Transmitral Flow Changes during DipyridamoleInduced lschemia *
نویسنده
چکیده
Myocardial ischemia results in altered left ventricular (LV) diastolic compliance, reflected by an abnormal mitral inflow pattern on Doppler echocardiography. To investigate the relationship of Doppler echocardiography and regional myocardial systolic function during dipyridamole infusion, we evaluated transmitral flow changes detected by pulsed Doppler technique during a high-dose dipyridamole echo-

Changes in porcine transmitral flow velocity pattern and its diastolic determinants during partial coronary occlusion.
OBJECTIVES To define the mechanical determinants of transmitral flow and the effect of heart rate during regional ischemia. BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia changes the transmitral flow velocity pattern due to disease-induced changes in the heart's diastolic properties. METHODS Regional ischemia was produced in 12 pigs by partially occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery until ...
متن کاملTransmitral velocities measured by pulsed Doppler in healthy volunteers: effects of acute changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
The effect of a two minute cold pressor test on transmitral velocities measured by pulsed Doppler was studied in 11 healthy volunteers. Blood pressure increased significantly during cold immersion but peak atrial and peak early diastolic transmitral velocities and their ratio (A:E) were unchanged. There was no correlation between changes in Doppler variables and changes in calculated mean arter...
متن کاملMechanism of dynamic regurgitant orifice area variation in functional mitral regurgitation: physiologic insights from the proximal flow convergence technique.
OBJECTIVES We used the Doppler proximal flow convergence technique as a physiologic tool to explore the effects of the time courses of mitral annular area and transmitral pressure on dynamic changes in regurgitant orifice area. BACKGROUND In functional mitral regurgitation (MR), regurgitant flow rate and orifice area display a unique pattern, with peaks in early and late systole and a midsyst...

msec (p=0.04) with a concomitant decrease in IVRT from 74±18 to 38±8 msec (p=0.03). During decreased inotropy (by propranolol infusion) at constant preload, slowing of relaxation was indicated by an increase in T from 40±8 to 51±+13 msec (p=0.02) with a concomitant increase in IVRT from 71±+15 to 83+±21 msec (p<0.05). A significant correlation between changes in and changes in IVRT was found (r...
متن کاملThe genesis of the third and fourth heart sounds. A pressure-flow study in dogs.
To examine the mechanism of mitral flow deceleration in diastole and its potential influence on the genesis of third (S3) and fourth (S4) heart sounds, we simultaneously recorded left atrial and left ventricular pressures (micromanometers), mitral flow velocity (electromagnetic catheter-tip flow velocity meter), and internal and external phonocardiograms in 25 open-chest dogs. Diastolic time in...
