End-systolic volume (ESV) is the volume of blood in a ventricle at the end of contraction, or systole, and the beginning of filling, or diastole. ESV is the lowest volume of blood in the ventricle at any point in the cardiac cycle. The main factors that affect the end-systolic volume are afterload and the contractility of the heart. ==Uses== End s...

the volume of blood remaining in each ventricle at the end of systole, usually about 50–60 mL but sometimes as little as 10–30 mL in the normal heart; it is the difference between the end-diastolic volume and the stroke volume and is determined by the contractility of the ventricles and the state of the venous system.
