We tested the hypothesis that increases in intrathoracic pressure (ITP), by decreasing the pressure gradient for anterograde left ventricular (LV) ejection, should augment cardiac output in acute mitral regurgitation (MR). In a pentobarbital-anesthetized closed-chest canine model, LV stroke volume (SLLV) was measured by integration from an aortic flow probe signal. MR was induced by a regurgitant ring. ITP was elevated over apnea by means of intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV), asynchronous (asynch) high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV), and cardiac cycle-specific (synch) HFJV. IPPV resulted in the greatest increase in ITP. MR caused a fall in SVLV and a rise in LV filling pressure that were not altered by IPPV. Compared with IPPV or apnea, both asynch and synch HFJV increased SVLV and reduced LV filling pressures (P less than 0.05). Systolic synch HFJV induced a greater increase in SVLV (32%) than diastolic synch HFJV (26%) despite similar ventilatory settings. Our data suggest that when LV contractility is normal but MR impairs forward flow, cardiac cycle-specific increases in ITP will augment forward flow.  相似文献

To evaluate, in the absence of lung inflation, the cardiovascular effects of single and repetitive pleural pressure increments induced by thoracic vest inflations and timed to occur during specific portions of the cardiac cycle, seven chronically instrumented dogs were studied. Reflexes and left ventricular (LV) performance were varied by autonomic blockade, circumflex coronary occlusion (with and without beta-blockade), or cardiac arrest. Single late systolic, but not early systolic, vest inflations significantly increased LV stroke volume both before (+12.4%) and after myocardial depression by coronary occlusion+beta-blockade (+18.5%) when performed after a period of apnea to control preload and rate. During vest inflations, LV and aortic pressures increased to a greater degree than esophageal pressure (by 51 vs. 39 mmHg, P = 0.0001). Lung inflations (26 trials in 3 dogs) during early or late systole failed to increase stroke volume, despite peak esophageal pressures of 11-26 mmHg. With autonomic reflexes intact, repetitive vest inflations coupled to early systole, late systole, or diastole induced a large (40%) but unspecific systemic flow increase. In contrast, during autonomic blockade, flow increased slightly (7.5%, P < 0.05) with late systolic compared with diastolic inflations but not relative to baseline. During coronary occlusion (with or without beta-blockade), no cycle-specific differences were seen, whereas matched vest inflations during cardiac arrest generated 20-30% of normal systemic flow. Thus only single late systolic thoracic vest inflations associated with large increments in pleural pressure increased LV emptying, presumably by decreasing LV afterload and/or focal cardiac compression. However, during myocardial ischemia and depression, coupling of vest inflation to specific parts of the cardiac cycle revealed no hemodynamic improvement, suggesting that benefits of this circulatory assist method, if any, are minor and may be restricted to conditions of cardiac arrest.  相似文献

We studied the cardiovascular effects of phasic increases in intrathoracic pressure (ITP) by high-frequency jet ventilation in an acute pentobarbital-anesthetized intact canine model both before and after the induction of acute ventricular failure by large doses of propranolol. Chest and abdominal pneumatic binders were used to further increase ITP. Respiratory frequency, percent inspiratory time, mean ITP, and swings in ITP throughout the respiratory cycle were independently varied at a constant-circulating blood volume. We found that pertubations in mean ITP induced by ventilator adjustments accounted for all observable steady-state hemodynamic changes independent of respiratory frequency, inspiratory time, or phasic respiratory swings in ITP. Changes in ITP were associated with reciprocal changes in both intrathoracic vascular pressures (P less than 0.01) and blood volume (P less than 0.01). When cardiac function was normal, left ventricular (LV) stroke volume decreased, whereas in acute ventricular failure, LV stroke volume increased in response to increasing ITP when apneic LV filling pressure was high (greater than or equal to 17 Torr) and did not change if apneic LV filling pressure was low (less than or equal to 12 Torr). However, in all animals in acute ventricular failure, LV stroke work increased with increasing ITP. Our study demonstrates that the improved cardiac function seen with increasing ITP in acute ventricular failure is dependent upon adequate LV filling and decreased LV afterload in a manner analogous to that seen with arterial vasodilator therapy in heart failure.  相似文献

