Ejection pressure and the diastolic left ventricular pressure-volume relation

J S Janicki, K T Weber

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |June 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ejection pressure significantly impacts the heart's diastolic pressure-volume relation. Increasing ejection pressure alters ventricular volume and end-diastolic pressure, revealing a dynamic relationship.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Cardiac Mechanics

    Background:

    • The diastolic pressure-volume (P-V) relation describes the heart's filling characteristics.
    • Understanding factors influencing this relation is crucial for assessing cardiac function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of ejection pressure (EP) on the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-volume (P-V) relation in isolated canine hearts.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a pressure servo system to control EP and monitor ventricular volume in 24 paced, isolated canine hearts.
    • Employed two methods to vary EP: incremental steady-state adjustments (Method A) and instantaneous isovolumic conditions (Method B).

    Main Results:

    • Altering EP significantly modified the left ventricular P-V relation.
    • For a constant end-diastolic pressure (EDP), end-diastolic volume (EDV) increased by 1.3-9 ml.
    • For a constant EDV, EDP decreased by an average of 16.5%, an immediate and reversible effect.

    Conclusions:

    • The diastolic pressure-volume relation is a dynamic physiological variable.
    • Ejection pressure is a key determinant of the diastolic pressure-volume relationship in the left ventricle.
