  2. Coronary perfusion pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_perfusion_pressure

    Type 2 myocardial Infarctions (T2MI) result any time coronary flow is reduced secondary to a non-thrombotic cause. Because coronary flow is determined partly by coronary perfusion pressure, a reduction in CPP increases the risk of T2MI. Reduced CPP can be the result of a multitude of pathologies including cardiogenic shock and tachyarrythmia.

  3. Mean arterial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_arterial_pressure

    In medicine, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) is an average calculated blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle. [1] Although methods of estimating MAP vary, a common calculation is to take one-third of the pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures), and add that amount to the diastolic pressure.

  4. Cardiac index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_index

    Cardiac index is a critical parameter in evaluating cardiac performance and the adequacy of tissue perfusion. In healthy adults, the normal range of cardiac index is generally between 2.6 to 4.2 L/min/m². Values below this range may indicate hypoperfusion and are often seen in conditions such as heart failure, hypovolemia, and cardiogenic shock.

  5. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    Pulmonary pulse pressure is normally much lower than systemic blood pressure due to the higher compliance of the pulmonary system compared to the arterial circulation. [6] It is measured by right heart catheterization or may be estimated by transthoracic echocardiography. Normal pulmonary artery pressure is 8 mmHg–20 mmHg at rest. [7]

  6. Angina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

    Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is chest pain or pressure, usually caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium). [2] It is most commonly a symptom of coronary artery disease. [2] Angina is typically the result of partial obstruction or spasm of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. [3]

  7. Coronary arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_arteries

    The coronary arteries are mainly composed of the left and right coronary arteries, both of which give off several branches, as shown in the 'coronary artery flow' figure. Coronary artery flow Aorta. Left coronary artery. Left anterior descending artery; Left circumflex artery; Posterior descending artery; Ramus or intermediate artery; Right ...

  8. Coronary flow reserve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_flow_reserve

    Coronary flow reserve is used in diagnostics and treatment of patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease and syndrome X. [7] In the treatment of these conditions, vasodilators are used to allow sufficient blood to flow past a stenosis, for example, and the measurement of CFR enables the efficacy of such interventions to be measured.

  9. Framingham Risk Score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framingham_Risk_Score

    For example, nearly 30% of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in both men and women were singularly attributable to blood pressure levels that exceeded high normal (≥130/85), showing that blood pressure management and monitoring is paramount both to cardiovascular health and prediction of outcomes.