Intracardiac blood flow patterns are potentially important to cardiac pumping efficiency. However, these complex flow patterns remain incompletely characterized both in health and disease. We hypothesized that normal left ventricular (LV) blood flow patterns would preferentially optimize a portion of the end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) for effective and rapid systolic ejection by virtue of location near and motion towards the LV outflow tract (LVOT). Three-dimensional cine velocity and morphological data were acquired in 12 healthy persons and 1 patient with dilated cardiomyopathy using MRI. A previously validated method was used for analysis in which the LVEDV was separated into four functional flow components based on the blood's locations at the beginning and end of the cardiac cycle. Each component's volume, kinetic energy (KE), site, direction, and linear momentum relative to the LVOT were calculated. Of the four components, the LV inflow that passes directly to outflow in a single cardiac cycle (Direct Flow) had the largest volume. At the time of isovolumic contraction, Direct Flow had the greatest amount of KE and the most favorable combination of distance, angle, and linear momentum relative to the LVOT. Atrial contraction boosted the late diastolic KE of the ejected components. We conclude that normal diastolic LV flow creates favorable conditions for ensuing ejection, defined by proximity and energetics, for the Direct Flow, and that atrial contraction augments the end-diastolic KE of the ejection volume. The correlation of Direct Flow characteristics with ejection efficiency might be a relevant investigative target in cardiac failure.  相似文献

This study presents a simulated analysis of Phased Compression Cardiac Assist Device (PCCAD) and evaluation of its applicability as a non-invasive temporary assist for a failing heart. The new technique is based on the chest pump mechanism for blood flow augmentation during external massage by phased compression of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. A semi-closed hydraulic system to simulate the systemic circulation was constructed; the system includes a left ventricle which functions according to the Starling principle and a pneumatic system which controls the pressures applied to the thoracic and abdominal cavities, in complete synchronization with the beating normal or failing heart. The possibility of manipulating the three pumps in series (venous, heart, and arterial) has been checked, and the principal parameters which effect the efficiency of the PCCAD were evaluated. This in vitro analysis shows the high potential of a non-invasive temporary cardiac assist device. It points to the necessary measures one has to take in order to achieve good synchronization and to interfere externally with the augmentation of cardiac output or with the augmentation of root aortic pressure.  相似文献

Precise knowledge of the volume and rate of early rapid left ventricular (LV) filling elucidates kinematic aspects of diastolic physiology. The Doppler E wave velocity-time integral (VTI) is conventionally used as the estimate of early, rapid-filling volume; however, this implicitly requires the assumption of a constant effective mitral valve area (EMVA). We sought to evaluate whether the EMVA is truly constant throughout early, rapid filling in 10 normal subjects using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contemporaneous Doppler echocardiography, which were synchronized via ECG. LV volume measurements as a function of time were obtained via MRI, and transmitral flow values were measured via Doppler echocardiography. The synchronized data were used to predict EMVA as a function of time during early diastole. Validation involved EMVA determination using 1) the short-axis echocardiographic images near the mitral valve leaflet tips, 2) the distance between leaflet tips in the echocardiographic parasternal long-axis view, and 3) the distance between leaflet tips from the MRI LV outflow tract view. Predicted EMVA values varied substantially during early rapid filling, and observed EMVA values agreed well with predictions. We conclude that the EMVA is not constant, and its variation causes LV volume to increase faster than is reflected by the VTI. These results reveal the mechanism of early rapid volumetric increase and directly affect the significance and physiological interpretation of the VTI of the Doppler E wave. Application to subjects in selected pathophysiological subsets is in progress.  相似文献

Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic indicator in many forms of heart disease, but its assessment remains challenging and inexact. RV dysfunction may alter the normal patterns of RV blood flow, but those patterns have been incompletely characterized. We hypothesized that, based on anatomic differences, the proportions and energetics of RV flow components would differ from those identified in the left ventricle (LV) and that the portion of the RV inflow passing directly to outflow (Direct Flow) would be prepared for effective systolic ejection as a result of preserved kinetic energy (KE) compared with other RV flow components. Three-dimensional, time-resolved phase-contrast velocity, and balanced steady-state free-precession morphological data were acquired in 10 healthy subjects using MRI. A previously validated method was used to separate the RV and LV end-diastolic volumes into four flow components and measure their volume and KE over the cardiac cycle. The RV Direct Flow: 1) followed a smoothly curving route that did not extend into the apical region of the ventricle; 2) had a larger volume and possessed a larger presystolic KE (0.4 ± 0.3 mJ) than the other flow components (P < 0.001 and P < 0.01, respectively); and 3) represented a larger part of the end-diastolic blood volume compared with the LV Direct Flow (P < 0.01). These findings suggest that diastolic flow patterns distinct to the normal RV create favorable conditions for ensuing systolic ejection of the Direct Flow component. These flow-specific aspects of RV diastolic-systolic coupling provide novel perspectives on RV physiology and may add to the understanding of RV pathophysiology.  相似文献

