A study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of mathematical algorithms for calculating the volume and velocity parameters of hemodynamics from relationships obtained in the model of fluid flow under the conditions of increased fluidity (Poedintsev’s model). Numerical calculations were based on the duration of phases of the cardiac cycle as determined from velocity and acceleration sphygmograms (SPGs) recorded in the radial artery. The measurement error of the volume and velocity parameters of the cardiovascular system function and regulation was estimated. The findings allow the methods of both contour and time analyses to be extrapolated from curves measured in the region of the heart and aortic ostium (kinetocardiogram, carotid SPG) to the radial SPG, making these methods much simpler and less burdensome for patients. 相似文献

The accuracy and clinical utility of preload indexes as bedside indicators of fluid responsiveness in patients after cardiac surgery is controversial. This study evaluates whether respiratory changes (Delta) in the preejection period (PEP; DeltaPEP) predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. Sixteen postcoronary artery bypass surgery patients, deeply sedated under mechanical ventilation, were enrolled. PEP was defined as the time interval between the beginning of the Q wave on the electrocardiogram and the upstroke of the radial arterial pressure. DeltaPEP (%) was defined as the difference between expiratory and inspiratory PEP measured over one respiratory cycle. We also measured cardiac output, stroke volume index, right atrial pressure, pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure, respiratory change in pulse pressure, systolic pressure variation, and the Deltadown component of SPV. Data were measured without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and after application of a PEEP of 10 cmH2O (PEEP10). When PEEP10 induced a decrease of >15% in mean arterial pressure value, then measurements were re-performed before and after volume expansion. Volume loading was done in eight patients. Right atrial pressure and pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure before volume expansion did not correlate with the change in stroke volume index after the fluid challenge. Systolic pressure variation, DeltaPEP, Deltadown, and change in pulse pressure before volume expansion correlated with stroke volume index change after fluid challenge (r2 = 0.52, 0.57, 0.68, and 0.83, respectively). In deeply sedated, mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery, DeltaPEP, a new method, can be used to predict fluid responsiveness and hemodynamic response to PEEP10. 相似文献

During one cardiac cycle, the volume encompassed by the pericardial sack in healthy subjects remains nearly constant, with a transient +/-5% decrease in volume at end systole. This "constant-volume" attribute defines a constraint that the longitudinal versus radial pericardial contour dimension relationship must obey. Using cardiac MRI, we determined the extent to which the constant-volume attribute is valid from four-chamber slices (two-dimensional) compared with three-dimensional volumetric data. We also compared the relative percentage of longitudinal versus radial (short-axis) change in cross-sectional area (dimension) of the pericardial contour, thereby assessing the fate of the +/-5% end-systolic volume decrease. We analyzed images from 10 normal volunteers and 1 subject with congenital absence of the pericardium, obtained using a 1.5-T MR scanner. Short-axis cine loop stacks covering the entire heart were acquired, as were single four-chamber cine loops. In the short-axis and four-chamber slices, relative to midventricular end-diastolic location, end-systolic pericardial (left ventricular epicardial) displacement was observed to be radial and maximized at end systole. Longitudinal (apex to mediastinum) pericardial contour dimension change and pericardial area change on the four-chamber slice were negligible throughout the cardiac cycle. We conclude that the +/-5% end-systolic decrease in the volume encompassed by the pericardial sack is primarily accounted for by a "crescent effect" on short-axis views, manifesting as a nonisotropic radial diminution of the pericardial/epicardial contour of the left ventricle. This systolic drop in cardiac volume occurs primarily at the ventricular level and is made up during the subsequent diastole when blood crosses the pericardium in the pulmonary venous Doppler D wave during early rapid left ventricular filling. 相似文献

In vivo radial strain measurements at the rabbit aortic bifurcation were made at different times during the cardiac cycle. At the peak of the pressure pulse, the radial strain at the bifurcation is positive in the plane perpendicular to the bifurcation but negative in the plane of the bifurcation. Thus the cross-sectional geometry at this location distorts from an elliptical shape in diastole toward a more circular shape in systole. 相似文献

