Document Summary

The right side of the heart sends blood out to the lungs the left sends it out to the rest of the body. About the size of a clenched fist. Superior and inferior vena cava and coronary sinus. Cardiac output (co) = the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute. V=(cid:862)stroke volu(cid:373)e(cid:863) or the amount of blood pumped by a ventricle in a single beat (avg=70) Hr=(cid:862)heart rate(cid:863) or (cid:374)u(cid:373)ber of beats per (cid:373)i(cid:374)ute. Cardiovascular disease (cvd: congestive heart failure, high blood pressure / hypertension, peripheral artery disease (pad, atherosclerosis (clogged artery) Inner layers of the arteries become irregular and thick due to the accumulation of plaque. Coronary heart disease (chd: a condition where the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked. Tissue death (infarction) to part of the heart muscle (myocardium) due to insufficient blood flow. Angina: chest pain or discomfort caused by restricted blood supply to the heart.
