Abstrakt: The peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (PSPESDRS) was determined in ten healthy subjects under general anaesthesia by using the radial artery pressure tracing (peak-systolic pressure) and transoesophageal 2d-and m-mode echocardiography (left ventricular diameters) without blocking of autonomic reflexes. Left ventricular load was changed by injection of a single intravenous dose of 0,2 mg nitroglycerin (NTG). Linear regression analysis showed a close linear relationship during the pressure decrease between peak-systolic pressures and end-systolic diameters.
