Actin

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments.

Adverse effect

In medicine, an adverse effect is an undesired harmful effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery.

New!!: Milrinone and Adverse effect · See more »

Afterload

Afterload is the pressure against which the heart must work to eject blood during systole.

New!!: Milrinone and Afterload · See more »

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

New!!: Milrinone and Calcium · See more »

Calcium channel

A calcium channel is an ion channel which shows selective permeability to calcium ions.

Cardiac muscle cell

Cardiac muscle cells or cardiomyocytes (also known as myocardiocytes or cardiac myocytes) are the muscle cells (myocytes) that make up the cardiac muscle (heart muscle).

New!!: Milrinone and Cardiac muscle cell · See more »

Cardiac output

Cardiac output (CO, also denoted by the symbols Q and \dot Q_), is a term used in cardiac physiology that describes the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by the left or right ventricle, per unit time.

Circulatory system

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Clinic

A clinic (or outpatient clinic or ambulatory care clinic) is a healthcare facility that is primarily focused on the care of outpatients.

New!!: Milrinone and Clinic · See more »

Contractility

Contractility refers to the ability for self-contraction, especially of the muscles, or similar active biological tissue.

New!!: Milrinone and Contractility · See more »

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Enzyme

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts.

New!!: Milrinone and Enzyme · See more »

Fatigue

Fatigue is a subjective feeling of tiredness that has a gradual onset.

New!!: Milrinone and Fatigue · See more »

Heart arrhythmia

Heart arrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia, dysrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat) is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow.

New!!: Milrinone and Heart arrhythmia · See more »

Heart failure

Heart failure (HF), often referred to as congestive heart failure (CHF), is when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs.

New!!: Milrinone and Heart failure · See more »

Heart rate

Heart rate is the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (bpm).

New!!: Milrinone and Heart rate · See more »

Myofilament

Myofilaments are the filaments of myofibrils, constructed from proteins, principally myosin or actin.

New!!: Milrinone and Myofilament · See more »

Myosin

Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.

New!!: Milrinone and Myosin · See more »

PDE3 inhibitor

A PDE3 inhibitor is a drug which inhibits the action of the phosphodiesterase enzyme PDE3.

New!!: Milrinone and PDE3 inhibitor · See more »

Phosphodiesterase

A phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond.

New!!: Milrinone and Phosphodiesterase · See more »

Phosphorylation

In chemistry, phosphorylation of a molecule is the attachment of a phosphoryl group.

New!!: Milrinone and Phosphorylation · See more »

Potassium

Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19.

New!!: Milrinone and Potassium · See more »

Protein kinase A

In cell biology, protein kinase A (PKANot to be confused with pKa, the symbol for the acid dissociation constant.) is a family of enzymes whose activity is dependent on cellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP).

New!!: Milrinone and Protein kinase A · See more »

Repolarization

In neuroscience, repolarization refers to the change in membrane potential that returns it to a negative value just after the depolarization phase of an action potential has changed the membrane potential to a positive value.

New!!: Milrinone and Repolarization · See more »

Syncope (medicine)

Syncope, also known as fainting, is a loss of consciousness and muscle strength characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery.

New!!: Milrinone and Syncope (medicine) · See more »

Vasodilation

Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels.

New!!: Milrinone and Vasodilation · See more »

Ventricle (heart)

A ventricle is one of two large chambers in the heart that collect and expel blood received from an atrium towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs.