Pulsatile flow in a model of a right coronary artery (RCA) was previously modeled as a single-phase fluid and as a two-phase fluid using experimental rheological data for blood as a function of hematocrit and shear rate. Here we present a multiphase kinetic theory model which has been shown to compute correctly the viscosity of red blood cells (RBCs) and their migration away from vessel walls: the Fahraeus–Lindqvist effect. The computed RBC viscosity decreases with shear rate and vessel size, consistent with measurements. The pulsatile computations were performed using a typical cardiac waveform until a limit cycle was well established. The RBC volume fractions, shear stresses, shear stress gradients, granular temperatures, viscosities, and phase velocities varied with time and position during each cardiac cycle. Steady-state computations were also performed and were found to compare well with time-averaged transient results. The wall shear stress and wall shear stress gradients (both spatial and temporal) were found to be highest on the inside area of maximum curvature. Potential atherosclerosis sites are identified using these computational results. 相似文献

To determine whether conduit artery size affects functional responses, we compared the magnitude, time course, and eliciting shear rate stimulus for flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in healthy men (n = 20; 31 +/- 7 yr). Upper limb (brachial and radial) and lower limb (common and superficial femoral) FMD responses were simultaneously assessed, whereas popliteal responses were measured in the same subjects during a separate visit. Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)-mediated responses were similarly examined. Edge detection and wall tracking of high-resolution B-mode arterial ultrasound images, combined with synchronized Doppler waveform envelope analysis, were used to calculate conduit artery diameter, blood flow, and shear rate continuously across the cardiac cycle. Baseline artery size correlated inversely with the FMD response (r = -0.57, P < 0.001). Within-artery comparisons revealed a significant inverse correlation between artery size and FMD% for the radial (r = -0.66, P = 0.001), brachial (r = -0.55, P = 0.01), and popliteal artery (r = -0.48, P = 0.03), but not for the superficial and common femoral artery. Normalization of FMD responses for differences in eliciting shear rate did not abolish the between-artery relationship for artery function and size (r = -0.48, P < 0.001), suggesting that differences between artery function responses were not entirely due to size-related differences in shear rate. This was reinforced by a significant between-artery correlation for GTN responses and baseline artery size (r = -0.74, P < 0.001). In summary, systematic differences exist in vascular function responses of conduit arteries that differ in size. This raises the possibility that differences in artery size within or between individuals may influence functional responses. 相似文献

The development of new approaches to the assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) is an important problem, since HRV reflects the functioning of cardiovascular control and is affected by various diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the informative value of statistical and spectral HRV parameters calculated from pulse interval (PI) data of blood pressure as compared with those calculated from RR-interval data of electrocardiograms (ECG). We recorded ECG in conscious rats using skin adhesive electrodes simultaneously with blood pressure signal obtained through a catheter in the femoral artery. It has been found that the PI sequence can be used to calculate the statistical HRV indices that describe the HRV at time intervals about 1 min or longer, but statistical indices of the PI and RR intervals may differ in the analysis of beat-tobeat variations. The power spectra of the RR intervals and PI coincide in the low-frequency region, including the band of baroreflex cardiac rhythm oscillation. However, they can differ in the high-frequency region (at respiration frequency and above). 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate right ventricular (RV) loading and cardiac output changes, by using the thermodilution technique, during the mechanical ventilatory cycle. Fifteen critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation, with 5 cmH(2)O of positive end-expiratory pressure, mean respiratory frequency of 18 breaths/min, and mean tidal volume of 708 ml, were studied with help of a rapid-response thermistor RV ejection fraction pulmonary artery catheter, allowing 5-ml room-temperature 5% isotonic dextrose thermodilution measurements of cardiac index (CI), stroke volume (SV) index, RV ejection fraction (RVEF), RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), and RV end-systolic volume (RVESV) indexes at 10% intervals of the mechanical ventilatory cycle. The ventilatory modulation of CI and RV volumes varied from patient to patient, and the interindividual variability was greater for the latter variables. Within patients also, RV volumes were modulated more by the ventilatory cycle than CI and SV index. Around a mean value of 3.95 +/- 1.18 l. min(-1). m(-2) (= 100%), CI varied from 87.3 +/- 5.2 (minimum) to 114.3 +/- 5.1% (maximum), and RVESV index varied between 61.5 +/- 17.8 and 149.3 +/- 34.1% of mean 55.1 +/- 17.9 ml/m(2) during the ventilatory cycle. The variations in the cycle exceeded the measurement error even though the latter was greater for RVEF and volumes than for CI and SV index. For mean values, there was an inspiratory decrease in RVEF and increase in RVESV, whereas a rise in RVEDV largely prevented a fall in SV index. We conclude that cyclic RV afterloading necessitates multiple thermodilution measurements equally spaced in the ventilatory cycle for reliable assessment of RV performance during mechanical ventilation of patients. 相似文献

