Determinants of pulmonary blood volume

Determinants of pulmonary blood volume.

Pulmonary blood volume was determined by the radiocardiographic technique in 49 patients coming to cardiac catheterization. Since this method has not been directly compared with the more commonly used double injection of dye. 25 comparisons were carried out in 13 patients of the series. Agreement was good over a range of 4.5-21.1 heart cycles since there was no statistically significant differe...

Pulmonary Blood Volume and Pulmonary Capillary Blood Volume in Valvular

Measurements of pulmonary blood volume (PBV) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (V,) and hemodynamic studies were made in a series of 106 patients with valvular heart disease (62 with predominant mitral lesions and 44 with predominant aortic lesions). The results were compared with the data obtained from 14 "normal" patients and nine normal subjects. In 14 "normal" patients, the PBV varied fr...

Pulmonary blood volume and pulmonary capillary blood volume in valvular heart disease.

Methodology of true pulmonary blood volume determination.

THE pulmonary blood volume may be defined as the volume of blood interposed between the pulmonary artery, at the pulmonary valve, and the left atrium. The volume has been measured either on a relative or on an absolute basis, that is, by measurement of changes in pulmonary blood volume or by determination of the actual volume. The former method includes determination of lung volumes, or of pulm...