Changes in intrathoracic pressure (ITP) can influence cardiac performance by affecting ventricular loading conditions. Because both systemic venous return and factors determining left ventricular (LV) ejection may vary over the cardiac cycle, phasic increases in ITP may differentially affect preload or afterload if delivered at specific points within the cardiac cycle. We studied the hemodynamic effects of cardiac cycle-specific increases in ITP (pulses) delivered by a high-frequency jet ventilator in an acute closed-chested canine model (n = 11), using electromagnetic flow probes to measure biventricular stroke volume. Measurements were taken during a control condition after the induction of acute ventricular failure (AVF) by propranolol hydrochloride and volume infusion. ITP was independently varied without changing lung volume by the inflation of thoracoabdominal binders. Although synchronous pulses had minimal hemodynamic effects in unbound controls, binding pulses timed to occur in early diastole resulted in decreases in LV filling pressure and left ventricular stroke volume (SVlv) (P less than 0.05). In the AVF condition, pulses increased LV performance, evidenced by increases in SVlv (P less than 0.01), despite decreases in LV filling pressure (P less than 0.05). This effect is maximized by binding and by timing the pulses to occur in systole. We conclude that cardiac cycle-specific increases in ITP can significantly affect cardiac performance. These effects appear to be related to the ability of such timed pulses to selectively affect LV preload and afterload.  相似文献

We studied the effects of synchronous cardiac cycle-specific high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in pentobarbital-anesthetized, splenectomized, closed-chest dogs to test the hypothesis that phasic inspiratory increases in intrathoracic pressure (ITP) selectively timed to specific periods of the cardiac cycle have different hemodynamic effects during both hypovolemia (acute hemorrhage, 20 ml/kg) and neurogenic vasomotor shock (hexamethonium, 10 mg/kg) than those observed during normovolemic control conditions. Ventricular stroke volumes (SV) were measured by electromagnetic flow probes. The influence of changes in venous return (VR) on the subsequent hemodynamic response to synchronous HFJV was analyzed using instantaneous VR curves (M. R. Pinsky, J. Appl. Physiol. 56:765-771, 1984). During hemorrhage the VR curve was shifted leftward with concomitant reductions in apneic SV (15.4 +/- 3.8 to 11.2 +/- 3.6 ml, mean +/- SD), (P less than 0.01) that were accentuated by HFJV (P less than 0.01), except when the phasic inspiratory increases in ITP during HFJV were timed to occur during late diastole (-4% apneic SV, NS). SV was greater with late diastolic pulses than with other timed synchronous ITP pulses during hypovolemia (P less than 0.01). During ganglionic blockade, arterial pressure decreased (139 +/- 14 to 76 +/- 18 Torr, P less than 0.001), but VR was preserved at control levels, and no significant cardiac cycle-specific HFJV effects occurred. We conclude that SV reductions associated with positive-pressure ventilation during acute hypovolemia are minimized by HFJV synchronized to late diastole but that this effect is preload dependent.  相似文献

Objectives

To compare cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality between manual CPR and miniaturized chest compressor (MCC) CPR. To improve CPR quality through evaluating the quality of our clinical work of resuscitation by real-time video recording system.

Methods

The study was a retrospective observational study of adult patients who experienced CPR at the emergency department of Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital from March 2013 to August 2014. All the performance of CPR were checked back by the record of “digital real-time video recording system”. Average chest compression rate, actual chest compression rate, the percentage of hands-off period, time lag from patient arrival to chest compression, time lag from patient arrival to manual ventilation, time lag from patient arrival to first IV establish were compared. Causes of chest compression hands-off time were also studied.

Results

112 cases of resuscitation attempts were obtained. Average chest compression rate was over 100 compression per minute (cpm) in the majority of cases. However, indicators such as percentage of hands-off periods, time lag from patient arrival to the first manual ventilation and time lag from patient arrival to the first IV establish seemed to be worse in the manual CPR group compared to MCC CPR group. The saving of operators change time seemed to counteract the time spent on MCC equipment. Indicators such as percentage of hands-off periods, time lag between patient arrival to the first chest compression, time lag between patient arrival to the first manual ventilation and time lag from patient arrival to the first IV establish may influence the survival.

