HEART RATE : Number of heart beats per minute.
STROKE VOLUME : Amount of blood ejected from one ventricle in one beat.
END DIASTOLIC VOLUME : Amount of blood in the ventricle before contraction.
END SYSTOLIC VOLUME : Amount of blood remaining in the ventricle after contraction.
CARDIAC OUTPUT : Total amount of blood pumped by one ventricle per minute.
EJECTION FRACTION : Percentage of EDV that is ejected during systole.
BLOOD PRESSURE : Force of blood pushing against vessel walls.
TOTAL PERIPHERAL : Overall resistance to blood flow in systemic circulation. Determined mainly by arteriole diameter.
SYSTEMIC VASCULAR  : Another term for TPR; resistance in systemic arteries.
PULSE PRESSURE : Difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Formula:
PRELOAD : Amount of stretch in the ventricle before contraction (related to EDV).
AFTERLOAD : Resistance the ventricle must overcome to eject blood.
CONTRACTILITY : Strength of ventricular contraction.
VENOUS RETURN : Amount of blood returning to the heart. Affects preload and stroke volume.
