| Popis: | Left ventricular function was assessed by measurement of systolic pressure-volume variables and ejection fraction in seven normal subjects (group I), five patients with coronary artery disease and normal symmetric left ventricular wall motion (group II) and eight patients with remote myocardial infarction and segmental akinesia (group III). Left ventricular volumes were obtained from right anterior oblique ventriculograms and pressures from catheter-tip micromanometer (14 patients) or fluid-filled catheters (6 patients) at two different systolic loads. P/Ves was calculated as the ratio of peak systolic pressure (P) to end-systolic volume (Ves) at rest, Emax as the slope of the end-systolic pressure volume line constructed at two systolic loads, and Vo as the volume axis intercept of this line. Emax was significantly (p less than 0.01) lower in patients with segmental akinesia (group III) (5.0 +/- 0.5) than in normal subjects (group I) (10.4 +/- 0.8) or patients with coronary artery disease and normal wall motion (group II) (9.9 +/- 0.8). In contrast, there was no significant difference in P/Ves among the three groups (6 +/- 1.0 in group I, 5 +/- 0.8 in group II, 3.7 +/- 0.5 in group III). Similarly, Ves and Vo failed to separate the three groups. Although ejection fraction was significantly (p less than 0.05) lower in group III (0.56 +/- 0.03) than in groups I and II (0.67 +/- 0.03 in both groups), there was considerable overlap of individual values in the three groups. In eight patients, measurements were repeated during isometric exercise.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
