  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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiggers_diagram

    A Wiggers diagram, named after its developer, Carl Wiggers, is a unique diagram that has been used in teaching cardiac physiology for more than a century. [1] [2] In the Wiggers diagram, the X-axis is used to plot time subdivided into the cardiac phases, while the Y-axis typically contains the following on a single grid: Blood pressure. Aortic ...

  4. Aortic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_pressure

    Central aortic pressure (CAP), central aortic blood pressure (CABP), or central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) is the blood pressure at the root of aorta.Studies have shown the importance of central aortic pressure, especially as compared to peripheral blood pressure, and its implications in assessing the efficacy of antihypertensive treatment with respect to cardiovascular risk factors ...

  5. Coronary circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_circulation

    As a result, most myocardial perfusion occurs during heart relaxation when the subendocardial coronary vessels are open and under lower pressure. Flow never comes to zero in the right coronary artery, since the right ventricular pressure is less than the diastolic blood pressure. [6]

  6. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    Aortic pressure, also called central aortic blood pressure, or central blood pressure, is the blood pressure at the root of the aorta. Elevated aortic pressure has been found to be a more accurate predictor of both cardiovascular events and mortality, as well as structural changes in the heart, than has peripheral blood pressure (such as ...

  7. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    Pulse pressure is calculated as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. [3] [4]The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to elasticity) of the aorta.
