چکیده

Cardiovascular physiologists frequently infer directional changes in cardiac stroke volume and cardiac output from changes in aortic pulse pressure and atrial pressure. Errors are probably not infrequent. The Hamilton and Remington pressure pulse contour method can also indicate directional fluctuations in cardiac stroke volume. Comparison of the results of the two methods of analysis in situations where cardiac stroke index was changed acutely revealed good correspondence of indicated changes under conditions of simple alterations in venous return, but poor correspondence under more complex conditions such as after injections of pressor amines.

A System for Continuous Estimating and Monitoring Cardiac Output via Arterial Waveform Analysis

Background: Cardiac output (CO) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. CO is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. Hence, measuring CO has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. Sev...

O12: The Heart and the Brain: Stroke Induced Heart Damage

Cardiac diseases are common post-stroke and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. One possible mechanism of acute cardiac injury is the neurogenic myocardial damage, where the cerebral injury is disturbing the normal sympathetic and parasympathetic neuronal outflow to the heart leading to cardiac damage including myocardial infarctions. The exact mechanism is not completely und...
