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 ...

In such patients the simplest methods of measuring cardiac output are by thermodilution or using the Fick method. The latter requires estimation of oxygen consumption, which presents considerable ...

Increase cardiac output with inotropes (milrinone, dobutamine). Assess for vasospasm with transcranial dopplers, CT angiogram or cerebral angiogram. Hyperventilation to address possible reverse Robin ...

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.

Hemoglobin-based blood substitutes are being developed as oxygen-carrying agents for the prevention of ischemic tissue damage and hypovolemic (low blood volume) shock.

Cardiac output response and peripheral oxygen extraction during exercise among symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with and without left ventricular ...

The heart is electrically and mechanically controlled as a syncytium by the autonomic nervous system. The cardiac nervous system comprises the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and sensory nervous systems ...
