Right and left ventricular diastolic flow field: why are measured intraventricular pressure gradients small?
Right and left ventricular (RV/LV) diastolic filling involves rapidly changing flow in a chamber with geometry undergoing temporal changes in size and shape; the right ventricle is the most challenging to model analytically, looking triangular when viewed from the front, and having irregular crescent-shaped transverse cross-sections. Accordingly, diastolic fluid dynamics in health and disease a...
متن کاملLeft-to-right systolic and diastolic ventricular interactions are dependent on right ventricular volume.
Three-compartment elastance modeling predicts that the magnitude of gain is solely dependent on the ratio of free wall and septal elastances. However, when nonlinearities in pressure-volume relationships are considered, the same model predicts that gain is load dependent. We therefore studied left-to-right ventricular interactions in the isolated cross-perfused canine heart preparation to deter...
متن کاملDoppler-derived ejection intraventricular pressure gradients provide a reliable assessment of left ventricular systolic chamber function.
BACKGROUND Ejection intraventricular pressure gradients are caused by the systolic force developed by the left ventricle (LV). By postprocessing color Doppler M-mode (CDMM) images, we can measure noninvasively the ejection intraventricular pressure difference (EIVPD) between the LV apex and the outflow tract. This study was designed to assess the value of Doppler-derived EIVPDs as noninvasive i...
متن کاملEarly improvement in left ventricular diastolic function after relief of chronic right ventricular pressure overload.
Chronic right ventricular pressure overload is associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Whether or not an abrupt reduction in pulmonary artery pressure in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension results in early improvement of left ventricular diastolic function is unknown. To assess this, the Doppler indexes of left ventricular diastolic function and echocardiographic measu...
متن کاملInfluence of Right Ventricular Hemodynamics on Left Ventricular Diastolic Pressure-Volume Relations in Man
To clarify the mechanism of displacement of the left ventricular diastolic pressure-volume function with alteration of loading conditions, the effects of nitroglycerin on pressure-volume relations in 13 patients were compared with those of amyl nitrite in 13 other patients during cardiac catheterization. After nitroglycerin, average systemic mean arterial pressure declined by 15.1 mm Hg (17%) a...
