venous return
121pulseless electrical activity — (PEA) continued electrical rhythmicity of the heart in the absence of effective mechanical function; it may be due to uncoupling of ventricular muscle contraction from electrical activity or may be secondary to cardiac damage with respiratory… …
122cardiac output curve — a graphic representation of cardiac output as a function of atrial pressure; it is a measure of the pumping ability of the heart under specific conditions. See also Starling c. and venous return c …
123Starling curve — a graphic representation of cardiac output, or other measure of ventricular performance, as a function of ventricular filling for a given level of contractility; as atrial pressure and venous return increase, cardiac output initially increases… …
124generalized edema — edema that is caused by poor venous return and is not localized by the effects of gravity, in contrast to dependent edema …
125transposition of great arteries — transposition of great vessels a congenital anomaly of the cardiovascular system in which the aorta arises entirely from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery from the left ventricle, so that the venous return from the peripheral… …

127PAPVR — • partial anomalous pulmonary venous return …
128PASVR — • pulmonary anomalous superior venous return …
