front 1 Blood pressure (BP) | back 1 Pressure in blood vessels at systole and diastole. |
front 2 Mean arterial pressure (MAP) | back 2 Average pressure over 1 cardiac cycle. Is a good estimation of perfusion to organs. |
front 3 Pulse pressure (PP) | back 3 Difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. |
front 4 Cardiac output (CO) | back 4 The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in 1 minute (measured in Liters). |
front 5 Cardiac index (CI) | back 5 Cardiac output divided by body surface area. |
front 6 Stroke volume (SV) | back 6 The amount of blood ejected with each ventricular contraction. |
front 7 Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) | back 7 The amount of pressure the left ventricle has to push against to eject blood to the body during systole. |
front 8 Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) | back 8 The amount of pressure the right ventricle has to push against to eject blood to the lungs during systole. |
front 9 Central venous pressure (CVP) | back 9 Same as RAP. Measurement of right atrial pressure, which directly corresponds with fluid status. Normal is 2-6 mmHg. |
front 10 Right ventricular pressure (RVP) | back 10 Pressure in right ventricle during systole and diastole. Normal is 15-25/0-8 mmHg. |
front 11 Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) | back 11 Pressures in pulmonary artery during systole and diastole. Normal is 15-25/8-15(10-20) mmHg. |
front 12 Pulmonary occlusion pressure (PAOP) or "wedge" pressure | back 12 Pressure in the pulmonary artery during diastole, which directly corresponds with LVEDP (estimate of left ventricular preload). Normal is 4-12 mmHg. |
