The purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: 1) are isovolumic contraction and relaxation affected in a different way by LAD occlusion? 2) Does proximal and distal LAD coronary occlusion induce different changes in isovolumic contraction and relaxation? In 22 pigs, LAD coronary artery was dissected free right after the first or third diagonal branch and occluded by ligation. The following variables were evaluated: left ventricular systolic and end-diastolic pressure; peak - and + dP/dt, mean arterial and pulmonary pressure. All our data were obtained in the first minute following the occlusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Introduction We aimed to assess whether partial hepatectomy has an influence on conventional and speckle tracking parameters on echocardiography in living liver donors in the early postoperative period. Methods This study was a retrospective study to investigate the cardiac effects of liver donation after the transplant operation in a high-volume liver transplant center. Ninety living liver donors were included in the study.

Aim: To establish an imaging-based method to quantify left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressures.
Methods/results: In 115 patients suspected of coronary artery disease, LV pressure was measured by micromanometers and images by echocardiography. LV filling pressure was measured as LV pre-atrial contraction pressure (pre-A PLV).

Objective: To evaluate the influence of pre-existing maternal diabetes mellitus on fetal myocardial performance index and systolic-to-diastolic duration ratio.
Methods: Prospective cohort study included 179 pregnant women between 20 and 36w6d, divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (120, normal), Group 2 (31, type 1 diabetes mellitus), and Group 3 (28, type 2 diabetes mellitus). Systolic-to-diastolic duration ratio was calculated as the sum of isovolumic contraction time and ejection time divided by the sum of isovolumic relaxation time and ventricular filling time.

Background And Objective: Vasoconstriction of the resistance artery is mainly determined by an integrated action of multiple local stimuli acting on the vascular smooth muscle cells, which include neuronal delivery of α-adrenoceptor agonists and intraluminal pressure. The contractile activity of the arterial wall has been extensively studied ex vivo using isolated arterial preparations and myography techniques. However, agonist-mediated vasoconstriction response is often confounded by local effects of other stimuli (e.

fetal circulatory characteristics differ from those after birth; the right ventricle assumes more than 60% of the workload in the systemic circulation before birth. The right ventricle automated myocardial performance index (AM+MPI) is a simple, time-efficient, and stable assessment method used to evaluate overall cardiac function. This study aimed to apply the right ventricle AM+MPI technique to explore its role in normal mid-to-late pregnancy fetal cardiac function and compare the AM+MPI differences between diabetic and normal fetuses.
