[Rapid diagnosis of myocardial function after open-heart operations]

The Authors observed dynamical changes of ventricular pressure curves during prolonged catheterization. An analysis gave the opportunity to point out three main types of pressure curves. There were registrated pressure curves typical for the increased pulmonary pressure, while myocardial failure process look place in the background of normal values of the right ventricle pressures. Absence of pathological changes in the pulmonary blood flow gave the opportunity to show direct dependency of pressure curves due to myocardial function. Determination of pressure curves as a rapid method of obtaining vital diagnostic information of cardiac failure.
