End diastolic volume the amount of blood at the end of diastole that each ventricle has filled up with. Systemic Arterial Blood Pressure is the force of blood pressure on the arterial walls just after ventricular contraction. Cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected from the left or right ventricle