The pulsatile blood flow in a partially blocked artery is significantly altered as the flow regime changes through the cardiac cycle. This paper reports on the application of a low-Reynolds turbulence model for computation of physiological pulsatile flow in a healthy and stenosed carotid artery bifurcation. The human carotid artery was chosen since it has received much attention because atherosclerotic lesions are frequently observed. The Wilcox low-Re k-omega turbulence model was used for the simulation since it has proven to be more accurate in describing transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Using the FIDAP finite element code a validation showed very good agreement between experimental and numerical results for a steady laminar to turbulent flow transition as reported in a previous publication by the same authors. Since no experimental or numerical results were available in the literature for a pulsatile and turbulent flow regime, a comparison between laminar and low-Re turbulent calculations was made to further validate the turbulence model. The results of this study showed a very good agreement for velocity profiles and wall shear stress values for this imposed pulsatile laminar flow regime. To explore further the medical aspect, the calculations showed that even in a healthy or non-stenosed artery, small instabilities could be found at least for a portion of the pulse cycle and in different sections. The 40% and 55% diameter reduction stenoses did not significantly change the turbulence characteristics. Further results showed that the presence of 75% stenoses changed the flow properties from laminar to turbulent flow for a good portion of the cardiac pulse. A full 3D simulation with this low-Re-turbulence model, coupled with Doppler ultrasound, can play a significant role in assessing the degree of stenosis for cardiac patients with mild conditions. 相似文献

Hemodynamic in abdominal aorta bifurcation was investigated in a real case using computational fluid dynamics. A Newtonian and non-Newtonian (Walburn-Schneck) viscosity models were compared. The geometrical model was obtained by 3D reconstruction from CT-scan and hemodynamic parameters obtained by laser-Doppler. Blood was assumed incompressible fluid, laminar flow in transient regime and rigid vessel wall. Finite volume-based was used to study the velocity, pressure, wall shear stress (WSS) and viscosity throughout cardiac cycle. Results obtained with Walburn-Schneck’s model, during systole, present lower viscosity due to shear thinning behavior. Furthermore, there is a significant difference between the results obtained by the two models for a specific patient. During the systole, differences are more pronounced and are preferably located in the tortuous regions of the artery. Throughout the cardiac cycle, the WSS amplitude between the systole and diastole is greater for the Walburn-Schneck’s model than for the Newtonian model. However, the average viscosity along the artery is always greater for the non-Newtonian model, except in the systolic peak. The hemodynamic model is crucial to validate results obtained with CFD and to explore clinical potential. 相似文献

In this second part, the methodology for optimal tumor-targeting is further explored, employing a patient-inspired hepatic artery system which differs significantly from the idealized configuration discussed in Part I. Furthermore, the fluid dynamics of a microsphere supply apparatus is also analyzed. The best radial catheter positions and particle-release intervals for tumor targeting were determined for both the idealized and patient-inspired configurations. This was accomplished by numerically analyzing generated particle release maps (PRMs) for ten equally spaced intervals throughout the pulse. As in Part I, the effects of introducing a catheter were also investigated. In addition to the determination of micro-catheter positioning and, hence, optimal microsphere release, a microsphere-supply apparatus (MSA) was analyzed, which transports the particles to the catheter-nozzle, considering different axial particle injection functions, i.e., step, ramp, and S-curve. A refined targeting methodology was developed which demonstrates how the optimal injection region and interval can be determined with the presence of a catheter for any geometric configuration. Additionally, the less abrupt injection functions (i.e., ramp and S-curve) were shown to provide a more compact particle stream, making them better choices for targeting. The results of this study aid in designing the smart micro-catheter (SMC) in conjunction with the MSA, bringing this innovative treatment procedure one step closer to implementation in clinical practice. 相似文献

