  • Publication number: 20060282125
    Abstract: Introduction: Emerging technology will soon allow for the chronic assessment of telemetered left ventricular (LV) pressure in patients supported with LVADs; however, specific methods have not been developed for the use of LV pressure during LVAD support. Methods: Adult Suffolk sheep (N=6, 78±3 Kg) underwent placement of axial-flow LVAD. Each animal was instrumented with a telemetered LV pressure manometer, an outflow graft transit time flow probe, and endocardial LV long and short axis piezoelectric crystals to derive LV volume and stroke work (SW). In unsedated sheep, LV load was varied by increasing LVAD speed from 6,000 to 10,880±120 rpm (“run”). During ‘run’, the PRSW (slope: MW), and simultaneously, the relationship of LV triple product (TP) to LV end-diastolic pressure (TP/EDP, slope: MTP) were determined by least squares regression analyses before and after ?1-blockade (esmolol 5 mg/kg/min). Comparisons were made using One-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: VAD support, 4.5±0.
