Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how a sudden decrease in systemic afterload impacts the accuracy of Doppler measurements of left ventricular pressure rise compared to other common indicators of heart function.
- Twelve patients undergoing heart surgery were monitored as afterload was reduced using nicardipine, measuring several heart function metrics at each stage.
- Results showed a significant correlation between reduced systemic vascular resistance and Doppler-derived LV DeltaP/Delta(t), indicating it accurately reflects heart contractility, unlike other measures that may overestimate it during reduced afterload conditions.
