[Hemodynamics, left ventricular volumes and compliance in 167 patients with congenital and acquired heart disease (author's transl)]

Abstract

In 167 patients with congenital and acquired heart disease (ventricular septum defect (VSD), atrial septum defect (ASD), mitral stenosis (MS), mitral insufficiency (MI), combined mitral stenosis and insufficiency (MV) aortic stenosis (AS), aortic insufficiency (AI), combined aortic stenosis and insufficiency (AV), idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (HOK) hemodynamic measures (arterial pressure, right and left heart pressures, cardiac output, cardiac index, stroke volume, cardiac work), left ventricular volumes (endiastolic volume, endsystolic volume, ejection fraction, regurgitant flow) and diastolic pressure-volume relationships (on the basis of diastolic pressure-volume changes) were determined during routine right and left heart catheterization and left ventriculography. 1...
