BODY FUNCTIONS

CHAPTER 4 FUNCTIONS OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR, HAEMATOLOGICAL, IMMUNOLOGICAL AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS functions of the cardiovascular system b410 heart functions Functions of pumping the blood in adequate or required amounts and pressure throughout the body. Inclusion functions of heart rate, rhythm and output; contraction force of ventricular muscles; functions of heart valves; pumping the blood through the pulmonary circuit; dynamics of circulation to the heart; impairments such as tachycardia, bradycardia and irregular heart beat and as in heart failure, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and coronary insufficiency, exclusion blood vessel functions (b415); blood pressure functions (b420); exercise tolerance functions (b455)

heart rate	heart rhythm	contration force of ventricular muscles	blood supply to the heart	heart functions, other specified	heart functions, unspecified
Functions related to the number of times the heart contracts every minute. inclusion impairments such as rates that are too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia)	Functions related to the regularity of the beating of the heart. inclusion impairments such as arrhythmias	Functions related to the amount of blood pumped by the ventricular muscles during every beat. inclusion impairments such as in diminished cardiac output	Functions related to the volume of blood available to the heart muscle. inclusion impairments such as in coronary ischaemia
