AI Article Synopsis

  • Ventricular pressure-volume (PV) analysis is crucial for studying heart mechanics and has improved with new calibration methods and techniques.
  • Simultaneous measurement of PV in heart chambers provides valuable insights into cardiac efficiency and performance.
  • This review emphasizes the importance of left ventricular PV analysis for understanding and managing conditions like heart failure and valvular heart disease.

Article Abstract

Ventricular pressure-volume (PV) analysis is the reference method for the study of cardiac mechanics. Advances in calibration algorithms and measuring techniques brought new perspectives for its application in different research and clinical settings. Simultaneous PV measurement in the heart chambers offers unique insights into mechanical cardiac efficiency. Beat to beat invasive PV monitoring can be instrumental in the understanding and management of heart failure, valvular heart disease, and mechanical cardiac support. This review focuses on intra cardiac left ventricular PV analysis principles, interpretation of signals, and potential clinical applications.

Background: Perioperative right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. This study aimed to demonstrate proof of concept in generating intraoperative RV pressure-volume (PV) loops and conducting an end-systolic PV relationship (ESPVR) analysis using data obtained from routinely used intraoperative monitors.

Methods: Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) between May 2023 and March 2024 were included prospectively.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are more prevalent in the elderly. There is a lack of large animal models that allow the study of the impact of age on CKD and HFpEF in a translational fashion. This manuscript reports the first large preclinical model of CKD-HFpEF and metabolic derangements in naturally aged swine.

The risks and benefits associated with simultaneous bilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) continue to engender contentious debate. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of simultaneous bilateral and unilateral UKA. A retrospective review was performed between 2019 and 2022 on 280 patients (130 simultaneous bilateral vs.

Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) can be treated with a double switch operation (DSO) to restore the normal anatomical connection of the left ventricle (LV) to the systemic circulation and the right ventricle (RV) to the pulmonary circulation. The subpulmonary LV progressively deconditions over time due to its connection to the low pressure pulmonary circulation and needs to be retrained using a surgical pulmonary artery band (PAB) for 6-12 months prior to the DSO. The subsequent clinical follow-up, consisting of invasive cardiac pressure and non-invasive imaging data, evaluates LV preparedness for the DSO.

Article Synopsis
  • Study Purpose
  • : The research aimed to determine if using a hemoadsorption device during thoraco-abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) in heart donation after circulatory death could reduce inflammation and improve heart function.
  • Methodology
  • : Involved 15 pigs undergoing induced circulatory arrest, followed by TA-NRP with and without a hemoadsorption device. Plasma cytokine levels were measured at various points, and cardiac function was evaluated using pressure-volume loop analysis.
  • Findings
  • : The hemoadsorption device did not significantly influence cytokine levels or cardiac function post-TA-NRP, indicating that inflammation levels and heart performance were not improved by this intervention
