Cardiac pressor agents typically reduce the amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat. Cardiovascular hemodynamic principles can show whether such a response is physiologic or maladaptive. You have ...

Haemodynamic instability can be defined as perfusion failure, represented by clinical features of circulatory shock and advanced heart failure (Weil 2005). It may also be defined as 1 or more ...

Dynamic auscultation refers to using maneuvers to alter hemodynamic parameters during cardiac auscultation in order to diagnose the etiology of a heart sound or murmur. The Valsalva maneuver is ...

What are the clinical benefits of angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers in the setting of heart failure ...

The manner in which general anesthesia affects circulatory control was studied by examining the effects of commonly employed anesthetics on left ventricular function and distribution of cardiac output ...