To demonstrate axial artery motion during the cardiac cycle, the common carotid arteries (CCA) of 10 pigs were exposed and equipped with piezoelectric crystals sutured onto the artery as axial position detectors. An echo-tracking system was used to simultaneously measure the CCA diameter. For each animal, data for pressure, length, and diameter were collected at a frequency of 457 Hz. At a mean pulse pressure of 33 +/- 8 mmHg, the mean systolodiastolic length difference was 0.3 +/- 0.01 mm for a mean arterial segment of 11.35 +/- 1.25 mm. Systolic and diastolic diameters were 4.1 +/- 0.3 and 3.9 +/- 0.2 mm, respectively. The examined CCA segment displayed a mean axial systolic shortening of 2.7%. This study clearly demonstrates, for the first time, that the length of a segment of the CCA changes during the cardiac cycle and that this movement is inversely correlated with pulse pressure. It is also apparent that the segmental axial strain is significantly smaller than the diameter variation during the cardiac cycle and that the impact of the axial strain for compliance computation should be further evaluated. 相似文献

In vivo models of myocardial infarction induced by coronary artery ligation (CAL) in rats usually suffer from high early mortality and a low rate of induction. This study investigated the time course initiation of chronic myocardial infarction (CMI) in albino rats and the possibility of reducing early mortality rate due to myocardial infarction by modification of the surgical technique. CAL was carried out by passing the suture through the epicardial layer around the midway of the left anterior descending coronary artery including a small area of the myocardium to avoid mechanical damage to the heart geometry. In addition, the role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in rat heart with congestive heart failure was critically assessed. Time course initiation experiments were designed by sacrificing the animals at different time intervals and by carrying out physiological, biochemical, histopathological, electron microscopical and immunohistochemical studies. Specific markers of myocardial injury, viz. cardiac troponin-T (cTnT), high sensitivity C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase and fibrinogen were measured at different time points. Serum marker enzymes and activities of lysosomal hydrolases were found to be elevated on the eighth day post-ligation. Histopathological studies demonstrated focal areas showing fibrovascular tissue containing fibroblasts, collagenous ground substance and numerous small capillaries replacing cardiac muscle fibers. Transmission electron micrographs exhibited mitochondrial changes of well-developed irreversible cardiac injury, viz. swelling, disorganization of cristae, appearance of mitochondrial amorphous matrix densities, significant distortion of muscle fibers and distinct disruption of the intercalated discs. Immunoblotting studies confirmed the presence of alpha 2-macroglobulin which supported the inflammatory response. The severity of the CMI was inferred by the measurement of the level of ET-1 in plasma and left ventricle which was significantly higher in the CMI rats than in the sham-operated rats. Immunohistochemical studies at different time intervals showed that there was a significant immunoexpression of ET-1 on the eighth day post-ligation. This study conclusively showed that ligation of left anterior descending artery minimized mortality and ET-1 was expressed during CMI. 相似文献

心脏收缩时间间期(STI)通过单笔心电图机叠加记录ECG、心音图和颈动脉图后测得。对83例患者进行了STI均值与选择性冠状动脉造影(CAG)及左室造影的相关研究。患者除陈旧性心肌梗塞及室壁瘤外,根据冠状动脉(CA)狭窄程度而分组。STI随CA狭窄程度及范围的增加而显著异常,提示心功能随心肌缺血程度加重而进行性恶化。左室射血分数(LVEF)的降低也支持这一点。CA狭窄程度、范围与射血前时间/左室射血时间(PEP/LVET)呈正相关。在决定左室功能的异常方面,PEP/LVET和LVEF的临床意义完全相同。提示STI在评价冠心病心功能上是有用的。排除影响STI的某些因素后,PEP/LVET≥0.38可作为判断冠心病左心功能减退的标志。但轻度CA狭窄患者的STI可正常,这可能与静息时尚有足够的CA贮备力有关。 相似文献

