Question – What do you understand regarding the term Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure?

Answer – It’s a profile in which the heart is unable to maintain the adequate cardiac debt.

Solved!!! Now it's clear...
The cardiac output is measured by the ejection fraction. ;-)
thanks a lot all...the text was transcribed from bad quality tapes and therefore without listening to the original tapes is a bit hard to guess 'typos'...

Your answer is below - Bilingual...I removed the answer to English and placed it in Spanish, so I can't retrieve the first. 19:46:20 GMT I added the answer in English. Sue's right, it's "Cardiac output".
Sorry!!! My mistake... The language pair is Portuguese into English - this is what happens when we don't sleep and work for 24 hours...;-)
Thanks a lot for brightening my mind.
Dr Sue Levy (X) Feb 2, 2007:
cardiac debt? I think you might mean cardiac output. This isn't finance :-)
Irina Dicovsky - MD (X) Feb 2, 2007:
Afinal de contas: o par é Portuguese Spanish ou Portuguese English??
Irina Dicovsky - MD (X) Feb 2, 2007:
Oi, além de estar errado o idioma é um "typo", mas ainda não consegui descobrir qual é. Débito Cardíaco é o volume de sangue que é bombeado pelo coração no sistema circulatório, por minuto.
Creo que confundiste los pares: Debe ser portugués en lugar de español... Gracias

Fracción de eyección

Fracción de eyección
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Saltar a navegación, búsqueda

La fracción de eyección de un corazón es la medida más importante del funcionamiento cardíaco. Este valor, expresado en porcentaje, mide la disminución del volumen del ventrículo izquierdo del corazón en sístole, con respecto a la diástole.

Es decir, que una fracción de eyección del 50% significa que el corazón, al contraerse, reduce el volúmen de su ventrículo izquierdo a la mitad, con respecto a su posición relajada.

Los valores normales de fracciones de eyección están por encima de 50%. Valores entre 40% y 50% pueden significar un principio de insuficiencia cardíaca. Valores menores de 30% indican una insuficiencia moderada. Valores menores de 10% indican una insuficiencia alta con necesidad de transplante cardíaco inminente.

A expressão correta em portugués é "FRAÇÃO DE EJEÇÃO"

IN ENGLISH:
Ejection Fraction

Gessão is a typo for "ejeção".

Ejection fraction: What does it measure?
During each heartbeat cycle, the heart contracts and relaxes. When your heart contracts (systole), it ejects blood from the two pumping chambers (ventricles). When your heart relaxes (diastole), the ventricles refill with blood. No matter how forceful the contraction, it doesn't empty all of the blood out of a ventricle. The term "ejection fraction" refers to the percentage of blood that's pumped out of a filled ventricle with each heartbeat. This measures the capacity at which your heart is pumping.

Because the left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber, ejection fraction is usually measured only in the left ventricle (LV). A normal LV ejection fraction is 55 percent to 70 percent. The ejection fraction may decrease when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as due to:

Fração de Ejeção : representa o percentual do volume ventricular diastólico final que foi ejetado na sístole.

Note: Cardiac output is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular a ventricle in a minute. It is equal to the heart rate multiplied by the stroke volume.
