It is known as stroke volume.

Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped by the right/left ventricle of the heart in one contraction.

The stroke volume is not all of the blood contained in the left ventricle. The heart does not pump all the blood out of the ventricle. Normally, only about two-thirds of the blood in the ventricle is put out with each beat. What blood is actually pumped from the left ventricle is the stroke volume and it, together with the heart rate, determines the cardiac output.

It's called Ejection Fraction. Usually > 60% is considered normal. This usually refers to the left ventricle's output.

What is the amount of blood ejected by the ventricle prior to the systole called?

Your answer is EDS - End Diastole Volume Keep in mind, there is a period of isovolumic contraction which is the first part of systole and during that phase no blood is actually ejected because the pressure in the ventricle hasn't exceeded the pressure in the aorta (I'm assuming we're talking about the left ventricle)

What is the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta of the heart called?

Aortic insufficiency (AI), also known as aortic regurgitation (AR) is what is called when blood flows in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle.

Where does the pulmonary valve lie between?

The right atrium and the left atrium. It actually lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, where it prevents the backflow of blood from the artery back into the heart during diastole (the resting period of the heartbeat)


What blood measurements are taken of the left ventricle during a cardiac catheterization?
