Background: Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) reliably determines intracardiac chamber volumes without left ventricular (LV) geometric assumptions, yet clinical assessment of contractile performance is often on the basis of potentially inaccurate, load-dependent indices such as ejection fraction.
Methods: In 6 chronically instrumented dogs, RT3DE estimated LV volumes at various loading conditions. Preload recruitable stroke work and end-systolic pressure-volume relationships were constructed. RT3DE-derived indices were compared with similar relationships determined by sonomicrometry.
Results: Highly linear preload recruitable stroke work and end-systolic pressure-volume relationships were constructed by RT3DE and sonomicrometry. Mean preload recruitable stroke work slopes correlated between methods, but volume intercepts differed as a result of geometric assumptions of sonomicrometry. Conversely, RT3DE-derived end-systolic pressure-volume relationships did not correlate well with sonomicrometry.
Conclusions: These data are unique in reporting load-independent measures of LV performance using RT3DE. These techniques would strengthen evaluation of LV function after myocardial ischemia or cardiac operation, in which frequent changes in ventricular geometry or loading conditions confound functional assessment by more traditional methods.

Background: Among patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), responders to transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER) remain unclear. We investigated whether the slope of the preload recruitable stroke work relationship (M; calculated as stroke work / [EDV - k × EDV + {1 - k} × LV wall], where EDV is end-diastolic volume, k is a constant, and LV wall is the volume of the left ventricular wall) could predict rehospitalization in FMR patients after TEER.
Methods And Results: Mwas calculated for 24 FMR patients using echocardiography.
Systolic Function in the Fontan Circulation Is Exercise, but Not Preload, Recruitable.

Background: Fontan circulatory failure with impaired systolic function is well documented; however, its mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to explore myocardial functional reserve in adolescent patients with Fontan circulation in response to exercise or acute preload increase.
Methods: The study included 32 patients (median age, 16.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) predisposes to cardiac remodeling and coronary microvascular dysfunction. Studies in swine identified changes in microvascular structure and function, as well as changes in mitochondrial structure and oxidative stress. However, CKD was combined with metabolic derangement, thereby obscuring the contribution of CKD alone.

A U-shaped relationship should exist between lung volume and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), with minimal PVR at FRC. Thus, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) should increase PVR if it induces significant lung distension compared with recruitment. However, this has never been proved in patients.

Purpose To assess the correlation between noninvasive cardiac MRI-derived parameters with pressure-volume (PV) loop data and evaluate changes in left ventricular function after myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods Sixteen adult female swine were induced with MI, with six swine used as controls and 10 receiving platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB). Load-independent measures of cardiac function, including slopes of end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR) and preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW), were obtained on day 28 after MI.
