It has been seen that in cases of severe hypotension, it can weaken the heart's ability to contract, further pushing the reduction of cardiac output and leading ... due to insufficient oxygen and ...

However, although hypovolemia has a negative impact on oxygen delivery, excessive plasma expansion is just as harmful, as it does not induce any increase of cardiac output and induces interstitial ...

NFL super-agent Leigh Steinberg opens up about the brain trauma crisis in football and his mission to protect athletes ...

BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

Muscle cramps and weakness are often linked to neurological or muscular diseases like multiple sclerosis or ALS. However, ...

It should however be noted, that increasing cardiac output/oxygen delivery in patients with adequate organ perfusion serves no useful purpose.

Objective Reduction of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) often improves symptoms in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but the correlation between exercise performance and measured ...

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and predictive value of performance parameters, measured by a new novel submaximal cycle protocol, on peak power and endurance ...

An adaptive algorithm (CAMAC, control advance moving average controller) to control multiinput/multioutput physiological systems has been implemented and tested. The algorithm is a self-tuning ...

PerDeCT is designed to monitor cardiac patients after surgery and provide early diagnosis of tamponade allowing a planned return to surgery to drain fluid and clots around the heart. The device ...

The determination of cardiac output and central blood volume is of considerable importance, not only in cardiac research but in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. At present, the most ...
