2. End-diastolic volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-diastolic_volume

   In cardiovascular physiology, end-diastolic volume (EDV) is the volume of blood in the right or left ventricle at end of filling in diastole which is amount of blood present in ventricle at the end of diastole. [1]

3. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

   The EF of the left heart, known as the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), is calculated by dividing the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat (stroke volume) by the volume of blood present in the left ventricle at the end of diastolic filling (end-diastolic volume).

4. Frank–Starling law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank–Starling_law

   A blood volume increase would cause a shift along the line to the right, which increases left ventricular end diastolic volume (x axis), and therefore also increases stroke volume (y axis). The Frank–Starling law of the heart (also known as Starling's law and the Frank–Starling mechanism ) represents the relationship between stroke volume ...

5. Stroke volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_volume

   In cardiovascular physiology, stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the ventricle per beat. Stroke volume is calculated using measurements of ventricle volumes from an echocardiogram and subtracting the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of a beat (called end-systolic volume [note 1]) from the volume of blood just prior to the beat (called end-diastolic volume).

6. Pressure–volume loop analysis in cardiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_loop...

   During ventricular diastolic filling, the elevated atrial pressure is transmitted to the LV during filling so that LV end-diastolic volume (and pressure) increases. This would cause the afterload to increase if it were not for the reduced outflow resistance (due to mitral regurgitation) that tends to decrease afterload during ejection.

7. Preload (cardiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(cardiology)

   The end diastolic pressure of the right ventricle can measured directly with a Swan-Ganz catheter. For the left ventricle, end diastolic pressure is most commonly estimated by taking the pulmonary wedge pressure, which is approximately equal to the pressure in the left atrium when the lungs are healthy. When the heart is healthy the diastolic ...
