The hemodynamic model was inappropriate to explain the disappointing effect of vasodilation and the beneficial effect of beta-blockade in chronic heart failure. A more nuanced hemodynamic analysis, taking both steady and pulsatile hemodynamics into consideration, improves insight into these apparently enigmatic effects. Of particular interest is the velocity of early systolic flow as a determinant of left ventricular afterload. Several drugs, in particular beta-blockers, directly or indirectly, influence the velocity of early systolic flow. Thus, the hemodynamic model in heart failure may deserve reconsideration.

Pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic factors for dexmedetomidine-associated hemodynamic instability in pediatric patients.
Front Pharmacol
January 2025
Institute of Clinical Pharmacology, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.
Purpose: The incidence of hemodynamic instability associated with dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation has been reported to exceed 50%, with substantial inter-individual variability in response. Genetic factors have been suggested to contribute significantly to such variation. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical, pharmacokinetic, and genetic factors associated with DEX-induced hemodynamic instability in pediatric anesthesia patients.

Background: Traditional 2-dimensional (2D) ultrasound is a noninvasive method in the assessment of glomerular disease. Ultrasound elastography shows promise in evaluating renal fibrosis, which plays a key role in glomerular disease progression. However, research in pediatric cohorts is limited.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO), a cardiac anatomical anomaly inducing abnormal haemodynamics, leads to a paradoxical bypass of the pulmonary circulation. PFO closure might alleviate migraines; however, clinical evidence and basic experiments for the relationship are lacking. To explore the effect of PFO on migraine, 371 migraineurs finishing blood tests and contrast transthoracic echocardiography for the detection of PFO were prospectively included.

The present article focuses on the analysis of the two-phase flow of blood via a stenosed artery under the influence of a pulsatile pressure gradient. The core and plasma regions of flow are modeled using the constitutive relations of Herschel-Bulkley and the Newtonian fluids, respectively. The problem is modeled in a cylindrical coordinate system.

Blood pressure (BP) is a dynamic measure that is frequently discussed in static terms. There exist many limitations in current documentation systems whereby documented BP values may not be reflective of the dynamic variability of BP. This study used an observational, prospective, non-randomized study design to examine the variability in BP response during intravenous vasoactive medication administration in an intensive care unit setting.
