Figure 21. Coarctation of the aorta. (A & B) are cine steady-state free precession images at end-diastole and mid-systole, respectively, demonstrating the Coa and the jet of turbulence (arrows).

Conclusions— Capillaries were relatively resistant to the systolic extravascular compression compared with pre- and post-capillary microvessels, conveniently beneficial for the myocardial oxygen ...

The objective of this paper was to investigate texture feature variability in ultrasound video of the carotid artery during the cardiac cycle in an attempt to define new discriminatory biomarkers of ...

Diastole and systole are two phases of the cardiac cycle. They occur as the heart beats, pumping blood through a system of blood vessels that carry blood to every part of the body.

The cardiac cycle is a precise sequence of events the heart muscle performs during each heartbeat. A single cardiac cycle consists of two components— systole and diastole. Systole occurs when the ...

Hypertension: Chronic hypertension is one of the most common causes of diastolic heart failure. High blood pressure over a long period of time means the heart has to work harder to pump blood ...

Aims Blood pressure (BP) is a crucial factor in cardiovascular health and can affect cardiac imaging assessments. However, standard outpatient cardiovascular MR (CMR) imaging procedures do not ...

The difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (120 minutes 80) equals 40, which is the pulse pressure. Experts consider 40 mmHg to be the ideal pulse pressure.

The cardiac cycle is the performance of the human heart from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next. It consists of two periods: one during which the heart muscle relaxes and ...

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a key reading doctors use to assess blood flow through your body. It’s related to your systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings but accounts for flow and ...
