What is the force measured during the heart's ventricular contractions called?
systolic pressure
What is PVC of the heart?
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing you to feel a fluttering or a skipped beat in your chest. Premature ventricular contractions are common — they occur in many people. They're also called: Premature ventricular complexes Ventricular premature beats Ventricular extrasystoles If you have occasional premature ventricular contractions, but you're otherwise healthy, there's probably no reason for concern, and no need for treatment. If you have frequent premature ventricular contractions or underlying heart disease, you might need treatment.
What is the medical term meaning a period of contraction within the heart?
Fibrillation is random inffectual contractions of the heart wall. It is called atrial fibrillation when it's in the upper chambers, and ventricular fibrillation when in the lower chambers of the heart.
The contraction of the ventricles is referred to as systole and the period of ventricular relaxation is called?
I believe that is called diastole, in contrast to systole, the contraction of the heart muscles.
What is a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
What is One pumping motion from the heart called?
Ventricular
The rhythmic contractions of the esophagus are called what?
Peristalsis is the term for the rhythmic contractions of the esophagus. These wavelike contractions move food toward the stomach.
Why are the internal walls of the ventricles not smooth?
The internal walls of the ventricles are not smooth due to the presence of structures called trabeculae carneae, which are irregular muscular ridges. These projections increase the surface area of the ventricular walls and contribute to the efficiency of heart contractions. Additionally, the rough texture helps prevent the adhesion of the heart valves to the ventricular walls during systole, ensuring proper function during the cardiac cycle.
What is a place for the dangerously ill called?
intensive care ward
What is the Lack of blood supply to heart resulting in rapid uncoordinated shuddering of the heart muscle called?
fibrillation
What is that movie called where cigarette case stops bullet?

What are the valves between the atria and the ventricles called?
Atrio-ventricular valves
