väljutusmahtu
Väljutusmahtu, often translated as ejection volume or discharge volume, is a term used in medicine, particularly in cardiology, to describe the amount of blood pumped out of a ventricle of the heart during each contraction. It is a crucial parameter for assessing the heart's pumping efficiency and overall function.
In a healthy heart, the left ventricle ejects a significant portion of its blood volume with each
A reduced väljutusmahtu can indicate impaired contractility of the heart muscle, often seen in conditions such
Measurement of väljutusmahtu is commonly performed using echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart), cardiac MRI, or cardiac
