Explanation

End-diastolic volume is a term used in medicine to describe the amount of blood that collects in a heart's main pumping chamber at the end of its relaxation phase. This is the period when the heart is filled up with blood and is just about to contract to pump blood out to the rest of the body. The volume of blood at this stage is important because it can affect how much blood the heart can pump out, and it can also indicate certain heart conditions.
