چکیده

BACKGROUND left ventricular (LV) rotation results from contraction of obliquely oriented myocardial fibers. The net difference between systolic apical counterclockwise rotation and basal clockwise rotation is left ventricular torsion (LVT). Although LVT is altered in various cardiac diseases, determinants of LVT are incompletely understood. METHODS AND RESULTS LV end-diastolic volume, LV apical and basal rotation, peak systolic LVT, and peak early diastolic untwisting rate were measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography in healthy subjects (n=8) before and after infusion of a weight-based normal saline bolus (2.1±0.3 L). Saline infusion led to a significant increase in end-diastolic LV internal diameter (45.9±3.7 versus 47.6±4.2 mm; P=0.002) and LV end-diastolic volume (90.0±21.6 versus 98.3±19.6 mL; P=0.01). Stroke volume (51.3±10.9 versus 63.0±15.5 mL; P=0.003) and cardiac output (3.4±0.8 versus 4.4±1.5 L/min; P=0.007) increased, whereas there was no change in heart rate and blood pressure. There was a significant increase in the magnitude of peak systolic apical rotation (7.5±2.4° versus 10.5±2.8°; P<0.001) but no change in basal rotation (-4.1±2.3° versus -4.8±3.1°; P=0.44). Accordingly, peak systolic LVT increased by 33% after saline infusion (11.2±1.3° versus 14.9±1.7°; P<0.001). This saline-induced increase in LVT was associated with a marked increase in peak early diastolic untwisting rate (72.3±21.4 versus 136.8±30.0 degrees/s; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS peak systolic LVT and peak early diastolic untwisting rate are preload-dependent. Changes in LV preload should be considered when interpreting results of future LVT studies.

Independent effects of preload, afterload, and contractility on left ventricular torsion.

Shortening of oblique left ventricular (LV) fibers results in torsion. A unique relationship between volume and torsion is therefore expected, and the effects of load and contractility on torsion should be predictable. However, volume-independent behavior of torsion has been observed, and the effects of load on this deformation remain controversial. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with...

Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure and central venous pressure fail to predict ventricular filling volume, cardiac performance, or the response to volume infusion in normal subjects.

OBJECTIVE Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure and central venous pressure have been considered to be reliable measures of left and right ventricular preload in patients requiring invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Studies in recent years have questioned the correlation between these estimates of ventricular filling pressures and ventricular end-diastolic volumes/cardiac performance variables in s...

Effects of acute increases in left ventricular preload on indices of myocardial function in conscious, unrestrained and intact, tranquilized baboons.

The effects of acute volume loading were examined on indices of left ventricular (LV) function in conscious, unrestrained and intact, tranquilized baboons. Experiments were conducted 1-3 mo after implantation of ultrasonic transducers to measure LV internal diameter and wall thickness, and miniature LV pressure gauges and aortic and left atrial catheters. In 10 intact, tranquilized baboons, rap...
