Ventricle (heart) heart pumping volume is ~5 liters/min, resting. Maximum capacity pumping volume extends from ~25 liters/min for non-athletes to as high as ~45 liters/min for Olympic level athletes. In cardiology, the performance of the ventricles are measured with several volumetric parameters, including end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (E). Ventricular pressure is a measure of blood pressure within the ventricles of the heart. During most of the cardiac cycle, ventricular pressure is less than the pressure in the aorta, but during systole, the ventricular pressure rapidly increases, and the two pressures become equal to each
Map of the Human Heart Map of the Human Heart Map of the Human Heart (also called Carte du Tendre and La Carte du Tendre ) is a 1993 film by New Zealand director Vincent Ward. The script for "Map of the Human Heart" was written by Australian author Louis Nowra, using a 10-page treatment Ward had written a year earlier as his guide.
