Systemic vascular resistance: an unreliable index of left ventricular afterload.
Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is a frequently used clinical index of left ventricular afterload. However, SVR may not adequately assess left ventricular afterload (i.e., ventricular internal fiber load during systole) since it reflects only peripheral vasomotor tone. In contrast, left ventricular end-systolic wall stress (sigma es) reflects the combined effects of peripheral loading condit...
متن کاملEffects of afterload on regional left ventricular torsion.
OBJECTIVE To determine if left ventricular torsion, as measured by magnetic resonance tissue tagging, is afterload dependent in a canine isolated heart model in which neurohumoral responses are absent, and preload is constant. METHODS In ten isolated, blood perfused, ejecting, canine hearts, three afterloads were studied, while keeping preload constant: low afterload, high afterload (stroke v...
متن کاملThe effect of resistance training on PI3K/mTORc1 signaling in left ventricular of diabetes rats
Background: Clinical evidence points to the effective role of genetic factors and intracellular signaling pathways in physiological cardiac hypertrophy. This study aimed to assess the response of PI3K/mTORc1 signaling pathway in cardiac tissue to resistance training in obese diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 21 male wistar rats (220±20 g) were obese by 6 weeks high fat di...
متن کاملReduced systemic arterial compliance impacts significantly on left ventricular afterload and function in aortic stenosis: implications for diagnosis and treatment.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine to what extent systemic arterial compliance (SAC) might impact on afterload and left ventricular (LV) function in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). BACKGROUND Although AS and reduced SAC may often coexist in the same patient, their relative impact on LV function is not well understood. METHODS Systemic arterial compliance was calculated as the ratio of st...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular wall stiffness: An important contributor to the increased right ventricular afterload with pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with structural and mechanical changes in the pulmonary vascular bed that increase right ventricular (RV) afterload. These changes, characterized by narrowing and stiffening, occur in both proximal and distal pulmonary arteries (PAs). An important consequence of arterial narrowing is increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Arterial stiffening, wh...
