Assessment of myocardial function in the horse. 1. Theoretical and technical considerations
Equine Veterinary Journal
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
The paper discusses the various parameters which are currently used in attempts to assess the contractile efficiency of the myocardium in various species. These procedures depend upon accurate recording of intracavity pressure. The response of a catheter-mounted microtransducer compared with a fluid-filled catheter manometer system is illustrated to show the advantage of the former in providing a true representation of pressure changes.
