The study of the forces and motions involved in the heart's function, including how blood is pumped and circulates.
From cardio- (Greek kardia, 'heart') + dynamics (from Greek dynamis, 'power' or 'force'). Modern medical term from 20th-century cardiology studying mechanical heart function.
Cardiodynamics reveals that your heart doesn't just pump like a simple pump—the twisting motion of the ventricles, the timing of valve closure, and the elastic recoil of the aorta all work together in a sophisticated dance of physics!
