Abstract

To evaluate the effect of variable degrees of tricuspid regurgitation on thermodilution cardiac output measurements during changes in venous return. Prospective, controlled animal study. University laboratory. Eight anesthetized mongrel dogs instrumented for simultaneous measurement of cardiac output by thermodilution and ascending aortic electromagnetometry. Data were collected before and after induction of moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation. Under each condition, measurements were obtained at baseline and after opening 2 peripheral arteriovenous shunts to increase venous return. Baseline electromagnetic flow ranged from 1.74 to 3.62 L/min (median 2.73 L/min). Moderate and severe regurgitation reduced median electromagnetic flow values by 31% and 51%. Applying generalized estimating equations to model thermodilution cardiac output as a function of electromagnetic flow, arteriovenous shunt, and severity of tricuspid regurgitation revealed that (1) moderate and severe regurgitation changed the slope and intercept of the thermodilution/electromagnetic regression, but the differences between them were not significant, and (2) arteriovenous shunt alone had no effect under any condition. A simplified model independent of sh...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
