End-diastolic volume — In cardiovascular physiology, end diastolic volume (EDV) is the volume of blood in a ventricle at the end of filling (diastole). Because greater EDVs cause greater distention of the ventricle, EDV is often used synonymously with preload , which… … Wikipedia

end-diastolic volume — (EDV) the volume of blood in each ventricle at the end of diastole, usually about 120–130 mL but sometimes reaching 200–250 mL in the normal heart; it is a measure of preload (q.v.) and is the sum of the stroke volume and the end systolic… … Medical dictionary

End-systolic volume — (ESV) is the volume of blood in the left ventricle at the end of contraction, or systole, and the beginning of filling, or diastole. End systolic volume can be used clinically as a measurement of the adequacy of cardiac emptying, related to… … Wikipedia
end-systolic volume — (ESV) the volume of blood remaining in each ventricle at the end of systole, usually about 50–60 mL but sometimes as little as 10–30 mL in the normal heart; it is the difference between the end diastolic volume and the stroke volume and is… … Medical dictionary
