Flow is the amount of blood flowing through an organ, tissue or vessel at a given time. Perfusion is the flow per given volume or mass of tissue. Thus a large organ could have greater flow but less perfusion then a small one such as an ovary because the ovary receives much more blood per gram of tissue.

What is wasted perfusion?

Wasted perfusion refers to blood flow that does not contribute effectively to tissue oxygenation or metabolism. This can occur in conditions such as shock, where blood flow is directed away from vital organs, leading to tissue hypoperfusion despite adequate total blood flow. Monitoring markers of tissue perfusion, such as lactate levels, can help assess the degree of wasted perfusion.

What is transmural perfusion pressure?

Transmural perfusion pressure represents the amount of pressure in the coronary arteries that supply the layers of the heart muscle (the TRANSMURAL part). The formula is: Aortic diastolic pressure - LVEDP (L Ventricle End Diastolic Pressure). Keep in mind the coronaries ONLY receive blood during diastole because of the twisting forces applied on the heart during systole.

What is tissue perfusion?

Blood flow and tissue perfusion are NOT the same thing. An increase in blood flow does not always mean that there is a parallel increase in tissue perfusion. While blood flow is generally understood as an increase in the total amount of blood flowing into an anatomic structure or region, tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that actually flow through the capillaries of the vascular bed of that structure or region. The important thing to remember is that nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells via the capillaries.
