  2. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    An increase in sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes the heart rate to increase, both by the direct action of sympathetic nerve fibers on the heart and by causing the endocrine system to release hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline), which have a similar effect. Increased sympathetic stimulation is usually due to physical or ...

  3. Hyperdynamic circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdynamic_circulation

    Hyperdynamic circulation is abnormally increased circulatory volume. Systemic vasodilation and the associated decrease in peripheral vascular resistance results in decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and decreased blood pressure, presenting usually with a collapsing pulse, but sometimes a bounding pulse.

  4. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value. [2] If the pulse pressure is extremely low, i.e. 25 mmHg or less, it may indicate low stroke volume, as in congestive heart failure. [3] The most common cause of a low (narrow) pulse pressure is a drop in left ventricular stroke volume.

  5. Vagal tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagal_tone

    This causes an increase in heart rate. [1] During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes, moving upward, and decreases the size of the chest cavity, causing an increase in intrathoracic pressure. This increase in pressure inhibits venous return to the heart resulting in both reduced atrial expansion and increased activation of baroreceptors. This ...

  6. Cardiac cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_cycle

    This short sharp change in pressure is rapidly attenuated down the arterial tree. The pulse wave form is also reflected from branches in the arterial tree and gives rise to a dicrotic notch in main arteries. The summation of the reflected pulse wave and the systolic wave may increase pulse pressure and help tissue perfusion.

  7. Coffee Isn't The Only Drink That Can Drive Your Heart Rate Up

    A fast heart rate could be caused by stress, a fever, caffeine, or a condition like hyperthyroidism and low blood pressure. Here's when you need to a see a doc.

  8. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

    The body compensates for volume loss by increasing heart rate and contractility, followed by baroreceptor activation resulting in sympathetic nervous system activation and peripheral vasoconstriction. Typically, there is a slight increase in the diastolic blood pressure with narrowing of the pulse pressure.

  9. Bainbridge reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainbridge_reflex

    The Bainbridge reflex (or Bainbridge effect or atrial reflex) is a cardiovascular reflex causing an increase in heart rate in response to increased stretching of the wall of the right atrium and/or the inferior vena cava as a result of increased venous filling (i.e., increased preload).
