basic concepts
Preload
From muscle strip to ventricular chamber. Understand preload on the PV diagram.
Afterload
From muscle strip to ventricular chamber. Understand afterload on the PV diagram.
Contractility
From muscle strip to ventricular chamber. Review the characterization of contractility on the PV diagram.
Pericardial Physiology
Review the impact of the pericardium on hemodynamics and understand the consequence of a pericardial effusion and tamponade.
advanced concepts
Video lecture on "ECMO Hemodynamics"
Reviews the factors the determine Pven, Pint and Part, and how to diagnose circuit issues by interpreting changes in these values. The Harvi ECMO monitor TIN will be used to demonstrate this physiology.