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by the progression of atherosclerosis, a complex pathological process involving the initiation, deposition, development, and breakdown of the plaque. The blood flow mechanics in arteries play a critical role in the targeted locations and progression of atherosclerotic plaque. In coronary arteries with motion during the cardiac contraction and relaxation, the hemodynamic flow field is substantially different from the other arterial sites with predilection of atherosclerosis. In this study, our efforts focused on the effects of arterial motion and local geometry on the hemodynamics of a left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery before and after clinical intervention to treat the disease. Three-dimensional (3D) arterial segments were reconstructed at 10 phases of the cardiac cycle for both pre- and postintervention based on the fusion of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and biplane angiographic images. An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation was used for the computational fluid dynamic analysis. The measured arterial translation was observed to be larger during systole after intervention and more out-of-plane motion was observed before intervention, indicating substantial alterations in the cardiac contraction after angioplasty. The time averaged axial wall shear stress ranged from -0.2 to 9.5 Pa before intervention compared to -0.02 to 3.53 Pa after intervention. Substantial oscillatory shear stress was present in the preintervention flow dynamics compared to that in the postintervention case. 相似文献

We hypothesized that acute fetal metabolic acidosis decreases fetal myocardial motion in a chronic sheep model of increased placental vascular resistance (R(ua)). Eleven ewes and fetuses were instrumented at 118-122 days of gestation. After 5 days of recovery and 24 h of placental embolization to increase R(ua), longitudinal myocardial velocities of the right and left ventricles and interventricular septum (IVS) were assessed at the level of the atrioventricular valve annuli via tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). Ventricular inflow (E and A waves) and outflow velocities were obtained, and cardiac outputs were calculated. All measurements were performed at baseline and during fetal acidosis caused by epidural anesthesia-induced maternal hypotension, which decreased uterine artery volume blood flow, fetal oxygenation, arterial pH, and base excess and increased lactate. Compared with baseline, the peak isovolumic myocardial contraction and relaxation velocities of the ventricles and IVS, early relaxation velocity (E') of the ventricles, and systolic velocity of the IVS decreased during metabolic acidosis. The proportion of isovolumic contraction time of the cardiac cycle increased but the isovolumic relaxation and ejection time proportions and the TDI Tei index did not change. The E-to-E' ratio for both ventricles was higher during metabolic acidosis than at baseline. During metabolic acidosis, right and left ventricular cardiac outputs remained unchanged compared with baseline. In sheep fetuses with increased R(ua) and acute metabolic acidosis, global cardiac function was preserved. However, acute metabolic acidosis impaired myocardial contractility during the isovolumic phase and relaxation during the isovolumic and early filling phases of the cardiac cycle. 相似文献

Eighteen male volunteers (aged 20-23 years), not involved in any sporting activities, were submitted to 13 weeks of training consisting of 30 min exercise [at 50%-75% maximal oxygen intake (VO2max)] on a cycle ergometer, performed 3 times a week. Every 4 weeks cardiac function was evaluated by measuring the systolic time intervals at rest and during submaximal cycle exercise. Stroke volume (SV), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) responses to submaximal exercise, VO2max and anaerobic threshold (AT) were also determined. Significant increases in VO2max, increases in AT and SV at the submaximal exercise intensities, as well as decreases in HR and BP were found after 4 weeks of training. Resting systolic time intervals were not affected by training, but during the submaximal cycle exercise the values of the pre-ejection period (PEP) and isovolumic contraction time (ICT) corresponding to HR of 100 beats.min-1 were significantly lowered after 13 weeks of training, whereas PEP, ICT and total electromechanical systole corresponding to HR of 130 beats.min-1 were significantly shortened by the 4th week. The ratios of PEP:LVET (left ventricular ejection time) and ICT:LVET during submaximal exercise were significantly lowered by training starting from the 8th week. These changes might be interpreted as evidence of the training-induced enhancement of the "contractility reserve", i.e. the ability to increase heart muscle contractility with increasing exercise intensity. 相似文献

