[Certain problems of study of cardiohemodynamics by the method of ultrasonic Doppler-echolocation]
Abstract:
Results obtained in experiments on 10 adult mongrel dogs are offered. A synchronous registration of ultrasonic doppler-cardiograms (USDC) and of the intraventricular pressure continued throughout the experiment helped establish the relation between the pressure range in the left ventricle and the acceleration on the USDC curve. On the ground of the dependence thus obtained 2 indexes are proposed, viz. for an indirect evaluation of the intraventricular pressure (the index of "rated acceleration") and for appraising the contractability or the muyo cardium (the index of "relaxation from acceleration"). The available data might in the future provide for the possibility of devising appliances supplementing and replacing the catheterization.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
