PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE Arterial wave reflection in heart failure WARREN

Arterial wave reflection may adversely influence both left ventricular afterload and ejection performance. Therefore, using multisensor catheter manometers, we derived wave reflection indexes from ascending aortic pressure and velocity recordings in 17 subjects with clinical heart failure secondary to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and 11 control subjects free of detectable cardiovascular di...

Novel wave intensity analysis of arterial pulse wave propagation accounting for peripheral reflections

We present a novel analysis of arterial pulse wave propagation that combines traditional wave intensity analysis with identification of Windkessel pressures to account for the effect on the pressure waveform of peripheral wave reflections. Using haemodynamic data measured in vivo in the rabbit or generated numerically in models of human compliant vessels, we show that traditional wave intensity...

Normal Echocardiographic Findings in Healthy Pigeons

Objective- The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of performing echocardiography in apparently healthy pigeons, and measurement of the quantitative cardiac indices using B-mode and Doppler techniques. Design- Experimental study Animals- Ten apparently healthy pigeons Procedures- Echocardi...