Background
Biventricular (Biv) pacemaker echo optimization has been shown to improve cardiac output however is not routinely used due to its complexity. We investigated the role of a simple method involving computerized pre-ejection time (PEP) assessment by radial artery tonometry in guiding Biv pacemaker optimization.Methods
Blinded echo and radial artery tonometry were performed simultaneously in 37 patients, age 69.1 ± 12.8 years, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) 33 ± 10%, during Biv pacemaker optimization. Effect of optimization on echo derived velocity time integral (VTI), ejection time (ET), myocardial performance index (MPI), radial artery tonometry derived PEP and echo-radial artery tonometry derived PEP/VTI and PEP/ET indices was evaluated.Results
Significant improvement post optimization was achieved in LV ET (286.9 ± 37.3 to 299 ± 34.6 ms, p < 0.001), LV VTI (15.9 ± 4.8 cm to 18.4 ± 5.1 cm, p < 0.001) and MPI (0.57 ± 0.2 to 0.45 ± 0.13, p < 0.001) and in PEP (246.7 ± 36.1 ms to 234.7 ± 35.5 ms, p = 0.003), PEP/ET (0.88 ± 0.21 to 0.79 ± 0.17, p < 0.001), and PEP/VTI (17.3 ± 7 to 13.78 ± 4.7, p < 0.001). The correlation between comprehensive echo Doppler and radial artery tonometry-PEP guided optimal atrioventricular delay (AVD) and optimal interventricular delay (VVD) was 0.75 (p < 0.001) and 0.69 (p < 0.001) respectively. In 29 patients with follow up assessment, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class reduced from 2.5 ± 0.8 to 2.0 ± 0.9 (p = 0.004) at 1.8 ± 1.4 months.Conclusion
An acute shortening of PEP by radial artery tonometry occurs post Biv pacemaker optimization and correlates with improvement in hemodynamics by echo Doppler and may provide a cost-efficient approach to assist with Biv pacemaker echo optimization. 相似文献20.

Cardiac output measurement from arterial pressure waveforms presumes a defined relationship between the arterial pulse pressure (PP), vascular compliance (C), and resistance (R). Cardiac output estimates degrade if these assumptions are incorrect. We hypothesized that sepsis would differentially alter central and peripheral vasomotor tone, decoupling the usual pressure wave propagation from central to peripheral sites. We assessed arterial input impedance (Z), C, and R from central and peripheral arterial pressures, and aortic blood flow in an anesthetized porcine model (n = 19) of fluid resuscitated endotoxic shock induced by endotoxin infusion (7 μg·kg?1·h?1 increased to 14 and 20 μg·kg?1·h?1 every 10 min and stopped when mean arterial pressure <40 mmHg or Sv(O?) < 45%). Aortic, femoral, and radial artery pressures and aortic and radial artery flows were measured. Z was calculated by FFT of flow and pressure data. R and C were derived using a two-element Windkessel model. Arterial PP increased from aortic to femoral and radial sites. During stable endotoxemia with fluid resuscitation, aortic and radial blood flows returned to or exceeded baseline while mean arterial pressure remained similarly decreased at all three sites. However, aortic PP exceeded both femoral and radial arterial PP. Although Z, R, and C derived from aortic and radial pressure and aortic flow were similar during baseline, Z increases and C decreases when derived from aortic pressure whereas Z decreases and C increases when derived from radial pressure, while R decreased similarly with both pressure signals. This central-to-peripheral vascular tone decoupling, as quantified by the difference in calculated Z and C from aortic and radial artery pressure, may explain the decreasing precision of peripheral arterial pressure profile algorithms in assessing cardiac output in septic shock patients and suggests that different algorithms taking this vascular decoupling into account may be necessary to improve their precision in this patient population. 相似文献