Conclusion

Our CPR quality remained to be improved. MCC may have a potentially positive role in CPR.  相似文献

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may impair extrapulmonary organ function. However, the effects of PEEP on the liver are unclear. We tested the hypothesis that at a constant cardiac output (CO), PEEP does not induce changes in hepatic blood flow (QL) and parenchymal performance. In splenectomized, close-chested canine preparations (group I, n = 6), QL was derived as hepatic outflow using electromagnetic flow probes (QLemf), and hepatic performance was defined by extraction and clearance of indocyanine green (ICG). In a noninvasive model (group II, n = 7), the effects of PEEP on hepatic performance alone were similarly analyzed. Measurements were taken during intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV1), after addition of 10 cmH2O PEEP to IPPV (PEEP1), during continued PEEP but after return of CO to IPPV1 levels by intravascular volume infusions (PEEP2), and after removal of both PEEP and excess blood volume (IPPV2). Phasic inspiratory decreases in QLemf present during positive-pressure ventilation were not increased during either PEEP1 or PEEP2. Mean QLemf decreased proportionately with CO during PEEP1 (P less than 0.05), but was restored to IPPV1 levels in a parallel fashion with CO during PEEP2. The ICG pharmacokinetic responses to PEEP were complex, with differential effects on extraction and clearance. Despite this, hepatic performance was not imparied in either group. we conclude that global QL reductions during PEEP are proportional to PEEP-induced decreases in CO and are preventable by returning CO to pre-PEEP levels by intravascular volume infusions. However, covarying changes in blood volume and hepatic outflow resistance may independently modulate hepatic function.  相似文献

The spectral Doppler mitral flow pattern, alone or combined with tissue Doppler mitral annulus velocity, can be used to predict left ventricular (LV) filling pressure in humans, whereas invasive hemodynamic measurements are still required in the rat. This study was undertaken to assess whether LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) can be estimated using Doppler echocardiography in the rat after myocardial infarction (MI). Thirty-seven rats (23 rats with MI after left coronary artery ligation and 14 sham-operated rats) were evaluated 3 mo after surgery with echo-Doppler and invasive hemodynamic measurements. Pulse wave spectral Doppler at the mitral valve tip was used to measure the E wave, the E wave deceleration time (DT), and the A wave; spectral Doppler tissue imaging was used to measure the early diastolic lateral mitral annulus velocity (E(a)). We found weak correlations between LVEDP and the peak velocity of the early mitral inflow (E), E/peak velocity of the late mitral inflow, and DT, and strong correlations with E(a) and especially with E/E(a) [R(2) = 0.89, LVEDP (in mmHg) = 0.987E/E(a) - 4.229]. Longitudinal followup of a subgroup of rats with MI revealed a marked rise of E/E(a) between days 7 and 21 in rats with heart failure only. We conclude that Doppler echocardiography can be used for serial assessment of LV diastolic function in rats with MI.  相似文献

Tbx5(del/+) mice provide a model of human Holt-Oram syndrome. In this study, the cardiac functional phenotypes of this mouse model were investigated with 30-MHz ultrasound by comparing 12 Tbx5(del/+) mice with 12 wild-type littermates at 1, 2, 4, and 8 wk of age. Cardiac dimensions were measured with two-dimensional and M-mode imaging. The flow patterns in the left and right ventricular inflow channels were evaluated with Doppler flow sampling. Compared with wild-type littermates, Tbx5(del/+) mice showed significant changes in the mitral flow pattern, including decreased peak velocity of the left ventricular (LV) early filling wave (E wave), increased peak velocity of the late filling wave (A wave), and decreased or even reversed peak E-to-A ratio. The prolongation of LV isovolumic relaxation time was detected in Tbx5(del/+) neonates as early as 1 wk of age. In Tbx5(del/+) mice, LV wall thickness appeared normal but LV chamber dimension was significantly reduced. LV systolic function did not differ from that in wild-type littermates. In contrast, the Doppler flow spectrum in the enlarged tricuspid orifice of Tbx5(del/+) mice demonstrated increased peak velocities of both E and A waves and increased total time-velocity integral but unchanged peak E/A. In another 13 mice (7 Tbx5(del/+), 6 wild-type) at 2 wk of age, significant correlation was found between Tbx5 gene expression level in ventricular myocardium and LV filling parameters. In conclusion, the LV diastolic function of Tbx5(del/+) mice is significantly deteriorated, whereas the systolic function remains normal.  相似文献

Introduction

Intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) is often used in patients with acute coronary syndrome for its favourable effects on left ventricular (LV) systolic function and coronary perfusion. However, the effects of IABP on LV diastolic function have not been comprehensively investigated. Acute diastolic dysfunction has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of IABP on LV diastolic dysfunction using standard TEE derived parameters.

