Significance of abnormal phase II response to Valsalva maneuver in cardiac patients.

چکیده
Abnormal responses to a standardized Valsalva maneuver have been proposed as additional Criteria for heart failure. The present study was undertaken to determine the variability of these responses in normal subjects as well as frequency of abnormal responses in cardiac patients. Only phase II responses could be considered reliable for this purpose. Discrepancies between phase II responses were observed in relation to other criteria.

Effects of the Valsalva maneuver on myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease.
The influence of the Valsalva maneuver (VM) on myocardial ischemia was evaluated in 24 patients with coronary heart disease. Clinical and hemodynamic responses to the VM were studied during acute ischemia manifested by angina pectoris with transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and compared with responses during nonischemic intervals. In the absence of evidence for acute ischemia (angina a...
متن کاملCirculatory changes produced by the Valsalva maneuver in normal subjects, patients with mitral stenosis, and autonomic nervous system alterations.
The cardiac output has been measured during the immediate post-Valsalva maneuver recovery period in normal subjects, patients with clinically significant mitral stenosis, and patients with alterations of the autonomic nervous system. When compared with the resting value, it was found that normal subjects had a decrease in cardiac output during the immediate post-Valsalva recovery period, while ...
متن کاملComparison of the effectiveness of tourniquet and Valsalva maneuver in relieving pain caused by propofol injection to induce general anesthesia: A double-blind randomized clinical trial
Introduction: Propofol is one of the most common anesthetic drugs. Painful injection with a reported prevalence of 28 to 90% in various studies is one of the problems of taking Propofol. The present study investigated the effect of performing the Valsalva maneuver and tourniquet twisting on pain intensity and hemodynamic changes. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was performed on 105 p...
متن کاملComparison of three methods of Valsalva maneuver, lidocaine, and Valsalva maneuvers along with administration of lidocaine to reduce the pain associated with administration of Propofol
Background: Propofol is commonly used in anesthesia practice because of its rapid recovery time, but pain upon injection is one of the unfavorable complications of this drug, which can cause both physical and mental discomfort for patients. Therefore, it is important to lower the pain on injection of Propofol in patients undergoing anesthesia. As a result, the current study was conducted in ord...
متن کاملValsalva termination of ventricular tachycardia.
Nine patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) that could be repeatedly terminated by a Valsalva maneuver are described. In two, the tachycardia would cease for only a few seconds and then resume, whereas in seven, the tachycardia could be permanently and reproducibly terminated with a Valsalva maneuver. In all patients the tachycardia ended during the strain phase of the Valsalva ma...
