(20) The maintenance of adequate blood circulation requires a sufficient ventricular contractility; in addition, to eject blood, the ventricles must first receive a sufficient volume, requiring a low diastolic stiffness.
Expulsion
Definition:
(n.) The act of expelling; a driving or forcing out; summary removal from membership, association, etc.
(n.) The state of being expelled or driven out.
Example Sentences:

(3) Reductions in periesophageal EMG activity during expulsion were similar before and after cervical vagotomy, which abolishes reflex relaxation of the periesophageal diaphragm following esophageal distension.
(4) The Liberal Democrat investigation was carried out by Alistair Webster QC, who found it was not appropriate to charge Rennard with acting in a way that had brought the party into disrepute., which could have led to his expulsion expelled from the party.
(5) These findings were comparable to previously reported results of large studies, with the exception of partial expulsion.
(6) Primary immune expulsion of Trichuris muris was markedly delayed by concurrent infection with Nematospiroides dubius.
(7) Failures involve ending of pregnancy without expulsion (2.8%), and ongoing pregnancy (1.1%).
