The differences in shape between central aortic pressure (P Ao ) and flow waveforms have
never been explained satisfactorily in that the assumed explanation (substantial reflected …

The objective of this study was to determine the constraining effect of the normal human
pericardium. Accordingly, immediately after thoracotomy in nine patients undergoing elective …

Objectives : This study was designed to determine whether imaging myocardial edema
would identify acute myocardial ischemia before irreversible injury takes place. Background : …

We instrumented six dog hearts in vivo to study the relationship between left and right ventricular
diastolic pressures with the pericardium closed and open. We measured left ventricular …

Background Diastolic ventricular interaction describes a situation in which the volume of
one ventricle is directly influenced by the volume of the other ventricle. Such interaction is …

Burkhoff, Daniel, and John V. Tyberg. Why does pulmonary venous pressure rise after onset …

The augmentation index predicts cardiovascular mortality and is usually explained as a
distally reflected wave adding to the forward wave generated by systole. We propose that the …

Subjects with greater aerobic fitness demonstrate better diastolic compliance at rest, but
whether fitness modulates exercise cardiac compliance and cardiac filling pressures remains to …

Volume loading is used to treat hemodynamically compromised patients with acute pulmonary
embolism despite data to suggest that volume loading after embolism might cause a …

Left ventricular (LV) pressure and myocardial segment length, determined by an epicardial
mercury-in-silastic length gauge, were plotted simultaneously to obtain a pressure-length …
