  2. Cardiac function curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_function_curve

    This allows the heart to cope with the required cardiac output at a relatively low right atrial pressure. We get what is known as a family of cardiac function curves, as the heart rate increases before the plateau is reached, and without the RAP having to rise dramatically to stretch the heart more and get the Starling effect.

    Ventricular pressure; Atrial pressure; Ventricular volume; Electrocardiogram; Arterial flow (optional) Heart sounds (optional) The Wiggers diagram clearly illustrates the coordinated variation of these values as the heart beats, assisting one in understanding the entire cardiac cycle. [1]

  4. Cardiac cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_cycle

    The heart is a four-chambered organ consisting of right and left halves, called the right heart and the left heart. The upper two chambers, the left and right atria , are entry points into the heart for blood-flow returning from the circulatory system , while the two lower chambers, the left and right ventricles , perform the contractions that ...

  5. Right atrial enlargement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_atrial_enlargement

    Other recognised causes are: right ventricular failure, tricuspid regurgitation, and atrial septal defect. [1] Right atrial enlargement (RAE) is clinically significant due to its prevalence in diagnosing supraventricular arrhythmias.

  6. Heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

    If a person with a failure of one ventricle lives long enough, it will tend to progress to failure of both ventricles. For example, left ventricular failure allows pulmonary edema and pulmonary hypertension to occur, which increases stress on the right ventricle. Though still harmful, right ventricular failure is not as deleterious to the left ...

  7. Junctional rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_rhythm

    The first finding is that junctional rhythms are regular rhythms. This means that the time interval between beats stays constant. The next normal finding is a normal QRS. Since the impulse still travels down the bundle of His, the QRS will not be wide. Junctional rhythms can present with either bradycardia, a normal heart rate, or tachycardia. [9]
