Summary © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Hemodynamics is concerned with the mechanical and physiologic properties controlling

blood pressure and flow through the body. This chapter presents basic principles that Keywords
are helpful in understanding hemodynamics. Kinetic energy is negligible compared to
blood pressure at normal cardiac output (CO) and thus blood flow is estimated using blood flow cardiac index

the pressure gradient and resistance. The primary parameter used in clinical medicine cardiac output
to describe blood flow through the systemic circulation is CO, which is the total volume
cardiovascular hemodynamics
of blood pumped by the ventricle per minute. To compare CO among individuals of
different sizes, the cardiac index (CI) is used. The Frank‐Starling law helps the heart Frank‐Starling law

match CO to venous return. While changes in venous return cause a ventricle to move normal venous system
along a single Frank‐Starling curve, changes in contractility and afterload cause the
Poiseuille's law pressure gradient
heart to shift to a different Frank‐Starling curve.
