Spanish term

Volumen latido

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
Hello. I am translating a medical text where the term "volumen latido" is used alongside "volumen sistólico" in a lab report.

After doing some research, I found "stroke volume" and "stroke volume variation" as possible options; however, I also saw "stroke volume" translated as "volumen sistólico", so I am not sure.

Does anyone have any good sources that they could recommend me in order to look into this term further? Thank you!

El volumen de eyección o volumen latido es la cantidad de sangre que el corazón expulsa cada vez que se contrae.
Será por lo tanto, la diferencia entre el volumen de sangre que hay en el ventrículo al final de la diástole (volumen tele diastólico) y la cantidad de sangre que queda en el ventrículo cuando se cierra la válvula aórtica (volumen sistólico final).

Stroke volume
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cardiovascular physiology, stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat. Stroke volume is calculated using measurements of ventricle volumes from an echocardiogram and subtracting the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of a beat (called end-systolic volume) from the volume of blood just prior to the beat (called end-diastolic volume). The term stroke volume can apply to each of the two ventricles of the heart, although it usually refers to the left ventricle. The stroke volumes for each ventricle are generally equal, both being approximately 70 mL in a healthy 70-kg man.

Stroke volume is an important determinant of cardiac output, which is the product of stroke volume and heart rate, and is also used to calculate ejection fraction, which is stroke volume divided by end-diastolic volume. Because stroke volume increase in certain conditions and disease states, stroke volume itself correlates with cardiac function.
