Abstract

To test the hypothesis that increased cardiac output with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) leads to increased myocardial metabolic cost. Prospective, repeated-measures, laboratory studies. University-affiliated hospital animal research laboratory. Eight sedated pigs that had been previously instrumented for collection of hemodynamic data. Application of CPAP at 0, 5, 10, and 15 cm H2O and recovery under conditions of normal blood volume (normovolemia) and after administration of hetastarch 35 mL/kg (hypervolemia). We measured mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance index, the first derivative of the left ventricular pressure at a left ventricular pressure of 50 mm Hg, rate-pressure product, left ventricular tension-time index, stroke work index, myocardial pressure-myocardial segment length area, coronary artery blood flow and coronary vascular resistance, and myocardial oxygen consumption (four pigs). With normovolemia, cardiac output decreased with CPAP (4.9 +/- 1.2 L/min at CPAP of 0 cm H2O to 4.5 +/- 1.3 L/min at CPAP of 15 cm H2O, p < .005) and systemic vascular resistance index increased (2509 +/- 702 to 3095 +/- 1080 dyne.sec/cm5.m2, p < .01). With hypervolemia, cardiac output incre...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
