  • Catherter for measuring an intraventricular pressure and method of using same
    Publication number: 20070016084
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a right ventricular dysfunction of a subject. The method includes measuring a right intraventricular pressure waveform in the subject over at least one cardiac cycle, extracting a ventricular parameter indicative of a right ventricular function from the measured right intraventricular pressure waveform, and establishing a diagnosis at least in part on a basis of the ventricular parameter.

  • Method and substance for facilitating weaning, reducing morbidity and reducing mortality in cardiac surgeries involving extra-corporal circulation
    Publication number: 20050049174
    Abstract: Prophylactic strategies aimed at delivering vasodilators through inhalation in the pulmonary tree treat and prevent right ventricular dysfunction by reducing right ventricular afterload, facilitate separation from bypass and consequently decrease hemodynamic complications, morbidity and mortality. Examples of suitable vasodilatator include prostacyclin (flolan®), amrinone (inocor®), dobutamine (dobutrex®), nitroglycerine, nitroprussiate (nipruss®) and milrinone (primacor®).
