  • Method for determining ventricle contractility independently of load
    Patent number: 12064283
    Abstract: A method for determining contractility independent of load Ees of a ventricle of a person is provided. The chronological profile of blood pressure during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) is first determined for a at least one ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat. The at least one resulting pressure curve is then calibrated and normalized, and then the end-systolic pressure is determined from this calibrated, normalized pressure curve. The profile of blood volume over time is determined during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) for a ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat, to determine the end-systolic volume Ves. The intercept VO is then determined from this end-systolic volume Ves, and contractility independent of load Ees of an examined ventricle of a person is calculated as a slope from the end-systolic pressure Pes, the end-systolic volume Ves, and the intercept V0.

  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING CONTRACTILITY INDEPENDENTLY OF LOAD
    Publication number: 20220061799
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining contractility independent of load Ees of at least one examined ventricle of a person. The chronological profile of blood pressure during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) is first determined for at least one ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat. The at least one resulting pressure curve is then calibrated and normalized, and then the end-systolic pressure is determined from this calibrated, normalized pressure curve. Furthermore, the profile of blood volume over time is determined during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) for at least one ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat, to then determine the end-systolic volume Ves therefrom.
