Noninvasive assessment of ejection intraventricular pressure gradients.
OBJECTIVES The study was designed to validate in vivo a new method to measure ejection intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPGs) by processing color M-mode Doppler data and to assess the effects of inotropic interventions on IVPGs in the clinical setting. BACKGROUND In the absence of obstruction, ejection IVPGs cannot be estimated by Doppler using the simplified Bernoulli equation. METHOD...
متن کاملDoppler-derived ejection intraventricular pressure gradients provide a reliable assessment of left ventricular systolic chamber function.
BACKGROUND Ejection intraventricular pressure gradients are caused by the systolic force developed by the left ventricle (LV). By postprocessing color Doppler M-mode (CDMM) images, we can measure noninvasively the ejection intraventricular pressure difference (EIVPD) between the LV apex and the outflow tract. This study was designed to assess the value of Doppler-derived EIVPDs as noninvasive i...
متن کاملNoninvasive estimation of the rate of relaxation by the analysis of intraventricular pressure gradients.
BACKGROUND During late ejection, myocardial relaxation causes systolic flow to decelerate and stop, and this phenomenon is coupled with the generation of a pressure gradient inside the left ventricle (LV). We hypothesized that the peak reverse ejection intraventricular pressure difference (REIVPD) between the LV apex and the outflow tract could be a useful method to improve the assessment of LV...
متن کاملIntraventricular pressure gradients in heart failure.
The aim of the present study was to characterize intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPGs) in an animal model of chronic heart failure. New Zealand rabbits were treated with doxorubicin (heart failure group, n=5) or saline (control group, n=5) and instrumented with pressure catheters placed in the apex and outflow-tract of left ventricle (LV) and with sonomicrometer crystals placed in the ape...
متن کاملNonobstructive left ventricular ejection pressure gradients in man.
Simultaneous intraventricular pressure gradients and ejection flow patterns were measured by a multisensor catheter in 6 patients with normal left ventricular function and no valve abnormalities, at rest and in exercise. Peak measured intraventricular pressure gradients were attained very early in ejection, amounted to 6.7 +/- 1.9 (SD) mm Hg at rest, and were intensified to 13.0 +/- 2.3 mm Hg d...
