In medicine, cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped from the heart through the entire circulatory system in one minute. It thus represents the unit of measurement for the heart‘s pumping function and is also referred to as cardiac output. Cardiac output is obtained by multiplying the heart rate by the cardiac output. What … Cardiac Output: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Spontaneous depolarization is characterized by a spontaneous reduction in membrane potential at the cell membrane. Depolarization serves to transmit electrical impulses from nerve or muscle cells. Thus, the pacemaker position of the sinus node is based on spontaneous depolarization of cardiac muscle cells. What is spontaneous depolarization? A spontaneous depolarization is characterized by a spontaneous … Spontaneous Depolarization: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
A cardiac catheter used for right ventricular catheterization that determines cardiac output in addition to measuring pressure is known as a Swan-Ganz catheter. The balloon catheter is inserted into the right ventricle and pulmonary artery via central nervous access. It is applied primarily in intensive care monitoring. What is a Swan-Ganz catheter? The Swan-Ganz catheter … Swan-Ganz Catheter: Application & Health Benefits

It is available by prescription and under various trade names, predominantly in tablet form and also as an infusion. What is amantadine? Amantadine finds use as an active ingredient in influenza A as well as Parkinson’s disease. The drug amantadine … Amantadine: Effects, Uses & Risks
The rate at which the heart contracts is called the pulse. It depends on the current physical activity, the training condition and other factors. The so-called resting pulse is usually determined. This is the pulse at absolute physical rest, for example before getting up in bed. Adults have an average resting pulse rate of 70 … Low blood pressure and low pulse – These are the causes
Accompanying symptoms Almost everyone has experienced symptoms of low blood pressure or pulse. Typical are the classic “circulatory problems” after getting up too quickly, such as dizziness or the feeling that you are getting black before your eyes. They occur when blood in the body sinks as a result of getting up, making it difficult … Accompanying symptoms | Low blood pressure and low pulse – These are the causes
Diagnosis Measuring the pulse is relatively simple. You feel the pulse at an artery, usually below the ball of the thumb on the wrist. By counting the beats within a period of time, the number of beats per minute can be calculated. Measuring blood pressure is somewhat more complicated and is possible with a pressure … Diagnosis | Low blood pressure and low pulse – These are the causes
Prognosis for low blood pressure and pulse How long a low blood pressure or pulse lasts also depends on the causes. Many diseases that have an influence on blood pressure or pulse can usually be treated well. These include above all hypothyroidism or heart failure. For both diseases there are well effective and proven drugs … Prognosis for low blood pressure and pulse | Low blood pressure and low pulse – These are the causes
Chronic infantile neuro-cutaneo-articular syndrome (CINCA syndrome) is an autoinflammatory disorder that causes a spurious inflammatory response in the body. The syndrome manifests itself in infancy, including fever, pain, and neurological symptoms. Treatment is with the help of drugs that reduce the protein interleukin-1β. What is CINCA syndrome? The term chronic infantile neuro-cutaneo-articular syndrome (CINCA syndrome) … CINCA Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Aprotinin is an antifibrinolytic and as such has an inhibitory effect on the cleavage of the protein fibrin (i.e., on fibrinolysis). Because of this property, it is found in tissue adhesives. Indications include operations to create a coronary artery bypass and the very rare alpha2-antiplasmin deficiency, which is genetically determined. Because of potential risks of … Aprotinin: Effects, Uses & Risks
Pyridostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and is used for therapy in myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness). Pyridostigmine is also used for urinary retention and bowel paralysis resulting from decreased muscle tone. Pharmacologically, it is applied as a bromide salt in the form of tablets. What is pyridostigmine? Pyridostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and is used for … Pyridostigmine: Effects, Uses & Risks
