The pressure-volume and stiffness-pressure relations in the isolated rabbit left ventricle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A balloon was introduced into the isolated rabbit left ventricle with intraventricular volume being controlled by a feedback amplifier. Pressure-volume and stiffness-pressure relations were determined as intraventricular volume was changed. These ventricular relations were explained according to the theory of wall muscle mechanics.

Left Ventricular Active Stiffness: Dependency on Time and lnotropic State
Left ventricular systolic stiffness was measured by rapidly changing ventricular volume (within 7ms) of isovolumically contracting isolated rabbit hearts. Instantaneous pressure-volume relations were found to be linear with slopes that depended upon the moment during contraction at which the volume change was induced. These slopes were proportional to the total pressure developed in the ventric...
متن کاملDiastolic pressure-volume relationship in the canine left ventricle.
Analysis of the passive pressure-volume filling curve of the left ventricle demonstrates that heart size and ventricular geometry exert major effects on the pressure-volume curve in the absence of changes in intrinsic muscle stiffness. Because the pressure-volume relationship is curvilinear, both quantitative and qualitative comparison of pressure-volume curves from different hearts is difficul...
متن کاملThe Effects of Geometry, Elasticity, and External Pressures on the Diastolic Pressure-Volume and Stiffness-Stress Relations
The concept of an incremental elastic modulus is applied in the quantification of passive elastic stiffness-stress relations of intact heart muscle, and a transmural pressure-volume relation for the left ventricle is subsequently derived in terms of geometry, muscle elasticity, and external pressures to assess their importance. Physiological and clinical applications of this method indicate tha...

متن کاملMyocardial contractility and contraction duration are unrelated in the left ventricle with moderate pressure-overload hypertrophy.
Both myocardial contractility and contraction duration were assessed load-independently in isolated hypertrophic and control rat hearts. Hemodynamic parameters for isolated isovolumically contracting hearts were compared for 7 Wistar rats with DOCA-salt induced hypertrophy (LVH) and 7 controls. Loads were altered by changing the volume of an intraventricular balloon. Myocardial contractility wa...
