Estimation of cardiac output in patients with congestive heart failure by analysis of right ventricular pressure waveforms
BACKGROUND Cardiac output (CO) is an important determinant of the hemodynamic state in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). We tested the hypothesis that CO can be estimated from the right ventricular (RV) pressure waveform in CHF patients using a pulse contour cardiac output algorithm that considers constant but patient specific RV outflow tract characteristic impedance. METHOD In 1...
متن کاملTricuspid incompetence and right ventricular output in congestive heart failure.
Studies of the right atrial pressure and flow curves in patients with cardiac failure show that with a venous pressure of more than 8 mm. Hg, increasing amounts of functional tricuspid regurgitation may occur (Muller and Shillingford, 1954; Korner and Shillingford, 1954). If the forward flow is maintained, backflow through the valve will add a variable amount to the right ventricular stroke vol...
متن کاملCONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS
During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Pacing In Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) using biventricular (BIV) pacing has proved its effectiveness to correct myocardial asynchrony and improve clinical status of patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF) and widened QRS. Despite a different effect on left ventricular electrical dispersion, left univentricular (LV) pacing is able to achieve the same mechanical synchronisation as BI...
