Left ventricular function: time-varying elastance and left ventricular aortic coupling
Many aspects of left ventricular function are explained by considering ventricular pressure-volume characteristics. Contractility is best measured by the slope, Emax, of the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship. Ventricular systole is usefully characterized by a time-varying elastance (ΔP/ΔV). An extended area, the pressure-volume area, subtended by the ventricular pressure-volume loop (us...
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 کاملAORTO-LEFT VENTRICULAR TUNNEL. A CASE REPORT WITH AORTIC PRESSURE AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS
A seven-year-old girl with clinical diagnosis of aortic insufficiency underwent echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluation and referred for surgery with the same diagnosis. However, at surgery, aorto-Ieft ventricular tunnel was found and repaired successfully. Review of echocardiogram and catheterization data revealed interesting findings to differentiate this rare entity from congenital...
متن کاملStandardization of Left Ventricular Chamber Elastance Necessary?
Because of the relation between left ventricular (LV) chamber elastance and heart size, it has been hypothesized that maximum time-varying elastance (Emax) must be standardized to differentiate between preserved and depressed LV systolic performance. To test this hypothesis, we studied 66 patients, ofwhom 25 had a normal LV, 20 had aortic regurgitation, 14 had mitral regurgitation, and seven ha...
متن کاملLeft ventricular time varying elastance behavior does not reflect a basic property of cardiac muscle.
The article of Hisano and Cooper raises once again the seemingly unresolved question on the myocardial basis for the time varying elastance behavior of the left ventricle, a concept formalized by Suga et al in 1973. From their experiments, Hisano and Cooper conclude that "the correlation of pressurevolume area with oxygen consumption on the ventricular level arises from a basic property of card...
