The Determination of Cardiac Output by the Dilution Method without Arterial Sampling
نویسنده
چکیده
The selection of an external site for a radioisotope determination of cardiac output is discussed with respect to satisfying the analytical conditions of the Stewart-Hamilton dilution equation. Examples of both single-chamber and multichamber recording are illustrated, along with a discussion of the difficulties of curve calibration and extrapola. tion from multiple sites. The development of a method independent of critical placement or patient variability is described.

mHE indicator-dilution method has been widely employed for determination of cardiac output since its introduction by Stewart' and Hamilton and associates.2 The effect of unrecognized recirculation of indicator particles upon the primary indicator time-concentration curve has caused concern as to whether this method may be employed in such conditions as mitral regurgitation3' 4and as to whether ...
متن کاملRadioactive Isotope Determination of Myocardial Blood
ESTIMATION of cardiac output by the indicator-dilution method has been described by Kinsman, Moore, and Hamilton1 utilizing dye; however, radioactive methods for determination of cardiac output owe their inception to Prinzmetal and co-workers,2 who recorded radioactivity as a function of time by means of a counter over the heart after an intravenous injection of radioactive Na24. Nylin and Cela...
متن کاملPresentation of a Non-invasive Method of Estimating Arterial Stiffness by Modeling Blood Flow and Arterial Wall Based on the Determination of Elastic Module of Arterial Wall
Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. Several indices have been introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. Since the substitution of the blood pressure changes in the central arteries such as carotid with the blood pressure changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...
