  2. Central venous pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_pressure

    Central venous pressure (CVP) is the blood pressure in the venae cavae, near the right atrium of the heart.CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood back into the arterial system.

  3. Cost–volume–profit analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost–volume–profit...

    Cost–volume–profit (CVP), in managerial economics, is a form of cost accounting. It is a simplified model, useful for elementary instruction and for short-run ...

  4. Venous return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_return

    The horizontal axis of Guyton diagram represents right atrial pressure or central venous pressure, and the vertical axis represents cardiac output or venous return. The red curve sloping upward to the right is the cardiac output curve, and the blue curve sloping downward to the right is the venous return curve. A steady state is formed at the ...

  5. Cardiac function curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_function_curve

    The horizontal axis of Guyton diagram represents right atrial pressure or central venous pressure, and the vertical axis represents cardiac output or venous return. The red curve sloping upward to the right is the cardiac output curve, and the blue curve sloping downward to the right is the venous return curve. A steady state is formed at the ...

  6. Contribution margin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contribution_margin

    In Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis, where it simplifies calculation of net income and, especially, break-even analysis.. Given the contribution margin, a manager can easily compute breakeven and target income sales, and make better decisions about whether to add or subtract a product line, about how to price a product or service, and about how to structure sales commissions or bonuses.

  7. 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.

  8. Coronary perfusion pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_perfusion_pressure

    Coronary Vasculature. Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) refers to the pressure gradient that drives coronary blood pressure.The heart's function is to perfuse blood to the body; however, the heart's own myocardium (heart muscle) must, itself, be supplied for its own muscle function.

  9. Right atrial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_atrial_pressure

    CVP and RAP can differ when venous tone (i.e the degree of venous constriction) is altered. This can be graphically depicted as changes in the slope of the venous return plotted against right atrial pressure (where central venous pressure increases, but right atrial pressure stays the same; VR = CVP − RAP).
