Late-systolic pumping properties of the left ventricle. Deviation from elastance-resistance behavior.
Elastance-resistance [E(t)-R] representations of the left ventricle (LV) were evaluated for their ability to reproduce instantaneous pressure [P(t)] and outflow [Q(t)]. Experiments were performed in open-chest rats. P(t) and Q(t) were measured during steady-state ejecting beats and during a beat in which the aorta was suddenly clamped. The degree of clamping varied from partial to total occlusi...
متن کاملAge-related changes in pumping mechanical behavior of rat ventricle in terms of systolic elastance and resistance.
Both the maximal systolic elastance (Emax) and the theoretical maximal flow (Qmax) can quantify the systolic mechanical behavior of the ventricular pump. Physically, Emax can reflect the intrinsic contractility of the myocardium as an intact heart. The quantity in (Qmax is inversely related to the internal resistance of the left ventricle. How great the effects of age are on these Emax and Qmax...
متن کاملNormal Value of Left Ventricular End-Systolic Elastance in Infants and Children
Background: In certain conditions, there is a need for a specific and improved measure of cardiac performance. Routine methods for assessing left ventricular (LV) function are based on image-analysis or right heart monitoring which do not allow evaluation of ventriculo-arterial interaction. Chen et al presented a noninvasive method allowing measurement of end-systolic pressure–volume relation ...
متن کاملHeart rate-independent vagal effect on end-systolic elastance of the canine left ventricle under various levels of sympathetic tone.
BACKGROUND Although we have shown that in rabbits the direct (heart rate [HR]-independent) vagal effect on left ventricular end-systolic elastance (E(es)) was negligible under minimal sympathetic tone, how underlying sympathetic tone modulates the inotropic response to vagal stimulation remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We used an isolated canine heart preparation with functioning autonomi...
متن کاملArterial and left ventricular end-systolic elastance in normal children.
OBJECTIVE Assessing the left ventricular (LV) functions in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and those pediatric patients with compromised ventricular performance or enhanced systolic or diastolic load e.g. congestive heart failure, hypertension, dilated/hypertrophic cardiomyopathies is a real challenge. Currently used noninvasive methods fail giving quantitative measures to asses cardiac performa...
