blood flow‚ pressure gradient‚ and resistance relate to one another. To understand this‚ resistance and contributing factors‚ such as vessel radius‚ viscosity‚ and vessel length must be studied. The effects of vessel radius and stroke volume on the ventricular pump should also examined. The experiment also calls for an understanding of cardiovascular compensation. Pump mechanics are further understood through a design of further experiments. The Cardiovascular Physiology experiment attempts to understand

Introduction Cardiac transplantation‚ also called heart transplantation‚ has evolved into the treatment of choice for many people with severe heart failure (HF) who have severe symptoms despite maximum medical therapy. Survival among cardiac transplant recipients has improved as a result of improvements in treatments that suppress the immune system and prevent infection.

EXTERNAL VIEW SURFACE VIEW OF HEART Position‚ Shape and Size of the Heart: The human heart is located between the lungs in the thoracic cavity (i.e. it is not situated on the left side of the chest). The heart is a hollow‚ fibro-muscular organ and is somewhat conical in shape. It is about the size of one’s fist‚ measures about 12 cm in length and 9 cm in breadth. Its weight is about 300 g in an adult. The heart is enclosed in pericardium (a double- layered membranous sac). It protects the

measures the pressure in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts. Diastolic blood pressure‚ the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the ventricles relax and refill with blood just before the next ventricular contraction. We measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. To measure the systolic pressure‚ place the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm and inflate the cuff until blood flow in the brachial artery is stopped. Then we

This electrical signal occurs before the mechanical action of the ventricles contracting (called ventricular systole). This systole begins at the peak of the R wave and ends at the end of the T wave. Repolarization of the ventricles is demonstrated by
