated by subtracting the left… … Medical dictionary
Starling curve — a graphic representation of cardiac output, or other measure of ventricular performance, as a function of ventricular filling for a given level of contractility; as atrial pressure and venous return increase, cardiac output initially increases… … Medical dictionary
systolic time intervals — (STI) any of several intervals measured for assessing left ventricular performance, particularly left ventricular ejection time (LVET), electromechanical systole (QS2), and preejection period (PEP); electrocardiography, phonocardiography, and… … Medical dictionary
electromechanical systole — the interval from the onset of the QRS complex on the electrocardiogram to the aortic component of the second heart sound; it is one of the systolic time intervals (q.v.), encompassing the left ventricular ejection time and the preejection period … Medical dictionary