Methods

Intraoperative TEE was performed in 10 patients (mean age 65 ± 11 yrs) undergoing urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), who had received an IABP preoperatively. TEE derived measures of diastolic dysfunction included early to late transmitral Doppler inflow velocity ratio (E/A), deceleration time (Dt), pulmonary venous systolic to diastolic Doppler velocity ratio (S/D), transmitral propagation velocity (Vp), and the ratio of early to late mitral annular tissue Doppler velocities (e’/a’). Statistical analyses included the Wilcoxon Sign-Rank test, and a p<0.05 was considered significant.

Results

Transmitral inflow E/A ratios increased significantly from 0.86 to 1.07 (p < 0.05), while Dt decreased significantly from 218 to 180 ms (p < 0.05) with the use of IABP. Significant increases in Vp (34 cm/s to 43 cm/s; p < 0.05), and e’/a’ (0.58 to 0.71; p < 0.05) suggested a favourable influence of intraaortic counterpulsation on diastolic function.

Conclusion

The use of perioperative IABP significantly improves TEE derived parameters of diastolic function consistent with a favourable impact on LV relaxation in cardiac surgery patients undergoing CABG.  相似文献

Infarction of the lung is uncommon even when both the pulmonary and the bronchial blood supplies are interrupted. We studied the possibility that a tidal reverse pulmonary venous flow is driven by the alternating distension and compression of alveolar and extra-alveolar vessels with the lung volume changes of breathing and also that a pulsatile reverse flow is caused by left atrial pressure transients. We infused SF6, a relatively insoluble inert gas, into the left atrium of anesthetized goats in which we had interrupted the left pulmonary artery and the bronchial circulation. SF6 was measured in the left lung exhalate as a reflection of the reverse pulmonary venous flow. No SF6 was exhaled when the pulmonary veins were occluded. SF6 was exhaled in increasing amounts as left atrial pressure, tidal volume, and ventilatory rates rose during mechanical ventilation. SF6 was not excreted when we increased left atrial pressure transients by causing mitral insufficiency in the absence of lung volume changes (continuous flow ventilation). Markers injected into the left atrial blood reached the alveolar capillaries. We conclude that reverse pulmonary venous flow is driven by tidal ventilation but not by left atrial pressure transients. It reaches the alveoli and could nourish the alveolar tissues when there is no inflow of arterial blood.  相似文献

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation is a type of mechanical ventilation that does not require an artificial airway. Studies published in the 1990s that evaluated the efficacy of this technique for the treatment of diseases as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure have generalized its use in recent years. Important issues include the selection of the ventilation interface and the type of ventilator. Currently available interfaces include nasal, oronasal and facial masks, mouthpieces and helmets. Comparisons of the available interfaces have not shown one to be clearly superior. Both critical care ventilators and portable ventilators can be used for noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation; however, the choice of ventilator type depends on the patient''s condition and therapeutic requirements and on the expertise of the attending staff and the location of care. The best results (decreased need for intubation and decreased mortality) have been reported among patients with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiogenic pulmonary edema.Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation is the delivery of mechanical ventilation to patients with respiratory failure without the requirement of an artificial airway. The key change that led to the recent increase in the use of this technique occurred in the early 1980s with the introduction of the nasal continuous positive airway pressure mask for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Studies published in the 1990s that evaluated the efficacy of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation for treatment of diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure have generalized its use in recent years.1 In 1998, an international study on the use of mechanical ventilation found that 5% of patients admitted to intensive care units received noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation.2Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation includes various techniques for augmenting alveolar ventilation without an endotracheal airway. The clinical application of noninvasive ventilation by use of continuous positive airway pressure alone is referred to as “mask CPAP,” and noninvasive ventilation by use of intermittent positive-pressure ventilation with or without continuous positive airway pressure is called noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation.  相似文献

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support disrupts the natural blood flow path through the heart, introducing flow patterns associated with thrombosis, especially in the presence of medical devices. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the flow patterns in the left ventricle (LV) of the LVAD-assisted heart, with a focus on alterations in vortex development and stasis. Particle image velocimetry of a LVAD-supported LV model was performed in a mock circulatory loop. In the Pre-LVAD flow condition, a vortex ring initiating from the LV base migrated toward the apex during diastole and remained in the LV by the end of ejection. During LVAD support, vortex formation was relatively unchanged although vortex circulation and kinetic energy increased with LVAD speed, particularly in systole. However, as pulsatility decreased and aortic valve opening ceased, a region of fluid stasis formed near the left ventricular outflow tract. These findings suggest that LVAD support does not substantially alter vortex dynamics unless cardiac function is minimal. The altered blood flow introduced by the LVAD results in stasis adjacent to the LV outflow tract, which increases the risk of thrombus formation in the heart.  相似文献
